It is one of the first places that trained Ukrainians on using drones just after Russia invaded. Those people were not only quick learners, they figured out ways to use these weapons the US operators had not yet considered. Impressive people who are NOT going to give into Russia.

Read about Ukrainians training in England too. The British troops who worked with them lined the road off the base when they left to go back to fight in Ukraine in a salute of honor to the students who surpassed their teachers.

Trump is so out of touch he and his stupid ideas are a national security risk. But it works for Putin, so....

Trump is a threat to our military personnel, as are all the people he has had place into positions of authority.
