But isn't it true that these require a trained operator with years of experience? This was the US excuse for not sending them earlier. Does this mean, however, that the US has officially entered the war if they're supplying personal now?

Agree. Patriot didn't protect Jerusalem / Tel Aviv in 2006 nor Saudi Arabia in 2020.

Meanwhile my country, impoverished occupied Greece, has been forced by its US-Israeli overlords to give away its precious S-300 system and buy shitty and overpriced Patriot. A calamity for Greece militarily but also diplomatically: we had the S-300 under strict treaty agreement with Russia which forbids us to sell it on or give it away.

US Ambassador Geoff Pyatt was sent to Greece straight from his triumphant Ukraine coup d'etat to 1) cut off Greece off from Russia and 2) fill Greece with US bases. Mission accomplished - yet - 82% of Greeks support Russia in this war and have no love for "West" and "EU" and "NATO" in which we are imprisoned.
