Pentagon Confirms US Troops Are In Ukraine

Regardless of what the gov't is telling us about this escalation as a non-combat role, the Biden administration is putting the US military in harms way.

There is a small contingent of troops there to guard the Embassy (Marines) as usual and some military to monitor and track the more complex and expensive weapon systems we are providing.

@melbeacher The military is well known for mission creep.

@BizSuitStacy I doubt that will happen here. The Ukraines seem to be holding their own in battle.

@melbeacher I'd be willing to bet large sums of money this will continue to escalate slowly over time. All the military industrial complex needs is a foot in the door.

@BizSuitStacy I disagree. The Ukraines are more that capable of kicking the Russians asses out of their country on their own. Hopefully the war is over sooner rather than later. I personally think we should be training the Ukrainians and maintaining and repairing the more complex weapons system in country.

@melbeacher At the moment Ukraine can't even keep the lights on in Kiev.

@hippyjoe1955 If Starlink goes down, Ukraine is finished.

@melbeacher I beg to differ with you. When a couple of millions have migrated to the west that means as a nation they have no will to fight. Moreover, as a student of military history my conclusions is that Russia is planning to do with “those who are landing in ukraine for helping” the same treatment which it gave to the Germans in the WW.
Do you think Russia has taken this adventure without taking into stock its enemy’s potential?Don’t expect them to be dumb.
