With the recent increase in rhetoric from Russia blaming the U.K. Navy for Nordstream and claims of the U.K. Navy assisting with the Crimea bridge sabotage things appear to be hearing up quickly.

I bet most Afghans would refuse to fight for Russia anyway,if they know their history.
How many would be willing to fight for the US/NATO side? considering after 20 years of US bombing their villages pretending that they had being bombing villages due over terrorists in the area.
Majority of Afghans no longer trust the US.

Not sure I'd call it "rhetoric". Unless of course you are naive enough to think Russia would destroy it's own infrastructure and throw away one if it's biggest bargaining chips over Europe. There is about 50 western officials on the record calling for the destruction of NordStream. But yeah it's Russia.

"They said the Russians want to attract thousands of the former elite Afghan commandos into a āforeign legionā with offers of steady, $1,500-a-month payments "
I am sure that money will be paid in a reliable manner.
The russian soldiers and volunteers have been complaining of not getting paid(or fed,or armed)since day one,but I am sure Putin will make sure these Afghans who he wants as more cannon meat will get juicy paychecks on time.

We have had a small contingent in Ukraine for decades. It's not new information, just new to those people who have recently discovered it. They aren't armed. They are usually instructors teaching the Ukranians how to use advanced systems such as HIMARS. We also have a small contingent in Russia.

Ben Wallace has been 'visiting' Ukraine every year since 2014................... Now we get US personnel, it's all pre planned. Ukraine is a puppet of the West through it's coup installed government. Oh and by the way, read this..........................................
You couln't make it up.............Afghan special forces trained up by the Anglos now fighting for Russia in Ukraine! www.theguardian.com... "Afghan special forces soldiers who fought alongside American troops and then fled to Iran after the chaotic US withdrawal last year are now being recruited by the Russian military to fight in Ukraine, three former Afghan generals have told the Associated Press.
They said the Russians want to attract thousands of the former elite Afghan commandos into a āforeign legionā with offers of steady, $1,500-a-month payments and promises of safe havens for themselves and their families so they can avoid deportation home to what many assume would be death at the hands of the Taliban."

It's more likely that this will end in a United States operation, not NATO. According to the article, US forces have recently entered Ukraine to assess and inspect weapons deliveries from the US.
When asked what the U.S. Department of Defense personnel could do inside the Ukraine, the defense official said DoD personnel are assessing various equipment needs but āotherwise, our role is to support our civilian agency counterparts if they should request our assistance as they support the Ukrainians.ā
