Don’t get me wrong. I’d be highly surprised if there weren’t at least some American fighting in Ukraine on a more than just “personal capacity” but with the fixation the Republicans have with tying Biden to Ukraine it’s highly likely that any sizeable involvment would have been been discovered and made public by now.

If you think the Russian Army is fighting the combined western might right now, then I have disappointing news for you.
