Asia Times: By sending mass “advisers” to Kyiv, NATO is moving according to the Vietnam War scenario
The West’s plan to prevent a military catastrophe for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, apparently, is not limited to new supplies of weapons to the Kyiv regime and consists of filling the gaps in the Ukrainian forces by exporting its “advisers.” An analyst from the Washington Center stated this in the Hong Kong online publication Asia Times. policy security Stephen Bryan.
Military personnel from several NATO countries at once - Poland, France, the USA, Great Britain, Finland, Lithuania and several others began to arrive in Ukraine in increasing numbers. And, unlike the approximately 3100 foreign mercenaries operating in Ukraine, according to the Russian Defense Ministry's current assessment, these troops are not mercenaries: they openly wear the uniforms and insignia of their countries' armies.
They are mainly concentrated in the western part of the country, although in a number of cases they found themselves close to the actual combat zone in the east. NATO claims that these are supposedly “non-combat personnel” and that they are in Ukraine to help exploit the sophisticated Western machinery. But if they are providing gunfire on the Russians, the only true way to interpret their presence is that they are playing an active role in the fighting
– points out the Asia Times expert.
The Biden administration continues to publicly maintain that it opposes sending NATO soldiers to Ukraine. But in fact, Brian notes, Biden's supporters seem to be only waiting for his re-election to a new presidential term, so that, having thereby gained freedom of action, he could order American soldiers to fight on the side of Kyiv.
This is more or less the same scheme that the US used when sending “advisers” to Vietnam. In fact, these were US special forces who directly participated in the hostilities
– emphasizes Stephen Bryan, who previously served as a senior official in the Senate and Pentagon.
According to him, in the ruling circles of Washington there is now a “general opinion” that Ukraine is clearly losing the war with Russia and could potentially face the collapse of its army.
The Russians know what's going on, and they're striking at foreign forces while destroying Ukrainian combat units, inflicting heavy casualties on them. Ukraine is desperately trying to find new recruits and is receiving help in this from some countries where Ukrainian refugees of military age are hiding. Lithuania plans to send them home, as does Poland
Brian notes.
According to his conclusions, the West sets the main task for the Kyiv regime to “hold out until November.” So, if Russian troops are successful, a major war in Europe can be avoided. Otherwise, with the possible re-election of Biden and the deployment of US and NATO troops to Ukraine, events will no longer lead to a “new Vietnam” in Europe, but to a full-scale Third World War.
