The U.S. is considering sending additional military advisers to the embassy in Kyiv, the latest show of American commitment to Ukraine as Russia appears to be gaining momentum in the two-year conflict.

The advisers would not be in a combat role, but rather would advise and support the Ukrainian government and military, according to Pentagon spokesperson Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder.

Ryder declined to discuss specific numbers of personnel “for operational security and force protection reasons.”

Man, I woke up this morning, and after adjusting my morning wood, I read a post by Northernprovisions on the gram. Dude said something that really hit me. We don't really have a global economy any more, and mainly rely on the MIC. I've really put GDP analyses at the back end of my noggin, but his statement has to have some merit. Especially considering how much inflation has outpaced it.

Pretty much. I was in high school in 1964 and one of my teachers was a retired WW2 admiral. His son was a green beret and was an “advisor” supposedly not in combat…..however he REALLY was in the combat field teaching south Vietnamese troops how to kill people and destroy things.

There are only two kinds of people left in The Ukraine. Grifters, which make up the greatest number. They party all night in Kiev. And the ones who were not smart enough, or rich enough to get out.

Neither of these groups can operate a Patriot battery. Just who do you think is running those systems?
