https://www.foxnews.com/politics/us-armys-green-berets-have-lasting-impact-on-fight-in-ukraineGiven the amount of time the Green Beret's have had between Crimea and the current invasion, they could conceivably make a huge difference. Six years of training is more than most militaries provide. Matter of fact, it's more training than most Green Berets have at the basic level.

If the right people are trained and the training pyramids downward and outward, that's a LOT of highly-trained, qualified people.

It failed in Vietnam because the people just didn't give a damn. They'd sell out or turn an run in a second. I'm not getting that vibe from Ukranians :)

Not sure who did it, but it's a win.

https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2022/03/24/ukraine-sinks-russian-ship-hits-port-supplying-the-mariupol-siege-n457583My guess would be a military unit operating as guerillas. IMO, this is exactly how Ukraine can win. I'm not seeing them taking on Russia in conventional battle and coming out ahead.

This kind of sabotage is pure gold. It kills morale and any sense of security. Any time, any where. Psychologically exhausting.

While I'm sure Biden will be caught off guard, I hope the Ukranians and other nearby NATO forces are prepared for Putin to retaliate with tactical nukes. It's looking more and more like that's what it's coming down to.
