Well, let those other countries handle it.But not militarily but they are to other countries. They are also actively working to create divisions in our cities and towns (still out fault for falling for it and turning stupid). They do not want a successful USA
I don't know why you see the US and our allies as weak or can be taken advantage of. Russia issued demands fully expecting the West to make concessions. I believe Putin was surprised when It did not happen. We held firm. Now Putin is faced with the possibility of a prolonged and very expensive invasion which he does not really want. Gen Milley has warned his Russian counterpart that if they invade they can expect to face an Afghanistan like situation. And now Putin is hearing rumblings about Finland and Sweden looking to NATO for security in view of Russias possible invasion of its neighbors again. No, the West is playing this one right.He’s doing what he should be doing. Taking advantage of a weak rival while he can.
The program has involved “very specific training on skills that would enhance” the Ukrainians’ “ability to push back against the Russians,” said the former senior intelligence official.
The training, which has included “tactical stuff,” is “going to start looking pretty offensive if Russians invade Ukraine,” said the former official.
One person familiar with the program put it more bluntly. “The United States is training an insurgency,” said a former CIA official, adding that the program has taught the Ukrainians how “to kill Russians.”
CIA-trained Ukrainian paramilitaries may take central role if Russia invades
The article goes into a lot more and is a pretty interesting read. Sounds like the CIA is preparing a Gladio stay behind force to resist any Russian occupation.
If the Russians launch a new invasion, “there’s going to be people who make their life miserable,” said the former senior intelligence official. The CIA-trained paramilitaries “will organize the resistance” using the specialized training they’ve received.
