My favorite part is that there are almost certainly deniable U.S. assets in Ukriane particularly trainers and among the mercenary companies, I mean, there has been joking in the Donbass for almost a year now (crazy it's been this long tbh) that they are fighting the 'Ukrainian International Corp' because of how often the Donbass militias found themselves fighting non-Ukrainian troops. I think a lot of it has settled down and pulled out as the Mozart Group fell apart and the Ukrainian offenses have lost steam, relying more and more on conscripts and diehards, but to say that the U.S. lost no troops here is almost definitely a lie.
