It’s not about training. It’s about NATO equipment staffed by NATO personnel doing to the targeting for the strikes.
Rough analogy would be if these were later guided missiles it’s Ukrainians actually pulling the trigger but it’s NATO personnel holding the targeting laser in place.
That’s what Carlson claimed at least. He might be lying, but the OP post text belies a misunderstanding of what Carlson’s even claiming in the first place.
What I heard Carlson say had nothing to do with Ukrainians being incapable of understanding the system, or being untrainable or something. It’s about part of the system — not the missiles but the targeting apparatus — being operated by NATO during strikes.
That would require American planes or soldiers in places they aren't supposed to be. This isn't something they can do from international airspace.
If I’m remembering his case correctly, it’s NATO-controlled satellites, operated by NATO personnel, that are the equipment necessary to carry out successful strikes.
That's pretty ridiculous unless we're including GPS in that definition.
