Parallels with Vietnam? Washington wants more US military advisers in Ukraine

The Pentagon wants more US military advisers in Ukraine

“The Vietnam War began with a few hundred soldiers”

Washington reportedly wants to station more military personnel in Ukraine to monitor American arms shipments. A prominent US legal expert warns that the Vietnam War, which ended in trauma for the US, began in a similar way.

Apparently the Pentagon wants to send more military advisers to Ukraine. US President Joe Biden (80) is seeking to step up efforts to monitor the delivery and use of US weapons. This requires more US military personnel in the field, like NBC News reported this week.

In early November, Washington confirmed for the first time that US troops are already deployed in Ukraine on weapons inspections. The number of uniformed US soldiers in the warring nation should now be increased. A prominent US lawyer sees parallels in this with Vietnam, where the war lasted from 1955 to 1975.
