We have confirmed that there are 14 US Special Forces troops on the ground in Ukraine. The US had to admit that was the case after the stolen classified information was released.

I am stating the obvious based on previous firsthand experience in other similar cases. I really don’t care if you believe me or not.

You are simply making up an elaborate fantasy, the claim is that 14 people are in Ukraine, this thread says at the embassy, but you have to write an adventure novel for them.

It’s obvious they have not read the intel, which specifically stated what you said.

Yeah, and that is why we are in an undeclared war.

We have military guys hanging out in nearly every armed conflict we have any interest in, acting in various capacities (observing, advising, and so on), sometimes going in as grey suitcases, also British SAS (and I’ve no doubt SAS is busy in Ukraine).

No one is surprised when we have them in Libya, Yemen, etc., why doubt we have them in Ukraine?

We’ve officially had our troops in Libya, and no one hollered about that:

“A small contingent of American troops has been in Libya in recent years helping local forces combat Islamic State and al-Qaida militants, as well as protecting diplomatic facilities.”

I just looked at those secret papers and they don’t say Special Forces are in Ukraine.

They say that 14 Special Operations forces are in Ukraine.

How did all this get turned into Green Berets?

And the Chinese spy balloon was not transmitting data real time back to China. How many times has the Biden foreign policy team lied to us? I am amazed how gullible you are when it comes to Biden, Blinken, Nuland, Sullivan, Milley,and Austin.

Hell, they have trumpeted the Afghan debacle as a triump. They gaslight us all the time.

“Uh, I was with the Green Berets, Special Unit Battalions... Commando Airborne Tactics... Specialist Tactics, uh, Unit Battalion. Yeah, it was real hush hush. I was Agent Orange. That was my name, Agent Orange. Special Agent Orange, that was me.”

“”We have confirmed that there are 14 US Special Forces troops on the ground in Ukraine. “”

Will you show me the quote that 14 Green Berets are in Ukraine?

“We aren’t in any war.”

Go try to blow that BS up someone else’s skirt. If my tax dollars are going towards a war then we are at war.

PERIOD.

“”And the Chinese spy balloon was not transmitting data real time back to China.””

That is what Colonel Douglas Macgregor says, he says all that hysteria was silly.

We aren’t in a war until we show up where the war is and start killing and dying on the battlefield.

Sending aid to a country does not mean you are at war or else Japan is also at war with Russia, along with dozens of other countries.

Another impeachable/criminal offense for the list. Deploying Special Operations without Congressional Oversight (not that those spineless, globalist twerps would have done anything about it even if they were briefed.)

lol, tell that to the cold war...

“Sending aid to a country does not mean you are at war.”

YES it does... It absolutely does. Just like Iran aiding Russia.

The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM or SOCOM) is the unified combatant command charged with overseeing the various special operations component commands of the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Air Force of the United States Armed Forces. The command is part of the Department of Defense and is the only unified combatant command created by an Act of Congress. USSOCOM is headquartered at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida.

USSOCOM is involved with clandestine activity, such as direct action, special reconnaissance, counter-terrorism, foreign internal defense, unconventional warfare, psychological warfare, civil affairs, and counter-narcotics operations. Each branch has a distinct Special Operations Command that is capable of running its own operations, but when the different special operations forces need to work together for an operation, USSOCOM becomes the joint component command of the operation, instead of a SOC of a specific branch.

On 1 December 1989, the United States Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) activated as the 16th major Army command. These special operations forces have been America’s spearhead for unconventional warfare for more than 40 years. USASOC commands such units as the well known Special Forces (SF, or the “Green Berets”), the Rangers, and such relatively unknown units as two psychological operations groups, a special aviation regiment, a civil affairs brigade, and a special sustainment brigade. These are one of the USSOCOM’s main weapons for waging unconventional warfare and counter-insurgency. The significance of these units is emphasized as conventional conflicts are becoming less prevalent as insurgent and guerrilla warfare increases.
