The US and its allies have given training to thousands of Ukrainian soldiers — some of whom have said it doesn't always work well in practice.

    I mean, it’s not exactly that Iraq and Afghanistan operations went all that well… I wonder if Afghani talibans are doing any pressure on Iran eastern border with all that’s been left behind after nato left Afghanistan.

        I mean, if you ask most people when the war in Afghanistan ended they’re not going to say 2002 or whatever, so that’s a bit misleading.

        yeah no. until there’s a foreign invader, any act against the invader is war. war ends with the annihilation of relevant parties or when the invader leaves.

          That’s not what was said. The OP was quite blatantly talking about the invasion operations, not the occupational operations.

          Your pedantry is unnecessary and unsolicited.

            what you’re talking about? I’m op of this comment thread, someone answered (in a pedantic way), I disagreed. what you on? I’m just happy that Ukrainians are alive because they didn’t follow what appears to be wrong advice… sheesh…

                I’m in the wrong. never chat with someone so ready to slap adjectives and doesn’t elaborate. I fall for it every time, my bad. ratio to you too - whatever you think it means.
