Crash Course | Military Training of The Ukrainian Military and Its International Legion (Mercenaries)

,

Can there be a successful crash military training course in just thirty days, four weeks? Attempts to answer this question contain much debate from several sides. Ukrainian civilians are being recruited to fight, given a crash course in military training and sent directly onto the battlefield. To help decide an answer to this question, a comparison to regular military training is necessary. This article is a brief view of what is involved in regular military training. It will compare the first thirty days (four weeks) of regular military training with the training received in the current US and NATO crash course for the Ukrainian military. The first thirty days of military training only cover part of the Basic Training (BCT) period. While reviewing the complete training and requirements for military recruits, it will be asked if that amount of training can be compacted into a thirty day time period. Given the conflict in Ukraine is very much its proxy war against Russia, focus will be on military training within the United States.

War In Ukraine | United States Intentions - Mission Creep

 On February 2, 2023, PressTV spoke with guests Sara Flounders of International Action Center in New York and Journalist John Bosnitch in Belgrade on the US involvement in the military conflict in Ukraine. Some of their talking points are:

1. US Mission Creep in Ukraine
2. US years of planning for a military conflict in Ukraine
3. US intentions in Ukraine 
4. US Creation of a Zelensky 
5. US timeline for the conflict in Ukraine
6. Finality of the Special Military Operation - Eventual Peace

I have followed Ms Flounders and International Action Center for years going back to the invasions into Iraq and Afghanistan. The International Action Center was created by Ramsey Clark and many anti-war and community activists opposing the first war on Iraq. Ms. Flounders brings an internal American perspective that only an autobiography can give.

PressTV Spotlight 2/2/2023 

"The war in Ukraine"

The Russian President Vladimir Putin has said Russia would defeat Ukraine in the grip of a new incarnation of Nazism. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky continues to ask for handouts, this time for F-16 jets which the US and its allies like Germany have rejected, for now.

In this edition of the Spotlight, we will look at this war and see how close or how far the warring sides are when it comes to peace.
