There’s no reason for Special Forces soldiers to be in the field in Ukraine. They’re instructors, and tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers have already been trained in countries outside of Ukraine including our country.
Civilian journalists often write “special forces” for the purpose of sensationalizing their articles. It’s often hype, but they know that civilian readers will lap it up, just as they do entertainment fiction portraying our military forces as sinister people perpetrating vast conspiracies against us. Zombies from evil military experiments, anyone?
Congress wants equipment be accounted for in Ukraine, and that’s what they’re getting, probably with military personnel other than special forces.
Considering all the woke from the top down stuff seemingly going on we should be glad any potential “extra special forces” (including the surgeon misgenderederal) aren’t there too.
Talk about humiliating....
BS.
Biden and Victoria got caught red handed deploying US Special Ops in a Fvcking War Zone.
Nobody in our so-called Government approved this.
Biden got caught lying to Americans while deploying our SF there and even though you may not think anything bad about that the rest of us who want no part of the endless Wars want to have our country in a War with Russia.
My point is that they are attached to the Embassy, issued dip passports, and then work with the host government at sites outside the Embassy premises, which are just a home base. These special forces troops are integrated with the Ukrainian forces acting as liaison with them.
We know that the US is providing real time intelligence to the Ukrainians to target Russian forces using our satellite imagery and signal info. Our Special Forces are operating and maintaining equipment to provide the Intel. I would also posit that US contractors, many former military, are in-country to provide technical assistance. The 50 NATO/US Special Forces contingent is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to foreign assistance on the ground. I doubt any are in direct combat roles yet.
You are naive if you believe the US presence is just training Ukrainians. My experience as a foreign service officer for 28 years and 8 years as a naval officer inform my opinions. My concern is that the incompetent Biden team will raise the ante on our involvement as it becomes more apparent that the Ukrainians are losing badly. Poland is already threatening to send troops to Ukraine if it appears the Russians are taking over Ukraine.
