The worst military to join is the US army. You will probably die for a no just cause.

It’s either you fighting for Israel, or you going into a war based on lies and propaganda.

Is it not surprising that some people that didn't believe BBC news account of Russia/Ukraine war update,now believe New York Times account because it fit their narrative.

Hypocrisy of the highest order.

They have shortage of personnel, there's no solution to it except if NATO can officially deploy troops in Ukraine..start intercepting Russian drones from Polish and Romanian airspace just like US/UK/France/Germany did for Israel against Iranian missiles heading to Tel Aviv.
Yet it was under the siege of Iranian missiles

Play stupid games, earn stupid prize. This is the prize you get for being a puppet and allowing NATO use your country as a weapon testing ground. Now you're gradually conceding the country to Russia. This is a war that could have been avoided before it even started.
how was Ukraine a puppet and how did it allow NATO use it as a testing ground?

what did NATO test in Ukraine?

how could have the war been avoided before it started?

What's the difference between Foreign Volunteers & Foreign Soldiers?

Are the volunteers not soldiers? Or are they farmers??

And are the volunteers not US & Foreign Soldiers?

It says right there in the article that the Soldiers are Americans & Colombians, Taiwanese (foreigners).

You just hurriedly made a decision without even cross checking. Nairaland has lost it's steam. Disappointing.

Good questions and I'll answer them as shortly as I can.

The war is essentially a war between Russia and NATO but being fought on Ukrainian soil. Ukraine here is a proxy. Just like USA used Israel to launch an unprovoked attack against Iran recently. The West - (America, Britain etc) has been pushing Ukraine towards this goal gradually over the years, maybe since the end of the 2nd world war, the goal is to reshape public consciousness of Ukrainians to be Anti-Russia, even though they share more than border, they share deep interwoven history. USA once promised Russia that NATO would not move an inch eastwards (towards Russia), but they have assimilated Russia's closest neighbours (Latvia, Estonia etc) into NATO. At the Bucharest Summit in 2008, NATO leaders said "Ukraine will eventually join NATO". Which Russia rightly opposes. Though it can be argued that Ukraine is a sovereign nation who has the right to choose its allies but dinning with the West against a super power (Russia) as a neighbour is dangerous. It's more like - If you want to keep your enemy under control, make friends with its neighbour. Think of it this way, if Russia is a member of a military alliance similar to NATO, USA will have something to say if Russia extends membership to its neighbours like Mexico or Canada. That's part of what I meant in that sense that Zelensky is a puppet. I'll recommend a book called "The Inevitable - The Shocking Truth Behind The War in Ukraine" by Diana Panchenko.

To your second question, NATO hasn't tested any conventional weapon in Ukraine prior to the war, but American Britain and Canada has been training Ukrainian army years before the invasion, essentially preparing them for war against Russia. The massive weapons transfers people see now only began after Russia invaded in 2022, when NATO Allies have provided 99% of all military aid that Ukraine has received.

To your last question, The war could have been avoided through dialogue, Russia warned and warned, initially, the war could have been avoided if USA honour its word by not encircling Russia, let alone preparing Ukraine to join NATO. It's a threat to Russia's national security. If your enemy encircles you unprovoked, you will bite, it's common sense.
