“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.”

Yeah, and on a side note, I remember the Nazis invading and occupying the Northern and Eastern regions of Czechoslovakia under the pretense of "protecting German speakers" too...
No similarities to Russia invading Ukraine to "protect Russian speakers", of course.

funny as I don't remember Hitler having 7000 nuclear bombs , nor do I remember UK or France having there own nuclear deterrence to prevent Hitler from steam rolling across Europe.
MAD makes 1930's Germany comparisons irrelevant.
The Ukraine situation is more like the USSR invasion of Hungary.
Russia may be in the wrong.
But they can have these border states as I don't want want to end up as atoms floating up a mushroom cloud.
Better a live coward that allows Ukraine to fall than radioactive dust.
