[REGNUM] Officers from the Armed Forces of the United States, Britain and Poland are directly involved in the battles in the Kharkiv direction, said a captured militant of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a video of whose testimony was published on October 17 by the RIA Novosti agency.

In particular, militant Viktor Berezhnoy, who was captured near the village of Berestovoye in the Kharkiv region, said that during his service in intelligence units, his group led at least five groups of foreign military personnel totaling about 100 people to specified areas.

In addition, he stated that he personally saw active officers of the Armed Forces of the United States, Britain and Poland in ranks from lieutenant to lieutenant colonel.

"If foreigners had not helped us, we would have disintegrated immediately. There are very few of us and we have a lot of inexperienced fighters," complained a captured militant of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

#14  I think NATO might be a paper tiger. Germany, France and others have turned their militaries into make work programs. They couldn't fight if they wanted to, and they don't want to. Plus I don't see this administration as good for anything but hand wringing. Putin could nuke the whole continent and we'd sit by and watch IMHO.

#13  Stalin did not attack NATO. Neither did Khrushchev, Brezhnev or Gorbachev. Those people were all ruthless, ambitious murderous thugs but they did not they did not attack NATO because they didn't want to get their asses kicked. If you think that Putin is cut from the same cloth, why would he be any different?

#9  Like it or not, if Russia isn't stopped in Ukraine the next stop is Poland, Moldova and the Baltic States. The Western Europe becomes their bitch. I'd far rather they were our bitch.

Bullshit.

If Putin attacks a NATO country, he will get a NATO response and justifiably so. He knows that. He won't do it.

But Ukraine is not a NATO country nor should it be. Ukraine is not Poland. Donbas is not the Sudetenland. Putin is not Hitler. Crimea was Russian centuries before it was Ukrainian and even then only on the map when it was all part of the Soviet Union and nobody thought it mattered. Asking Putin to give Crimea back would be like asking America to give Oklahoma back. It won't happen without a fight and America has no dog in that fight.

Joe Biden's primary responsibility is to the security of the American people. He ignores our security on our own border while risking that security in a part of the world where the American people have no interest and where Russians have a great interest. Biden is asking for trouble that we don't need. Biden should be impeached.

#8  No surprise that Zelensky's boys aren't winning this thing without a little help. I just don't wanna hear any moaning about Americans, Brits and Poles who get their butts blown off fighting somebody else's war. I don't like paying for it either.

#7  @Gerthudion

If Russia will not stop, why did Russia return territory to Georgia once Georgia stopped its belligerency in 2008?

Anyways, there's enough open source - Brooklyn and Cockney accents among UAF troops, English being spoken over comms, English classes for UAF troops - it does not take a leap of faith to come to this conclusion.

#6   They can’t even take Kyiv.

They gave up on taking Kiev ages ago. Now they’re going for turning the country into depopulated rubble as punishment for daring to try to escape Moscow’s embrace.

#5  ^ They can’t even take Kyiv. So tell us, genius, how they’re going to take over Europe?

This is complete insanity. Pull back from the brink

#2  If we don’t tap the brakes on our involvement we’ll be in a real live honest to goodness shooting war with Russia and its minions
Once that starts a nuke is almost inevitable
