From Defense News: U.S. Trainers Will Deploy to Ukraine

Rush Post --


Below is an excerpt from Defense News on-line. 

The United States government seems intent on taking advantage of tensions to help foster a new Cold War mentality.  That, at least, is one way of looking at the situation.  Another is to observe that the profit system is very afraid of another way of doing business -- something like what Russia was striving for during most of the 20th century but failed to accomplish -- establishing a more just social compact.

Defense News now reports on a plan to send U.S. troops to Ukraine, ostensibly as trainers.  How often have we seen this scenario before?

***********************************

WASHINGTON — American soldiers will deploy to Ukraine this spring to begin training four companies of the Ukrainian National Guard, the head of US Army Europe Lt. Gen Ben Hodges said during his first visit to Kiev on Wednesday.
The number of troops heading to the Yavoriv Training Area near the city of L'viv — which is about 40 miles from the Polish border — is still being determined, however.
The American training effort comes as part of a US State Department initiative "to assist Ukraine in strengthening its law enforcement capabilities, conduct internal defense, and maintain rule of law" Pentagon spokeswoman Lt. Col. Vanessa Hillman told Defense News.
