What are U.S. troops doing in Ukraine? From Daniel McAdams at lewrockwell.com:
According to a new article in the Pentagon-friendly Military Times, “US troops in Ukraine can now earn hazard pay.”
“Hang on a second,” you might say. “We don’t have any US troops in Ukraine! That would mean US troops are fighting against Russia!”
Well, you might want to sit down. While we were being treated to Congressional hearings on aliens and other nonsense, the neocons pushing WWIII have been busy as bees at sucking us further into war with Russia.
The article continues:
The Pentagon has authorized additional hazard pay for US troops serving in Ukraine, a defense official confirmed Thursday.
The bonus, known as imminent danger pay, is offered to troops who serve in areas where they could be harmed by hostile fire or mines, insurrection, civil war or terrorism.
Students of history understand that this is how the US war in Vietnam started. “Just a few advisors” soon became 58,000 dead Americans and a million dead Vietnamese – mostly civilians.
And…we lost.
Just like, a “little war against some uppity Afghan Muslims” became a 20 year, multi-trillion dollar war which…we also lost!
Who won? The military-industrial complex.
This time the stakes are higher. This time US troops are facing off against a formidable military force which is backed by the largest nuclear arsenal on earth. NATO has thrown in hundreds of billions of dollars and literally every non-nuclear weapon in its arsenal and still it is losing its proxy war against Russia.
Read that it was a whopping $7.50!
You can’t even get a patch at the PX for that.
Some are a little more equal to the regime and they will be in the rear with the gear, literally.
Pretend to be weak, so your enemy may grow arrogant.
