If that network of bases has resulted in the present state of the war, like if we have that whole thing and one of the complaints about the Avdiivka retreat was that they couldn't coordinate it because the different radios couldn't communicate, funding them more seems silly. Either they're a completely useless asset or despite their work the Ukrainian military is as incompetent as the Afghan National Army. The CIA was created to outsmart Russians and they're shitting their butt-asses when that's tested in the first post-Soviet war against Russians.

In light of anxieties around the $61 billion package, Ukrainian intelligence agencies are now worried whether the CIA will "abandon" them, as "it happened in Afghanistan before," one senior Ukrainian officer told the NYT.

Not just Afghanistan, but Venezuela (Guaido), Russia (Navalny), Belarus, Hong Kong, and Vietnam (Diem).

Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me 6+ times… you get fooled again again

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
