The U.S. announced last week that it will begin training about 100 Ukrainian troops at an army base in Oklahoma on how to operate the Patriot missile system that will be headed to Kyiv.

The following report is by The Trends Journal:

The training will take place at Fort Sill, the same base where U.S. troops are trained on the system. 

These weapon batteries are considered the most advanced in the U.S. They are not easy to operate and require about 90 troops who have been trained for about six months. Some military analysts say these systems can be effective in protecting big cities from a Russian bombardment. These systems were designed to identify and shoot down enemy aircraft and missiles.

Critics say these batteries will have no impact on the trajectory of the war and will be a top target for Russia. 

The U.S. has been training Ukrainians on weapons systems in Europe but this marks the first time that troops have been trained on American soil. The Kremlin called the decision another escalation by Washington that can lead to “unpredictable consequences.”

Although the training has support in the state, some lawmakers disapprove of the idea of foreign troops training on American soil.

State Sen. Nathan Dahm, R-Broken Arrow, filed a resolution to reject the decision.

These America Last policies of the current regime should not be tolerated in Oklahoma. We saw how recently the Ukrainian military fired a rocket into Poland killing two innocent civilians. We certainly don’t need them practicing here in Oklahoma where our citizens could be under the constant threat of a similar failure.

Dahm said, according to KFOR.

He said his resolution, Senate Concurrent Resolution 2, aims to reject the attempt by Washington to put “foreign troops in Oklahoma.”

It even encourages the governor, county officials, and law enforcement to use their powers to prohibit these foreign troops from being on Oklahoma soil.

He said. 

The report noted that other state senators gave the decision their stamp of approval, and said training these Ukrainians is important for the U.S.’s own national security. 

They said the resolution does not reflect the feeling in the state and they welcome “exercises to defend the lands we love and our neighbors in other countries. We hope the troops from other countries currently training on our beloved military installations in Oklahoma feel welcomed and experience what makes our state the best in the country.”

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.

Proverbs 20:18

Well, this is definitely NOT sound advice to make war!

So now we not only have U.S. troops in Ukraine and more on the border of it with NATO in the event things breakout, but now we Ukrainians on our turf to be trained to only escalate the killing field with Russia in an attempt to stoke World War III…


[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
