Didn’t do any time on Fort Sill. But Sheperd AFB in Wichita falls was full of Europeans from NATO getting trained on our planes. I would imagine Fort Sill is the same (yes, I know, different branches.)
When they get leave on the weekends I recommend Jazzmos at OKC. Nice little place. The cowboy museum can be fun if not too busy.
Oy vey!
Ditto with Carlisle War College.
They trained foreign officers from all over, even Africa.
Just as the “clown car army” took Crimea when lightly opposed, with the rewards escalated, the only thing holding them back is the bloody resistance by the Ukrainians. Hold back on support and yes Putin can win. And with that under their belt the Russians will want to rebuild and then move on to try to rebuild the Empire.
Check out the relative strength of France vs. Nazi Germany (another “clown car army”) in 1940.
A few comments:
First, you appear to be claiming that the German military circa 1940 was incompetent ("another 'clown car army'"), and presumably that the French military was defeated because they were even less competent. I've read a lot of history over the years, but that point of view seems fairly unique.
Second, given your statement in post #30 that you expect "after Ukraine Russia takes Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and down to Serbia", you apparently consider the combined NATO forces (with multiple nuclear arsenals & a combined military budget over a dozen times larger than the Russian military) to be so enormously incompetent, that they will be defeated by Putin's battle-hardened 'Keystone Cop' Ukraine vets (assuming any survive that conflict). That is certainly another unique opinion.
Third, we've been hearing the "Putin is Hitler!" and "NATO is in danger!" arguments since the invasion began. Because the Ruskies couldn't even take Kiev, and their military has been largely bogged down in the months since, people who continue to make the "HITLER!!!" claims look less and less rational as time passes. Face it: Russian tanks won't likely be rolling through the Arc de Triomphe during our lifetimes, unless the French government invites them to participate in a Bastille Day parade.
Just a suggestion, but in the future, you might consider posting analogies and predictions that are somewhat better connected to reality...

Is that the Bourbon St. Cafe, that was new back around the turn of the century?
Sounds perfect for Ukrainians. Maybe some cocaine there too? LOL
Ready made refugees to scam us some more.
FWIW pretty much my back yard.
One of their favorite claims is that Russia is reclaiming an empire while telling us that Russians are still digging taters. have no food, and unable to shoot straight. Hardly qualifications needed to reclaim an empire.
We ask, “which is it”?
They contradict themselves in order to ignore the real reasons that Russia invaded Ukraine.
Looks like NATO/WEF is forming the Empire, not Russia.
The contradictions are amazing. "Putin is Hitler, and we need to stop him now, or he'll be in Paris next week!" vs "Russian troops are untrained, under-equipped, deserting en masse, and fragging their officers!" Or, "Russian weapons are all antiquated garbage!" vs "A couple hundred billion bucks is a cheap price to pay, so we can learn all about their super-high-tech, cutting edge weapons!" And then there's "Putin is dying, desperate, crazy, and crapping himself!" vs "There's absolutely no chance the Ruskies might use nukes if the US backs them into a corner, because no sane person would ever start a nuclear war!"
There does seem to be one common thread, in all of the drivel they post - everything seems to support the transfer of more American money and weapons to Ukraine. Go figure.
Which reminds me of this:
"Zzelenskyy!! Financial Lootings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Ukraine!!"
;^)
You got it. Excellent. The Russians are all drunk on vodka and purposely killing civilians. Then we find out after the propaganda is already out there that it was actually Ukraine bombing their own.
Zeepers are so thick headed they are unable to see that others aren’t cheering for Putin, they are sick and tired of the lies and propaganda peddled by the Deep State who recruits these nincompoops to post embarrassing drivel.
1. None are so blind as those who will not see.
2. Never underestimate an enemy.
