Can someone remind me when Congress voted to authorize an offensive war against Russia? I can’t imagine even a small percentage of Americans supporting such belligerence against a nuclear power pic.twitter.com/aOmIsfXTvR

Supposedly they're merely "allowing" US companies to bid on contracts to "repair" weapons systems in Ukraine.
But almost all of the people skilled in such jobs, and willing to enter hellish foreign warzones, are US military personnel.
And I seem to remember a long history of US governments claiming that no US personnel will be engaged in fighting foreign wars, only to discover later that "ex"-military people were hired by the CIA to just do that in the capacity of "military advisors."
Sometimes you "advise" foreign troops about how to shoot at the enemy by actually shooting at the enemy yourself. Lead by example, you know?
Teach by doing. Show them how to fight their war by taking over their war for them.
And then, once US personnel were involved, the government would declare that now America's honor and flag were at risk, and we had to Commit Fully to fighting the Foreign Communist Threat.
Domino Theory, you know. We have to fight them over there before the dominoes fall and then we're fighting them in Duluth.
