U.S. Troops In Ukraine

[JohnyMac]

I have been hearing rumors that U.S. SF are in Ukraine supporting Ukraine's fight against Russia. I do not doubt this as it is the Green Berets job to coach and train insurgents. Then I ran across and article over at  Trending Politics that claims that "The military unit [in Ukraine] is JSOC?s Advance Force Operations, including members of Delta Force and SEAL Team 6.?

I call this BS on this report as SEAL Team 2 is assigned to the European theater, and Delta force is used not for coaching and training assignments - They are door kickers and trigger pullers.

Be careful believing what you are being fed by the media.

There is so much BS out there, so I don't take anything at face value. I saw a whole TV show about how SEAL TEAM 6 was created. They named it that so our enemies would think there was more than one. They actually have created several more teams now. When we see movies that show the Seal Teams they always show them as no more than a dozen troops. Bwahahahaha...... There are a Hell of a lot more people in Seal Team 6 than that. One of my friends is close friends with a guy who was or is part of Seal Team 6. You wouldn't believe some of the things those guys know about that is going on behind the scenes. The closest thing that I've heard from the News Media is that it was reported that there were 150 "ADVISORS" in Ukraine and then less than a day later it was reported that there were about 300 "ADVISORS" there. Who the Hell knows what the truth is. Up until now, I've had no idea when the SHTF would happen but right now I feel that 2022 is the year that it will happen. There is just too much nasty stuff happening for something to not happen this year.

"There is just too much nasty stuff happening for something to not happen this year."

Medically, there are two options that I know of when a "boil" presents itself.
1) lance, drain, apply topical antibiotics, bandage against environmental exposure/mechanical irritation, (squamous cells will hopefully take care of the rest, thank you very much)
2) let the infection resolve itself without interrupting the patent skin layers (perhaps adding in some ingested prophylactic antibiotics).

3) Prep like your life (and those you _choose_ to gift responsibility over) like you've never Prepped before.

Events are accelerating.

I honestly hope we have advisors over there. And boots on the ground analysts.  We need to assess true Soviet, umm excuse me, Russian Nationalist abilities, while realizing that like in every war, they arent dumb and are learning from their mistakes. To make a simplistic comparison, in role-playing game terms, they are leveling the survivors.

I would be shocked if there were not Green Berets there as advisors, coaches, and trainers. I would be shocked if there were SEAL teams or Delta in Ukraine. Each SF group offers a different skill set and specialty.

I dont look at it as learning from mistakes as much as intentionally testing the actions and reactions of everyone involved
