The all caps and exclamation points really sells how super cereal it is.
One observes that a simple search for "CRV7, short for 'Canadian Rocket Vehicle 7' " yields many actual news articles about the thought -- not as yet action -- to send these, and that news is now well over a month old. So Rehi's YouTube headline is about sensationalism. "Ukraine gets 80 000 Rockets! | Canada STEPS UP for Ukraine!"
As to actual news which could have been posted rather than posting monetized YouTube channels:
"During the Cold War, Canada produced over 80,000 CRV7 rockets. Retired from active service and stored, the disposal of these weapons commenced in 2021. Current estimates indicate around 8,000 CRV7 rockets remain serviceable"So one sees that this is month-old news repackaged for the purposes of a monetized vlogger in Estonia reporting on "news" from Canada a month and more old. With exclamation points!!!!!Source: Canada's plan to arm Ukraine with CRV7 rockets progresses amid scrutiny The original article is passed through MSN from essanews.com, a Polish site owned by Wirtualna Polska Holding SA. 8 March 2024
"Canada has been in the process of disposing of CRV7 rockets since the summer of 2021. According to Canadian journalists, only approximately 8,000 CRV7 rockets remain in serviceable condition with combat capabilities, while the remainder have either been decommissioned or dismantled."

"Ukrainian Lieutenant General Kyrylo Budanov, head of Kyiv's military intelligence agency, said in an interview published by Canadian network Global News on Monday that giving the rockets to Ukraine instead of destroying them would be 'a win-win situation' for both nations. Some Canadian officials have reportedly expressed reservations about fulfilling the request over concerns that the rockets may have become unstable in the years since being decommissioned, potentially making transporting the weapons and using them an especially risky proposition."

But what is interesting in the thread is the "Reporting from Ukraine" channel also gets promoted, given that this monetized vlogger uploads from the United States, not Ukraine. ⚠️ Specifically, from Alabama, from which he operates a 'merch' business as well with online business support from China. Or as one finds, "Let’s work together! Promote the products and get sales commissions!"
Rather than post the ACTUAL news articles (as above), this thread promotes monetized YouTube ( and X-Twitter ) channels.
The actual news articles, as above. Nah. There's no money in that.
It is also interesting that many of the comment exchanges involve an avowed monarchist resident in Spain, who has expressed disdain for many Freepers as "radical liberals."
Rather amusing, that old news can be repackaged and merchandised. With exclamation points!!!! Click. Subscribe. Or as the Alabama Ukrainian" reminds: "Let’s work together! Promote the products and get sales commissions!"
Yup.
