Look, we're all good at something, the Lt.Col. is undoubtedly great at training soldiers and making capable warriors out of civilians, and you undoubtedly have something you're great at, playing Fortnite or making videos on TikTok, or maybe something else, where most of us would look to you as someone with some expertise!
Now the reason why I'm saying you're missing my point is that it just so happen that I also have a field where I have a great deal of experience, and I will even dare to call it expertise - you see, I deal with injuries, rehabilitation, and how to avoid them on a daily basis.
I also happen to live and work in a town with a garrison, and have first hand experience with what kind of injuries soldiers most often aquire, (and have several colleagues who's been deployed togheter with soldiers - add to this my own time in the Army and having several friends who made a long career out of it!)
As I mentioned in an earlier comment, the most common physical injuries soldiers who's been deployed come home with are back, knee, and ankles - not injuries from shrapnel or bullets!
But it's still enough to make them less effective in a fighting unit - and can sometimes end up being quite debilitating....
There is no way you can train ordinary civilians to a level where risks of these injuries are significantly reduced in such a short time span as there is to train the Ukrainian soldiers!
Now I fully understand that there isn't time to build them up to a decent level - they are needed in Ukraine!
And it is what it is!
However, the huge risk, and my concerns, comes when politicians starts the "oh, we can train soldiers in much shorter time span than we have been used to doing", and possibly decide to start reducing the training time of our soldiers.
The level we've been training our own soldiers to is already too low if we wanna reduce the risk of injuries significantly.
And while back pain, knee and ankle injuries sound quite mondaine, it's extremely costly and can easily end up causing early retirement.
Again, I stress, YES I'm aware, focusing enough on this part of training, is a luxury Ukraine can't afford - and the focus has to be on teaching them the most basic skills and I'm in no way trying to diminish the tremendous effort instructors are proving to train these soldiers!
It's an absolutely amazing job!!!
My only reason for voicing concerns is that if our politicians starts believing it's okay to spend shorter time training our own soldiers, then we need to stop them and remind them that there's actually more to it than just having the skills and being in "good shape"(as in condition).
We have to remember that certain things just take more time, and one of them is "building" the soldiers, and not just train them....

No, it's not true - FFS, even Gorbachev debunked this story.
There were talks between him and some American minister, but there were never any agreements on anything.
Part of this is because a single American, or even America as a whole, doesn't get to decide what the future politics of NATO will be.
This is one of the problems, you people never fully understood what NATO is, what it does, or how it functions.
It isn't "an extension of America" - it's 30, soon 32, individual sovereign countries participating voluntarily in a organization based on a treaty of alliance , and NATO can't make large decisions on anything if just one of these countries disagree!
It's not like the old USSR/CCCP where uprising internal opposition just led to the Red Army being send to crush it, or opposition in a Warsaw Pact being crushed like in Hungary.
All NATO countries can leave if they want to - and they can't be forced to do anything they don't want to do, in fact, they can stop things from happening in NATO regi!
Also, a country being a member of NATO doesn't mean that everything that country do, is under NATO.
Let's take the invasion of Iraq as an example, (something I personally think was stupid), several countries who are members of NATO participated, BUT, it had NOTHING to do with NATO!
In fact, several other NATO countries like Norway and Germany condemned the invasion!
It's the same with the BS about NATO should tell Ukraine that it can never be a member - NATO can't do that!
Heck, NATO can't tell Russia that it will never be able to be s member - and back when the NATO Partnership for Peace program was created, the Americans dreamed of Russia eventually becoming a member, (although there was some serious doubts among the former East Block countries, who didn't believe Russia would be willing to follow the path that would make it possible to join - and clearly they were right!)

Yeah, I never liked the guy, (Elon Musk), - even less so now!
There must be laws/international resolutions regulating the entire satellite issue, but I'm not familiar with how it's regulated.
But they definitely should look into Musk's economic activities and what his obligations are to the State and to international customers.
Yes, it's a great thing that the old cats get to spin again.
Although compared to the Leo2, Abrams1, and Challenger2, it would probably be more precise to label them Medium Tank instead of MBT.
But I wish Germany wouldn't be so reluctant to send their old Typhoon, they have around 90 of them - and if that doesn't happen, then hopefully the UK and others will send some Eurofighters...
It's much needed to gain control of the airspace...
