“Before this week is up, we’ll be deploying a battalion… to the Ukraine to train Ukrainian forces for the fight that’s taking place,” stated US 173rd Airborne Brigade Commander Colonel Michael Foster said at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, DC on Monday. Despite earlier warnings from Russia (and claims that NATO had not agreed to any such foreign ‘boots on the ground’ action’), Sputnik News reports, Foster added, “what we’ve got laid out is six United States companies that will be training six Ukrainian companies throughout the summer.”
This comes a week after PM David Cameron confirmed Britain will be sending 75 military personnel to help combat Russian military aggression.
Despite earlier reports from Russia’s NATO envoy that, as TASS reports,
NATO has taken no decisions on sending British or any other instructors to Ukraine, Russia’s Ambassador to the North Atlantic Alliance Alexander Grushko said on Monday.
“NATO has taken no decisions on sending instructors,” he told the Rossiya 24 television channel. “NATO is implementing the decisions that were taken at the political level at the Wales summit in September 2014.”
Moscow will take all measures, including military-technical, to neutralize possible threat from NATO presence in Ukraine, he added.
It seems it is happening, as Sputnik News reports,
The United States will deploy personnel by the end of this week to train the Ukrainian national guard, US 173rd Airborne Brigade Commander Colonel Michael Foster said at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, DC on Monday.
“Before this week is up, we’ll be deploying a battalion minus… to the Ukraine to train Ukrainian forces for the fight that’s taking place,” Foster stated. “What we’ve got laid out is six United States companies that will be training six Ukrainian companies throughout the summer.”
…
The current plan is for US forces to stay six months, he said, and noted there have been discussions about how to increase the duration and the scope of the training mission.
The current channels for military training set up between Ukraine and the United States would not be used for transferring defensive lethal aid if the United States decided to provide arms to Ukraine, Foster told Sputnik on Monday.
“It would go through something separate… We would not funnel the lethal aid or arms through that [training] event, we would use a secondary method for that,” Foster said, adding that a completely separate process is preferable.

Here is the full interview with Colonel Foster: “If Russia will invade Ukraine, why would we not think they will invade the US next?”
At 14:45, Colonel Foster discusses the deployment of US troops to Ukraine…

Of course, we already knew American military boots were on the ground in east Ukraine…
But this seems like a direct aim at Putin after the war-mongery rhetoric this morning:
I read this three weeks ago-
“A stunning new report prepared by the Ministry of Defense (MoD) circulating in the Kremlin today states that the Obama regime has “effectively abandoned” at least 150 US troops embedded with over Ukrainian 5,000 forces in the rebel surrounded town of Debaltseve in eastern Ukraine and left by Kiev’s government to die.
According to this report, the US troops currently under rebel siege are an ad hoc group of American Special Forces belonging to the Vicenza, Italy-based 173rd Airborne Brigade, CIA Special Activities Division (SAD) troops, and elite mercenaries from the notorious US private security firm Academi (formerly known as Blackwater).”
WDIM is a known Russian propaganda website, but they seem to have nailed the unit in advance of this release.
Well … that’s EXCITING news!
Isn’t that how Vietnam got started? Send over some “advisers” to “train” the dumbasses. Inevitably, some shit happens and some “advisers” die. Oh shit, gotta avenge those deaths!! We came in peace … and they killed us!! Send moar tanks! Send moar everything!!
O’Nigger may very well poke the Russian Bear and get hisself a nice big fucking war before the end of his term … adding yet another stunning success to his “legacy”.
HSF-no man left behind….unless the military needs ot cover up a lie..
Moorer, who as top legal council to the official investigation is in a position to know, agrees that Israel intended to sink the USS Liberty and blame Egypt for it, thus dragging the United States into a war on Israel’s behalf. This seems to be a common trick of Israel. Starting with the Lavon affair, through the USS Liberty, to the fake radio transmitter that tricked Reagan into attacking Libya, to potentially 9-11 itself, Israel’s game is to frame Arabs and set them up as targets for the United States.
The official US investigation is discredited. And with it, every claim of innocence for Israel that relied on the official investigation as a source.
The real question facing the American people is why the US Government seems more concerned with protecting Israel after they are caught playing these dirty tricks, rather than doing something to convince Israel not to kill any more Americans.
“Evidence linking these Israelis to 9/11 is classified. I cannot tell you about evidence that has been gathered. It’s classified information.” — US official quoted in Carl Cameron’s Fox News report on the Israeli spy ring and its connections to 9-11.http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/ussliberty.html
Well, I have been expecting this. It’s all fun and games til the Russians and possibly the Chinese bring this to our doorstep. Better start digging a hole to crawl into.
Obamneys raw -assed recruits headed for the Ukraine will rally around a new standard ….go LBGT!

Thank god Obama is not a warmonger like that evil Busch guy. Oh what was that you were saying, never mind.

Amen Flash: Vietnam, Iraq, Libya, Syria etc Deja vu. The first martyrs are called “Trigger Troops” because they are supposed to trigger public support for the desired war. Funny that the US went to war with Yugoslavia to free the various ethnic groups from Milosevic Now the US is at war in Ukraine to prevent the Donbass citizens (over 50% speak Russian) from gaining freedom from the “Nazi” junta in Kiev. Of course, the US NEOCON wizzards behind the curtains wanted the gold (which they got) and also the farmland, mineral resources and a gas pipeline, another key geographical area for another NATO country, and to stick a spear into Putins’ side. Like all the other recent spilling of US blood, it will end badly.
T4C…..My exact thought when I read that.
What the criminal gang in power think they can shove down America’s throat. And they’re RIGHT! Fred Reed pointed out the overwhelming stupidity of the voting masses so well yesterday. The lies and deception coming from DC in just about all matters takes ones breath away.
I am thoroughly alarmed with the behavior of our govt. These foreign campaigns by the US seem to have become nothing but the plundering of the world, just like the Romans did to maintain their wealth, but instead of carrying the booty home we extract it by way of having the reserve currency. We can print dollars with no adverse impact, import others resources and labors, and pay for it with ….nothing, and the dollar stays strong.
The masters do everything in their power to muddy the waters, but it still doesn’t take much reading between the lines to see that US foreign policy revolves around preserving the dollars reserve status. But of course it would, for when the dollar collapses so will American society.
I’m hoping we don’t have troops fighting in the Ukraine. What a disaster that could turn into.
Didn’t China just kind of say … in diplomacy-speak, of course … that the USA!USA!USA! should stay the fuck out of Ukraine?
I LOVE AMURRRRICA!!
Not only are we willing to take on a country with just as many nukes as us (if not more) …….. but we’re also willing to take on a country with 1.3 Billion people!
WE GOT REAL BRASS CAHONES!!!!
Some nice music … but, basically the Chinks are a bunch of pussies. We can take them out in a month, or less.

You funny guy Stuckysan,
I do not to want to fucking fight either country. War is not for the faint of heart.
“It’s often been observed that the first casualty of war is the truth. But that’s a lie, too, in its way. The reality is that, for most wars to begin, the truth has to have been sacrificed a long time in advance.”

In the video Stucky posted at 1:06-
At 1:25- 1:42 and at 1:58- 203 and then a clear shot at 7:54, you’ll see they have rifles with suppressors. That’s not for conventional warfare. Are they sub-sonic? Are they Special Forces? So what does that indicate? Anyone want to comment on that?
Every time i hear McCain speak, he says stupid shit like he wants a war really bad. Our government is full of psychopaths like him. The media just play right along with no questioning anything said.
Our government is so bad i almost support Putin.
All the crap i keep seeing and hearing makes me desiring a collapse and reset.Almost anything to get rid of these turds we have running things.
I wonder if the masters have weighed the chances of being on the wrong side of a David and Goliath moment with the Russians and others. Doubtful being the feeling of smugness behind our mighty military. But possible. The US certainly fits the bill of the overfed, complacent giant just ripe for a fall.
Who’s the “aggressor” now? This bullshit has to stop, otherwise it’s nuclear WWIII.
All I wanted to say was, did anyone notice the goosesteping soldiers?
That’s all I wanted to point out.Goosestepping soldiers.
Goosestepping is UN-Natural

Who Could think this is going to turn out well?
