So after well over a year of hearing Europe has to do more Europe might do more.
The hilarity is those that said Europe should do more are now complaining about Europe maybe doing more.

I think the real problem are the Russian troops on the ground in Ukraine.  Not British trainers working way in the rear area.

Good for them. This is a European problem and it's about time they step up and start doing something about it. Now we can stop sending cash to pay for Ukrainian pensions and government salaries and we can focus on the problems in our own country.

The UK has consistently played the role of the washed-up, "has been" player who has less to lose, and is willing to take greater risks for the grand prize of dragging the US into the conflict. I guess considering that Russia is the main player in this event, and the UK has taken this yap-dog role, Russia won the Great Game of the 1800s.

What? Not sure what you're talking about.

Anyway, It was a win for Americans today that Ukraine aid was stripped from the CR. Finally, for once, Congress is doing the will of the people. Let's see how McConnell and Biden handle it.

I would be surprised if there are any less than 5,000 Americans INSIDE Ukraine, in some sort of military role.  GI's, fighting contractors (Blackwater), private security, logistics contractors, federal employees, IT contractors, CIA, communications contractors...
I would also be surprised if anyone really knew exactly how many Americans were there.  

The US has admitted there are some deployed.  So if some Americans are killed, they'll just say: "Yeah, those were the guys we told you were there. They were killed in a training exercise."

Serious question, is there such a thing as observers any more? In earlier conflicts (pre-WWI or WWII) non-involved parties would send officers to observe one or both sides.

Has the nature of war changed to the point that it's not feasible? With accurate deep strike capabilities it's more dangerous I would assume so a rando just hanging around could lead to more incidents?

It would seem sending observers would put some .mil folks right where they need to be to see what's happening.

Russia subjugating its neighbors over regional territory disputes isn't an american problem. The only good reason to be involved in the conflict is if you have a few billion dollars to launder while at the same time hooking your friends companies up with contracts for goods and services.

The unfulfilled Cold War fantasies of senile survivalists.

They believed the Russians were going to invade the world since they were born… but then the Soviet Union collapsed and they never got to have their fight.

So now some piddly ass Eastern European border dispute is their way of living vicariously. It’s just like that GI Joe doll they got when they were little except it’s real this time!

It’s a side effect of an aging population. Nobody who would actually have to go fight in WWIII over the inconsequential borders of shithole countries gives a damn about this fight.

There isn’t even an ideological goal. It’s just “aggression”- while ignoring that the national pastime of all those countries is border disputes and ethnic cleansing.

We have baseball and apple pie, they have different plots of shit dirt tied up in some 1000 year struggle over… which Slav squats better? I dunno. I also don’t care. They do genocides and piddly wars as a weekend hobby.

We should stop interfering and appropriating their culture.
