Good morning Propo Queen. I have some news for you. When we switched from OD Green to Woodland Camo, we had to buy the uniforms ourselves. They were not ISSUED. They also were not cheap.

Two UATV videos, one from the Security Service of Ukraine...

You can’t exactly complain about others who post using sources like Tass, RT, or the Russian Ministry or Defense, when you so readily rely upon the word of the Ukrainian government.

This nonsense is the equivalent of your parents walking 7 miles to school every day in all kinds of weather, uphill in both directions.

Yep. They are all alone with idea where they are but someone is delivering food twice a day. They have no tools to dig but they have axes to chop wood and break ground. This propaganda can’t even keep their lies straight within the same story.

A little suspicious.

They were not even given shovels yet apparently they were outfitted with axes as it said they chop wood daily? Why don’t they use the axes to help dig?

So they have trucks to carry the food, cooking equipment, and it said 2 men were taken to hospitals so they have the myriad ofnecessary medical equipment etc.

But no shovels.🤔

Is that supposed to be the same as these guys having to buy their uniforms at induction?

How much training did an American soldier see between basic and advanced training, and local training as in Britain, before actually seeing combat?

First, you have to be a true believer in this propo to not get the point and attempt to deflect. I'm not a believer, you are. It certainly meant much the same to a private barley bringing in $300 a month to have to spend over $100 a set x 4 and it was mandatory. Make of it what you will lefty.

I’m asking the poster who seems to know and was trying to use it to make some point.

Don’t be so hostile.

No radio, no cartridges, no s***," one says.

Just yesterday you guys ran a story where a new recruit called home to complain. So they don't need radios. They've got their cell phones, right?

Maybe they could just order out.

I know you were issued uniforms when inducted, and I believe that for a couple of years you got a uniform allowance.

Why are you so angry?

I interpret the reporting to be on the same subject from different induction locations. That is, the Russian government lacked the resources to fit out the mobilization, but that the mobilization actions were not the same in all induction locations.

I interpret the various versions of the story to mean that Russia is actually seriously lacking in the most basic of resources. There is just no there there.

The presence of Iran indicates the same thought. Russia lacks the means to produce the drones required to continue the assault on Ukraine. It is reported to have traded Iranian satellite launches for drones. It was a barter transaction rather than exchange of worthless national currencies
