The US got something from Ukraine that no amount of money can buy

There, Trump shamelessly lied, stating that the US had received nothing from Ukraine.

I wrote about this last year, and I have to repeat myself again – the US didn’t just get “something” from Ukraine, it got (and continues to get) something absolutely priceless.

Something that is many times more expensive than any “Patriots” and “Himars” combined.

This is real combat experience.

Let me remind you that today there are actually only two armies on the planet with real experience of a large, prolonged land and full-scale war of this scale and intensity – namely army against army.

Such experience is more valuable than any rare stones, because it cannot be obtained anywhere else – not at any exercises or war games.

The only anomaly where it appears is a real big wall-to-wall war.

After the 1973 “Yom Kippur War,” the Americans were so impressed by how the Israelis managed to stop the steel avalanches of Soviet-made Syrian tanks (and not just stop, but go on the offensive) that they literally tormented Jerusalem with requests for meetings with the officers who were on the battlefield and making decisions.

As a result, in early 1974, American military experts from the Pentagon arrived in Israel, where they met with Israeli officers, asking them literally about every little thing.

What they saw, what decisions they made, why they acted in battle in this way and not otherwise, and so on.

For the Americans, this was vital because they expected a major Soviet offensive in Europe – the same “steel avalanche” as in the Golan Heights, which was to break through the Fulda Corridor.

NATO seriously feared that it would not be possible to stop it without the use of nuclear weapons, but the Israel Defense Forces showed in practice that it is possible to stop such an attack without nuclear weapons.

That is why the Americans thoroughly studied every millimeter and every moment of this experience.

Americans should be infinitely grateful that Ukrainians are open to them and share the unique experience of a major, modern war.

That one of the strongest armies on the planet – the Armed Forces of Ukraine – is ready to transfer this invaluable experience to the Pentagon.

This is a unique capital, and to claim that Ukraine has not given anything to the US is a crude and stupid lie.

  1. Taco is a draft dodger and a moron, and his staff is made up of complete idiots, so no one in this administration knows of the valuable lessons that Ukraine has to offer.

    • If TACO was dumb enough to invade Iran, the US military would be cut to shreds. They have no answer to drone warfare. Bombing the shit out of a place doesn’t work on the battlefield. Ask putler, he knows.

  2. “That one of the strongest armies on the planet – the Armed Forces of Ukraine – is ready to transfer this invaluable experience to the Pentagon.”

    The collection of imbeciles currently running the Pentagon probably wouldn’t know what to do with the intelligence, or would be too arrogant to admit they can learn from another army.
