A lot of U.S. equipment that Øbowel left there for ISIS, his creation.

are those ‘war trophies’ American equipment stolen from Iraq? I can’t see Assad’s stuff being shipped anywhere.

A trainload of tanks at Kursk?

Does no one see the irony?

But inside one of the train's carriages, one exhibit appeared to paint a different picture. Two mannequins with gas masks stand around dummy equipment for chemical-weapons production. A serviceman posted to the installation rattled off lines he'd memorized from a script in his right hand, while he pointed to the relevant objects with a pointer he held in his left.

"With the help of this installation and chemical reagents made abroad, the rebels produced poisonous gas and used various methods of delivering it to the target," the serviceman said, indicating the control board, the chemical reactor, and the electric motor that powered the set-up. The equipment had been found in the basement of a bombed-out building in Douma, a city close to the Syrian capital Damascus, in April 2018, he said. That month, a chemical-weapons attack the West blamed on Assad's government, which Russia called a Western provocation, claimed at least 70 civilian lives.

"With the help of such munitions the rebels fired on the Syrian Army and used them for shelling of civilians as a form of provocation," the serviceman continued. He then pointed to the gas mask worn by one of the mannequins, with the words "Made in Finland" emblazoned on it. "As we see, foreign production," he said.

The travelling exhibition, titled Syrian Breakthrough, is meant to raise support for the armed forces among a Russian population increasingly weary of the country's military campaigns in Ukraine and the Middle East, and increasingly pre-occupied with problems at home amid stagnating incomes and falling real wages.

Typical neo-liberal projection from the propaganda arm of the US government...its the Ukrainian people who are weary of the fighting in the East and its the American people who are tired of endless wars of intervention in the Middle East.
