Kyiv, Ukraine--The Biden administration should allow the Pentagon to deploy U.S. military advisers to Ukraine to help coordinate the billions of dollars of arms flowing into the country and to keep better tabs on the weapons, members of a bipartisan congressional delegation visiting Kyiv said Saturday.
"I think we should do more," Rep. Michael Waltz, R-Fla., the first Green Beret elected to Congress, told Fox News after meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
"That said," Waltz continued, "it should come with appropriate safeguards, with appropriate oversight and the only way we can get that oversight is to actually have some advisors in Ukraine helping their military with the planning and logistics."

Hello Vietnam
How much air can you cram into that balloon before it bursts?
I think I saw this movie. It didn’t end well.
The better plan is for the CIA to kill Zelensky, let the country devolve into chaos and let the Russians clean up the mess. If that is what has to happen to get us out of Ukraine for good, so be it.
Been there. Done that. Got the body bag.
We who remember the Vietnam war know that “advisers” is code for boots on the ground.
Can’t they use You Tube videos. //sarc
Xiden channeling his inner LBJ?
Yep. We’ve seen this movie before.
Actually Ike was the one who first sent advisers there.
“We who remember the Vietnam war know that “advisers” is code for boots on the ground.”
I think everyone is floating trial balloons to get some feedback on what public stances to take for the midterms. I don’t think this one will sell well. My first take was, “Uhm...no.”
With the midterms 3.5 months away, this Republican dope illustrates why he is a proud member of the Stupid Party.
There is nothing wrong with sending U.S. military advisers to Ukraine. But of course they’ll need a base of operations. And that base must be protected. So we’ll have to send in air support and artillery units as well. And infantry units to secure the area around the base.
Oh, wait. I’ve seen this movie before. And it didn’t end so well. I guess it’s not such a good idea after all.
NO US TROOPS!!!!!
In 1960?
Suspect US military advisors are already there manning those sophisticated artillery systems and the targeting equipment. They have been far too effective to be crewed by hastily trained Ukrainians,
“bipartisan congressional delegation”
High potential for doing something that is both stupid AND evil. Potential for such a delegation recommending something that is good or smart is about zero.
