The Pentagon announced this week that it was deploying US troops to Ukraine to begin training the Ukrainian national guard. Meanwhile, Ukraines president Poroshenko was in Davos claiming that 9,000 Russian troops are fighting in eastern Ukraine, though no one has seen them including OSCE monitors on the ground. Its OK for the US to send troops, but Russias phantom forces are an intolerable escalation? ...So there may well be Russian troops and equipment on the ground in Ukraine -- though so far no proof exists and the Russians deny it. But we know very well that there are US troops and heavy military equipment on the ground in Ukraine because the US openly admits it! So Russia has no business claiming interest in unrest on its doorstep, but the US has every right to become militarily involved in a conflict which has nothing to do with us nearly 5,000 miles away? Interventionist illogic.
