#Ukraine targeted the #Borisoglebsk #airfield in #Russia's #Voronezh Oblast damaging a warehouse with guided #bombs, aircraft & other #military assets

In the past 4 mos, the #Pentagon has sent thousands of active-duty #combat #troops & armored Stryker combat vehicles to the SW border to confront what Trump declared on his 1st day in office was an “invasion” of migrants, drug cartels & smugglers.
