The U.S. military has launched an expanded, more sophisticated training program of Ukrainian forces that is focused on large-scale combat and meant to bolster Ukraine’s ability to take back territory from Russian forces, the Pentagon’s top general said Sunday.
Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said on a flight from Washington to Europe that the training began Sunday at the Grafenwoehr Training Area in Germany and will continue for five or six weeks. About 500 soldiers will go through the initial version of training, focused on what the military calls combined-arms warfare, in which tanks, artillery, combat vehicles and other weapons are layered to maximize the violence they inflict.
“We want the Ukrainians to have a capability to successfully defend their country,” Milley said. “Ukraine is doing nothing more than defending itself, and they are trying to liberate Russian-occupied Ukraine.”
The training, first disclosed in planning late last year, begins as the United States and its allies lock in an ever-growing list of weapons that could be used in an expected Ukrainian counteroffensive within months. The Biden administration approved the transfer of $3 billion in weapons on Jan. 6, marking the single largest transfer of arms to Ukraine since Russia invaded nearly a year ago, as the administration seeks cooperation from other allies to provide similar arms. Among the weapons in the U.S. package are 50 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles and motorized howitzer artillery.

Russia has been proven to be a paper tiger that would be uselessly inept were it not for the threat of their nuclear weaponry. Take the nuclear element out of it and Russia would be completely devasted by Poland alone.
I’m wondering about their nukes. If they tried to launch, would they even get off the ground? Would they have any accuracy?

“The priests were the spies and answered directly to Patriarch Kiril in Moscow, who answers directly to Putin.”
And you know this how? Are you CIA?
Do you think the reason for the IC state turning on Biden is they are tired of being his bag boy?
I mean someone had to know he was storing classified documents. Why the release now?
Did Milley tell his Chinese General friends about this ahead of time?
This is the most classic proxy war in my lifetime - USA funding the most corrupt former Soviet Republic to fight nuclear armed superpower Russia.
What is good about this war, other than being against war criminal Putin, and how are USA security interests at stake?
Answer: Nothing. They aren’t. This is a Deep State CIA MIC boondoggle flirting with nuclear war.
And source: Washington Post, newspaper of the CIA, owned by Jeff Bezos.
This is the most respectable brain-washing wicked intelligence agency propaganda source in the country.
Why do you spam the Free Republic with this stuff? It seems very neocon and that is not what we are about. We are about freedom and truth.
Why do you accuse people on this forum of having Kremlin bosses? Where do you get off doing that?
Because Alinsky rules, right?
“Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.”
WE KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING HERE. SOWING DISCORD. SHAME ON YOU.
“Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”
Alinsky Rules
Ask Cranked.
Oh wait...
I believe the Dems want to pull Biden out now for 2 basic reasons.
1. They are trying to set up a moral equivalency - get Biden thrown out and say that he shouldn’t serve in office again, and then apply the same rule to their sham accusations against Trump’s Mar A Lago documents. They aren’t the same situation (President can declassify and VP cannot) but basically they’ll use this to try to bar Trump from 2024.
2. Biden has always been a stoopid puppet, and now Jim Jordan is leading an investigation against him for his crimes in the Ukraine. By giving Biden lines to say, like “I’ll have you know the garage was LOCKED” , Biden’s handlers can set up an incompetence defense for Biden, to claim he is unfit to stand trial. At the same time, they use the 25th Amendment to pull him down and put in a puppet of their choice. While it may initially be Kamala, I believe Gavin Newsom is being groomed for that slot.
sidenote: Given how gaff prone Biden is, I don’t believe his handlers just left him to decide how to respond to questions about the documents.
Yup it is pretty disgusting what you do FRiend. I hope your bosses are pleased.
I see you joined up the same day as another eager Comrade. Nice you have someone with whom to share the propaganda work. You folks are pretty easy to identify. SHAME ON YOU!!!
This we know.
They cheer for the deaths of more Ukrainians.
Blood on their hands. Warmongers.
Thank you.
Much obliged. Just a little janitorial duty here, trying to take out the trash.
Delusional.
Understand the West’s objective and Merkel’s admission in the Minsk accord.
