WHAT IS FEARLESS GUARDIAN?
Fearless Guardian is the name given to the U.S. training and equipping of the National Guard of Ukraine under the Congress-approved Global Security Contingency Fund-Ukraine.
At the request of the Ukrainian government, approximately paratroopers from the U.S. Army Europe's 173rd Airborne Brigade are in Yavoriv, Ukraine training 300 soldiers from the newly-formed National Guard.
The training is focused at partnering at the battalion-level and below, building a professional and capable Ukrainian National Guard to defend Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
From July to October 2015, the international center for peacekeeping and security in Yavoriv district in Lviv region will host the Ukrainian-U.S. Saber Guardian/Rapid Trident 2015 exercises. The total number of participants will be up to 2,100 servicemen with weapons and military hardware. Namely, there will be up to 1,000 men from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, up to 500 men from the U.S. Armed Forces, and up to 600 from NATO member states and countries participating in the Partnership for Peace program.
LOL.

Regardless. If the US was carving off parts of it's neighbors territory I'd be advocating for someone to kick Obama's butt back to his own border just the same.
I don't even need him to take anybodies territory, as I advocate that on a daily basis.
The cover story now: the convoy will join the "Fearless Guardian".
Ukraine, U.S. may start joint war games
I voted for the nimrod, TWICE. What a fool I was.
I respected Putin for a long time, when he was actually making strides to be part of the international community. That respect has vanished.

Both Ukraine and Georgia applied for NATO membership.
Both were rejected.
Both were then attacked by Russia.

Nice job!
Why the convoy of US heavy trucks crossed the border in broad daylight? What is the "message"? Donbass is far away, this is the other end of (former) Ukraine.

Double standard? Not at all.If the US Annexed part of Mexico…

Can you provide some evidence of this because I can't find anything that states NATO rejected Membership applications from either Georgia or Ukraine?
All I could find was that Ukraine rejected to further their attempt to join NATO

WOW, The truth in a pro Russian thread lol. At least Georgia already had American troops training with the Georgian armed forces inside the country at the time, Georgia also had its best trained forces in Iraq at the time helping out the U.S. so we quickly shipped them home to see their loved ones and help kick Russia in the balls.
The real reason why Putin invaded Georgia was not because of anything Georgia did, it was because NATO assembled the largest Naval armada in history off the coast of north America for an exercise and then they all sailed in a group straight to Iran. Putin called NATOs bluff and WW3 was averted in the stands at the Olympics in China when Bush ordered the Armada to disband when Putin agreed to not take all of Georgia and push any troops toward the Turkish border. This is why the story came out from both sides that Georgia started it with Russia even though Russia had a few divisions parked on the incoming hi-ways for days before Georgia was blamed for shooting Artillery into South Ossetia.
Russia sent the whole dam Army base from St.Petersburg to Abkazsakaya before he sent one bullet into Georgia. They went under the excuse of an exercise but intell reports showed they left nothing behind, not one little thing which is not something anyone does for an exercise.

Putin invaded Ukraine and illegally occupies Crimea. Nothing is going to change that fact. Just as the OP has nothing to do with NATO.
According to who? Mr John Kerry the worlds policeman.

The heavily laden convoy of US military manufactured trucks at the Hungarian border with Ukraine were photographed just before crossing into Ukraine.
Just like the thread title states.
