NATO considers mission to train Ukraine’s troops in the country

“NATO allies are inching closer to sending troops into Ukraine to train Ukrainian forces, a move that would be another blurring of a previous red line and could draw the United States and Europe more directly into the war,” the newspaper wrote.

Journalists add that Ukraine lacks the resources to train its troops, and the situation on the battlefield has worsened due to the Russian offensives. Consequently, Ukrainian officials have asked their U.S. and NATO counterparts for help in training 150,000 soldiers closer to the front lines for quicker deployment.

The United States refused to send even military advisers to Ukraine urges its NATO allies to follow suit. At the same time, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Charles Brown thinks the decision to deploy military trainers is ultimately “inevitable.”

The article notes that moving training to Ukrainian territory, as military officials acknowledge, would allow U.S. instructors to gather real-time information about innovations happening battlefield, potentially improving their training programs.

What caused the downfall of the Roman Empire?

Its demise can be attributed to many factors, especially internal corruption, division, and outside invasion. As Rome grew in size and population, the rulers of Rome became very corrupt. Rather than serving the interests of the Empire, rulers, generals, and politicians became more concerned with protecting themselves.

Sound familiar? Our leaders have betrayed the people. The political elites have become disconnected from the people. They care more about special interests than the welfare of the people. 10 million invaders have crossed into our country in the past 3 years facilitated by the President. 100,000 Americans die from drugs annually. We have a $34 trillion national debt, which is increasing by one trillion dollars every 100 days. Social Security and Medicare represent an unfunded liability of over $100 trillion. We spent $4 trillion on Covid with at least $400 billion lost thru waste fraud, and abuse.

We spend more on defense than the next ten countries combined. We have spent five trillion dollars on wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Ukraine. The military-industrial complex enriches a few while the military is being hollowed out. Operational readiness is a problem. An unacceptable percentage of our planes and ships are not mission ready..

Our institutions have become politicized and weaponized. We have a two tier justice system and a surveillance state that theatens civil liberties. An unelected, bloated Administrative State wields unchecked power. Congress has become a cesspool of corruption with members amassing huge fortunes using insider information.

Diversity is not a strength. We are becoming increasingly divided along racial, linguistic, ethnic, and religious lines. Equity has replaced equal opportunity. The wealth gap has increased fueled by the demise of the middle class. Crime is rampant as we are no longer a nation of laws.

We are a nation in decline.
