Nice vague statement of reaffirmation of faith while ignoring contrary evidence you got there.

Feel free to keep your head in the sand.

Vice-versa. I already left a comment down below. You can keep pretending that it's always NATO, and that NATO tends to plot against NATO, and that NATO is responsible for everything. But, unfortunately, keeping your head in the sand on that there's actors other than NATO out there too only makes you blind to any proceedings when it is, in fact, not NATO.

You also forgot to ask yourself, who benefits. Because NATO is certainly not benefiting. So it can't be NATO.

P.S. In case you haven't noticed, the idea of joining NATO was the FIRST point Ze has publicly "conceded" during negotiations.

HereтАЩs the Florida Army National Guard February 10, in Ukraine.

No, DeSantis didnтАЩt send them there on his own.

Its been a regular rotation for years.

I repeat my question above: do you feel that the Ukrainian army should be trained only by Russians, who are already training the irredentist militias of Dombass, or that it should not be trained at all?

The Florida National Guard is, to say the least, probably not the best the US Army can offer when it comes to training. This would rather confirm that there was no clear will to provide the finest training and equipment to the Ukrainian army.

I answered above, but actually ....

you seem to know nothing of the subject.

The NG are actually quite competent, usually have active duty time and go to the same training and schools as the regular forces.

They don't get as much time training as units in mass formations, at least in theory. In practice the difference is not too stark. Combat and other performance support the practical results, in some cases the combat or gunnery performance is superior as the Guard units are together for many years allowing better cohesion.

In measured performance the NG has often enough performed superior to Active duty units again due to cohesion and lack of disruption from constant rotations.

As trainers the NG are often preferred, they usually have real world civilian jobs and lives which allow the NG to relate better to others outside the military. They also often have civilian job experience that is valuable technically and practically in training and administration. Often enough they are police IRL which in America means they are excellent at being diplomatic and tactful, patient.

So while we have not sent 'the best' in terms of whatever movie is playing in the head, we did send the best at training.

However you insolent whiner, who TF entitled you to 'be sent our best?' You think you're ordering room service here?

If you don't like the NG or anything about the USA or US MIL, just leave a negative rating on Yelp, Biatch.

I'm sensing Polish here BTW, they are very, very entitled. Very.

Not even the Saudi's who DID buy our government act so entitled.
