Tell me you don't see a problem with that.....
Not enough.
Let the Russians worry about the Russians. All former soviet Russians to me. We have way to many of our own problems here and in the ME.
It is about time... at least it is a start in helping Ukraine maintain its freedom and in helping Ukraine defend itself from Russia.
Well I hope we have better luck than training the Iraqi Army. Seems like all they know how to do is run away from a fight.
Tell me you don't see a problem with that.....
Why are we there at all? Shouldn’t Europe step up and handle the problem on its “border?”
The article says they will be training three “national guard” battalions. But it didn’t name them. Is it one of the Nazi maidan militias, or actual Ukrainian army?
Sick to think of Americans involved with azov or others under the wolfsangel symbol.
As Sen. Cruz says, arm and help the Ukrainians as much as we can.
Are the 300 Spartans? I don’t like how that ended.
From their perspective:
The Kremlin said on Friday the arrival of about 300 U.S. paratroopers in Ukraine to train Kiev’s National Guard could destabilize the situation in the east of the country, where pro-Russian separatists are fighting Ukrainian government forces.
“The participation of instructors or specialists from third countries on Ukrainian territory, where the domestic Ukrainian conflict is unresolved ... could destabilize the situation,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters in Moscow during a conference call.

A good start.
Will they be allowed to carry loaded weapons?
If so will it be live ammunition or blanks?
Will they be under the “authority of UN troops?
How many months before Obama cuts back on their supplies and more or less abandons them??
These 300 are likely Obama’s hand selected agent provocateurs.
That would not surprise me in the least because ISIS is supported by the Saudi Royal family. Who do you think is buying ISIS’s oil?
They will likly send intel to ISIS, not fake intel, real time intel. Keep the Iranians at bay.
