ARVN - Collapsed.  Iraqi Army post 2003 invasion - Collapsed.  Afghan Army - Collapsed.

The miserable track record of US trained and equipped standing armies carries on, but #neocon/#neocongE calls for more

We could probably give Taiwan a nuke and end the whole war before it starts.
Have you ever heard of the Cuban Missile Crisis?

Why did we do what we did (and still do) to Cuba?

If the rumors turn out to be true, and the Chines  put a military base in Cuba?  What is the reaction going to be?

The lesson is to keep it secret until it arrives.

I don’t think it makes a ton of sense at this point to throw more weapons in to modern day Verdun.  What is the point? There is no Ukrainian offensive to speak of so reclaiming land inch by inch at the cost of tens of thousands of people is definitely not rational behavior we should be encouraging. But even if we wanted to, where are the shells? Maybe we can buy some shells from North Korea?

As far as US foreign policy credibility goes, this is a pretty funny gambit.

NATO official says comment on Ukraine ceding land to gain membership was 'mistake' https://www.cnbc.com/2023/08/16/nato-official-dials-back-comment-on-ukraine-ceding-land-to-gain-membership-.html?__source=iosappshare%7Ccom.apple.UIKit.activity.CopyToPasteboard

Of course he was forced to apologize and Ukraine still maintains that they will not stop until even Crimea is back under Ukrainian control. But normal people can dismiss this as fantasy and start the hard work of finding an end to this conflict. The idea that NATO should go to war with Russia to liberate Crimea is of course dismissed out of hand when said plainly, but that is Ukraines position. Until we can dispense with this kind of talk I don’t see how any further steps can be taken to bring Ukraine in to NATO.

I agree. I don’t think this is a good example of that though.

The only info that #blogkaren wants on the war in Ukraine is the information that's filtered through the same people who told us the Afghan Army was going to stand up to the Taliban and that Hunter Biden's laptop was a "classic Russian intelligence operation" aka the professional liars.

I would like you to know that it makes me smile and chuckle a little bit every time you use your nickname for me  :D

Working to end the conflict and helping to keep Ukraine well supplied are not mutually exclusive.
