War

One more step on the road to war was revealed last March with the leak of some Pentagon papers (sound familiar) One document, dated 23 March, refers to the presence of a small number of Western special forces operating inside Ukraine, without specifying their activities or location. The UK has the largest contingent (50), followed by Latvia (37), France (15), the US (14) and the Netherlands (1). This was not widely reported in the news because the media is aligned with the government to proceed with the plan to aid Ukraine. In 1962 US special forces were sent to Vietnam and this was three years before the first combat troops arrived. We just keep standing by and watching but this time the stakes may be much higher.
