Not propaganda. Better weapons. US provided a half bil in anti tank missiles.
They are also shipping in 3 warthogs.
If I was Ukraine military I would be using those planes to bomb the snot out of that 40 mile long convoy of military hardware chugging their way to Kyiv.
Can u imagine the cleanup crew if all 40 miles of Russian hardware got destroyed?
I heard the bunch the Russians sent are all green soldiers with no experience or training in battle, just expendable grunts as far as Putin is concerned.
He doesn't care if he loses a million men in his army if he wins Ukraine.
Real nice dude, Puking Putin.

Meanwhile the raw recruits were getting no military training that could be of the slightest use to them. I had been told that foreigners were not obliged to attend ‘instruction’ (the Spaniards, I noticed, had a pathetic belief that all foreigners knew more of military matters than themselves), but naturally I turned out with the others. I was very anxious to learn how to use a machine-gun; it was a weapon I had never had a chance to handle. To my dismay I found that we were taught nothing about the use of weapons. The so-called instruction was simply parade-ground drill of the most antiquated, stupid kind; right turn, left turn, about turn, marching at attention in column of threes and all the rest of that useless nonsense which I had learned when I was fifteen years old. It was an extraordinary form for the training of a guerilla army to take. Obviously if you have only a few days in which to train a soldier, you must teach him the things he will most need; how to take cover, how to advance across open ground, how to mount guards and build a parapet — above all, how to use his weapons. Yet this mob of eager children, who were going to be thrown into the front line in a few days’ time, were not even taught how to fire a rifle or pull the pin out of a bomb. At the time I did not grasp that this was because there were no weapons to be had.

@shavixmir said...and in Ukraine, they're there to oppose a nasty right-wing invader.
Well, except that in the Spanish civil war the volunteers were there to oppose a nasty right-wing regime…
