WASHINGTON — As Russian troops press ahead with a grinding campaign to seize eastern Ukraine, the nation’s ability to resist the onslaught depends more than ever on help from the United States and its allies — including a stealthy network of commandos and spies rushing to provide weapons, intelligence and training, according to U.S. and European officials.

But even as the Biden administration has declared it will not deploy American troops to Ukraine, some C.I.A. personnel have continued to operate in the country secretly, mostly in the capital, Kyiv, directing much of the massive amounts of intelligence the United States is sharing with Ukrainian forces, according to current and former officials.

Few other details have emerged about what the C.I.A. personnel or the commandos are doing, but their presence in the country — on top of the diplomatic staff who returned after Russia gave up its siege of Kyiv — hints at the scale of the secretive effort to assist Ukraine that is underway and the risks that Washington and its allies are taking.

Just another fully funded, black op designed to create global havoc and pain.

[pierrem15]

No, just designed to create as much havoc and pain for the Russian invaders and occupiers as possible.

I’m here to fix things, Euro Weenie. Pull up a seat, open your eyes and keep your mouf shut. Ya’ hear?

[pierrem15]

Well, it is my money, and the second largest country in Europe next to two NATO member being invaded makes it my business.

You want to “fix” the America by siding with Putin’s Soviet Russia.

You don’t depute that you hate America.

The CIA has always been the Deep State’s go to plan for having the US start unnecessary, never-ending wars to benefit Wall Street.

As long as they tithe ten percent to the Big Guy, all is well I guess.

[BipolarBob]

Yes, absolutely. You should go over there immediately and take care of your business. My business is here.

They called them Special Advisers in Vietnam.

Not only is it backing Putin’s Russia but cheering the literal planting of the Hammer and Sickle flag in the squares and plazas of conquered mill towns. The Russians renamed Ukraine’s Liberty Plaza as Lenin Plaza. In the so-called independent Republics, teachers, health workers, and administrators are forced to join the party that is called UNITED RUSSIA. The patriotic Ukrainians in the temporarily occupied areas of the Donbas are sent off to far flung camps just as in Stalin’s time.

I admit to being delighted at the pain dependence on Russian oil is causing Germany. You must be delighted too, right?

I agree pierrem15. Your comment reminded me of my favorite poem:

NO MAN IS AN ISLAND

No man is an island,
Entire of itself;
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.

If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less,
As well as if a promontory were:
As well as if a manor of thy friend’s
Or of thine own were.

Any man’s death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.

That's right. We never learn because America has a cadre of cheerleaders who activate at the mention of war.
