If that network of bases has resulted in the present state of the war, like if we have that whole thing and one of the complaints about the Avdiivka retreat was that they couldn’t coordinate it because the different radios couldn’t communicate, funding them more seems silly. Either they’re a completely useless asset or despite their work the Ukrainian military is as incompetent as the Afghan National Army. The CIA was created to outsmart Russians and they’re shitting their butt-asses when that’s tested in the first post-Soviet war against Russians.
