Ah...now we see what this is about.

Pentagon allows US defense contractors to operate in Ukraine - Reuters

We are going to let our versions of the East India Company plunder the Ukraine and eventually Russia now that the two have been destroyed. Swoop in and make big profits on the graves of dead ukrainians and Russians.

It's the camel's nose in the tent.

FTA:

Previously, the US government banned its contractors from working in Ukraine to conduct repairs and maintenance on equipment provided to the Ukrainian military.

In particular, at the end of August, The Wall Street Journal reported that Washington had refused to send specialists to Ukraine for servicing Western equipment, including F-16 fighter jets.

According to the publication, US intelligence deemed such a move too dangerous.

The American authorities were concerned that Russian forces might target US contractors deployed to Ukraine.

So what has changed? If it was too dangerous to do then why isn't it too dangerous to do now?

This is how it began in Vietnam. First it was advisers and technical aid, then we eventually sent soldiers in ourselves. In this case we'll probably take an intermediate step by sending in mercenaries. These "conttractors" will probably include Blackwater and other paramilitary aid.

This story was from November 8 but was undoubtedly written before that. With Trump coming into office things will change. But this is actually the most dangerous time as Mr. Biden would have no problem handing Trump a war with Russia, and at best he is trying to feed the Ukrainians everything he can before leaving office (something he knew was happening regardless). I see Biden getting us in very deep to make it hard for Trump to disentangle us.

And the Russians will see this too, which is why they will probably double down for the next month or so.

America needs to change the way we do the transfer of power. The President should leave office within days of the election, not within months as is the current custom. We did that back then when travel took a lot of time and so the logistics of the turnover were difficult, but with modern technology there is no reason why we can't hand the Presidency off in days. We need to do that to stop the outgoing Administration from sabotaging the incoming as they have done in recent years.

This looks to me like a sabotage.
