Shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. All this hysteria over a bunch of made of drama that can’t legally happen anyways. “Oh Noes I don’t want muh childrun dying for Ukraine globohomo biolabs! But what about muh fentynal killing 5 million Americans a month! Shopping sprees!” It’s not happening unless russia rolls troops in to Poland at a minimum. There’s no secret way to make Ukraine a member of nato and then attack russia for attacking a new nato member. Ain’t happening

For all intents and purposes, they pretty much already are without “officially”crossing the line to all out WWIII.  Either way, I think WWIII will switch from covert to overt sometime this year with whatever outcome that makes it appear as if it was Russia who escalated things.

What is covert about the assistance being given to Ukraine? Surely you aren’t suggesting that NATO covertly has boots on the ground fighting inside UA. If Russia has THAT big of a problem with one of their enemies being gifted large amounts of weapons and trucks and other supplies via lend lease, they’re awfully hypocritical since they were once the beneficiaries of the same thing. And then turned around and sent US pow’s to Siberia, and during Korea and Vietnam “not so covertly” flew planes and killed US servicemen

Look for the collapse of the Kievan Government and a military coup that ousts Zelensky in the next 6 weeks.

A partitioned strip of Rump Ukriane along the Polish border with Lviv as it's capital is about the best the NAFO Dog's can hope for at this point.

101st along Romania/Ukraine border
Numerous gas pipelines blowing up
Numerous air traffic control problems in US/North America and even UK
Numerous power transformer attacks in the US

I'd say that someone like Kissinger pushing this publicly is an effort to push the Overton Window towards security guarantees on the level of Article 5 for Ukraine likely backed by the US.

Like the rest of this, its a half baked policy that has had no real public debate on costs and benefits, just a demand of the same people who brought us the last 25 years of foreign policy misadventure to trust them one more time, as we bring on a potential economy and security drain many times the size of the Israeli one.

Most of the names operations have public available info because everything has to ultimately get paid for by Congress, so everything has to be justified and signed off up thru CoC just like when the Obama White House micromanaged down to tactical operations. I got pulled to the side by a Brigade staff Major who explained to me to ‘follow the money’. Besides knowing how to do Op orders you also gotta know how to submit awards, show private snuffy how to read an LES, wrote OERs or NCOERs. Even down at platoon and company level admin is an integral headache. I’ve done my share dealing with 1SG, XO and Supply Sergeants

For all intents and purposes, they pretty much already are without “officially”crossing the line to all out WWIII.  Either way, I think WWIII will switch from covert to overt sometime this year with whatever outcome that makes it appear as if it was Russia who escalated things.



What is covert about the assistance being given to Ukraine? Surely you aren’t suggesting that NATO covertly has boots on the ground fighting inside UA. If Russia has THAT big of a problem with one of their enemies being gifted large amounts of weapons and trucks and other supplies via lend lease, they’re awfully hypocritical since they were once the beneficiaries of the same thing. And then turned around and sent US pow’s to Siberia, and during Korea and Vietnam “not so covertly” flew planes and killed US servicemen


101st along Romania/Ukraine border
Numerous gas pipelines blowing up
Numerous air traffic control problems in US/North America and even UK
Numerous power transformer attacks in the US

Sounds like covert WWIII in full swing on both sides to me.


The 101st at a NATO country not firing shots in anger is evidence of a covert WWIII?  


What are they doing there, then?  Observing?


Headquarters, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) and the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, will support the U.S. Army V Corps' mission to reinforce NATO’s eastern flank and engage in multinational exercises with partners across the European continent in order to reassure allies and deter further Russian aggression.


What, specifically, do you believe they are doing that is WWIII?


NATO, you say?  Thanks for making my point.


So what are they actually doing in the covert WWIII?


Well, If I knew, it would no longer be covert, now would it?

I learned the hard way to monitor whether theater commanders authorize and get approval for pay. You could be in Egypt doing Bright Star or MFO and get 0 or be in Egypt under a named operation and get $225 https://www.dfas.mil/militarymembers/payentitlements/Pay-Tables/IDP-Areas/

So, they are danger close to draw NATO into the conflict in case of a NATO casualty?

If a missile can go astray into Poland, then they are sure as hell in harm’s way.

Not getting paid for that so as far as DOD is concerned nope. Guys in Korea got fucked over far worse, I posted that info about Korea in another thread. What you’re thinking of is what my  Assistant Operations and Intelligence Sergeant on ODA 912 did back in the 80s this being an example from 7th group https://valor.militarytimes.com/hero/104527
