    Kyiv proposes replacing the US military in Europe with Ukrainian troops after the war.

    This is actually very interesting.

      Very. US troops obviously have lots of experience fighting insurgency style and ridiculously good hardware, logistics etc. but Ukraine have very hard earned experience in near peer conflict with drones and so on.

      Soldier for soldier, Ukraine probably has the best troops in the world right now for the kind of conflicts that are unfortunately looming.

        I don’t think the US would appreciate reducing their presence anywhere in the world.

          But I can understand why he wants Europeans to be the protectors instead of this country that in any 4 year period let a goddamn lunatic at the helm to reek havoc. Too unstable
