A small number of U.S. military forces inside Ukraine have recently begun doing onsite inspections to ensure that Ukrainian troops are properly accounting for the Western-provided weapons they receive, a senior U.S. defense official told Pentagon reporters Monday.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to provide a military update, would not say where the inspections are taking place or how close to the battlefronts the U.S. troops are getting. The official said U.S. personnel can’t do inspections “close to the front lines,” but said they are going where security conditions allow.

We just need a Gulf of Tonkin to complete this.

We’ll tripwire this thing yet.

Just what I was going to say.

It appears to be fait accompli, pretty much, by now.

Don’t worry, they aren’t doing any intelligence, targeting or command and control

Are they inspecting Zelenskyy’s new mansion in Switzerland for guns, and more likely money and gold? How about ‘big guy’s’ offshore accounts for money transfers from Ukrainian banks?

Someone must be asking where all the money and weapons went.

...properly accounting for the Western-provided weapons

"HIMARs...check. Howitzers...check. Artillery shells...check. TOW missiles...check. NASAMS...check. Mi-17 helicopters...check. Harpoon coastal defense missiles...check. Scan Eagle UAVs...check. All accounted for, SIR!"

They are where the Uke government is marshalling weapons. They are in a missile targeting area.
