American armed forces have begun training Ukrainian soldiers to use advanced weapons systems in Germany, the Pentagon revealed on Friday.In a Washington press briefing, Pentagon Press Secretary John F.

The Florida National Guard has been tasked with the “bulk” of the training, which will show a group of Ukrainian troops how to use advanced weapons such as howitzers, radar systems, and armoured vehicles.
“Today, I can announce that the United States has commenced training with the Ukrainian Armed Forces on key systems at U.S. military installations in Germany. Now, these efforts build on the initial artillery training that Ukraine’s forces already have received elsewhere, and also includes training on the radar systems and armoured vehicles that have been recently announced as part of security assistance packages,” Kirby said.
“This new training effort in Germany and at other locations in Europe is in direct support of recent U.S. security assistance packages that are designed to help Ukraine win their battles today and build strength for tomorrow.

I didn’t say that. :)
Ukraine is likely getting all of our military vehicles & armor powered by internal combustion engines.
The US military is going green!
Hard to tell
If Biden policy is
1. Trick and glad Russia into war to bleed her dry. Or
2. Trick USA into war with Russia
1. Number one is accomplished.
2. Number two — is .looking more and more likely
Before it was Vietnam, it was Indochina... We are at the Indochina stage in the Ukraine.
So the war is over and Russia has been bled dry? That’s good news. Now we don’t to send Ukraine any more money or weapons.
Yea, FL Nat Guard providing the training??
Sounds very very odd indeed.
I think Biden policy is to force America to submit to China and Russia.

Biden plan is to bleed the U.S dry and through fraud and legislation ensure that the Democrats have power forever.
You realize this was the propaganda of the left, directed at Trump x 4 years, right? Speaking of the political left, please tell us when was the last time you carried the water for the mainstream media, Hollywood, Nancy Pelosi, Biden and every ant-American crackpot politician in America? I'll wait for your answer, but I don't expect one. Neocons are cowards, after all.
Cen-Tejas, please tell us how it feels to be supported by every political leftist in America? Have there been other times you stand with Hollywood, Pelosi, Biden and Obama? I’ll wait for your answer.
“Exactly how the Vietnam War started in 1965 with U.S. Army ‘Advisors’, to last 20 years.”
Vietnam went until 1985? Was President Reagan aware? Dang, I enlisted in 1982 and no one told me, other than the ongoing POW issue.
Laos.
Some restraint for sure.

We are doing everything for the Ukrainians. They only need to learn how to pull the trigger on these systems. We are aiming them.
"I find it odd that the FL Nat Guard is doing the training. They’re not even full time to begin with."
At the stroke of a pen any National Guard or Reserve unit becomes an active unit ie. full-time. ;0)
Yes, you are correct, officialy 10 years.
