I know of one leader that the majority of his abused citizens would love to drive a tank over, our fearless leader in DC.

Exactly...

This is total BS.

In ANY military if you are caught fragging your CO, that is a death penalty court martial.

It gives the Who? what? where? & Why?
Would it have made any difference if he posted it to Twitter?

Apparently it is. No fact checking, just propaganda.

Assuming it was true these troop better ask for asylum in Ukraine. I don’t think Putin would be welcoming them home. More like bombing them, accidentally.

Pretty much the entirety of western war reporting consists of printing as news the tweets of a handful of Ukrainian bluecheck Twitter accounts. No further verification necessary.

Anyways, here's a video of Ukrainian forces surrendering in Kiev.

Watch it before Twitter suspends the account for posting "Russian disinformation".

This report was discussed on a thread posted yesterday where it appears the 37th Motorized Rifle Brigade is part of the Uzbekistan army and the Uzbek government has declared neutrality in this conflict. Also I have what might be a dumb question but the report said the commander was run over by a tank from the brigade. Would a rifle brigade also have tanks?
