Biden administration moves toward allowing American military contractors to deploy to Ukraine - eviltoast

CNN —

The Biden administration is moving toward lifting a de facto ban on American military contractors deploying to Ukraine, four US officials familiar with the matter told CNN, to help the country’s military maintain and repair US-provided weapons systems.

The change would mark another significant shift in the Biden administration’s Ukraine policy, as the US looks for ways to give Ukraine’s military an upper hand against Russia.

The policy is still being worked on by administration officials and has not received final sign-off yet from President Joe Biden, officials said.

    But you’re not. You’re disagreeing with the person while asking leading questions, then arguing against the answers to the questions you asked.

    It’s almost like you’re intentionally wasting their effort and mental energy to deal with your gish-galloping.

      I really don’t know what you mean. I asked what US national security interests were being served by the US involvement in the Russia/Ukraine conflict, they answered, and I said I didn’t find their answers compelling. It’s really that simple.
