bs
And somehow Telegraph correspondents get to talk to them, photograph them, and come back from remote fields in Ukraine to report about it. Something doesn’t add up.
Bastogne was colder
Fox holes... my father lived in one in France during the war. they dug one for 1 day or more... as he trekked across France after landing at Normandy... traveling wet and cold, the hole was warmer than the open air.
when they landed at Normandy, they were not the first but soon after... their orders were to get off the boat and run for your life to get past the germans upon the hill shooting at every person running.. some didn’t make it.
Orders were to not stop and help a fellow soldier... just run and don’t stop.
Today, congress and comfortable people here in our country... you have what you have because young men fought and died to keep this country free!! Remember that the next time you see the flag...Our country didn’t just appear out there one day..It was paid for with blood and fathers, brothers, sons...

It sounds like the accounts of those exiled to Kazakhstan by Stalin, except these people are in the middle of a war and they may get shot or bombed at any time.
Is digging holes with your bare hands a sin? Cowardice? What? Because America soldiers have been doing that since the Revolutionary War.

Couldn't download the translated video this time unfortunately so it's just a screen capture. Here's the original version of the first two clips."
"1/ Russian mobilised soldiers from Krasnodar complain that they have been "thrown out like dogs" in the fields of Ukraine, with no information, no orders, no radio, no ammunition and no medicine, and live in holes dug out with their bare hands, as they have no shovels.""2/ Rough transcript/translation (with thanks to @altryne):"
"Dear our, so to speak, the authorities of the Russian Federation, the so-called Ministry of Defence, we are mobilised from the Krasnodar Territory."
"3/ For a month we were, like, being prepared for something, it is not clear what for, . We were being transported back and forth, . And now, it turns out, we are somewhere in the fields of Ukraine. We were just thrown out like dogs, here, really, in the fields."
"4/ No shovel, nothing with us ... We live just in the field, . No, no, they bring some food, literally two times a day. We burn fires, chop trees, , dig, what God sent, ... They gave us Kalash[nikovs] and bayonets, And guys, dig as you want, ."
"5/ There is no information, no command. We sit, , like [we're] on needles, because we do not know where [are] our own, where the strangers [enemy]. No radio, no cartridges, no shit. What is this, ? Our Ministry of Defence is so class."
"6/ We are all sick, no medicine, nothing. There are no medicines, two people are already [so sick] that they need to be hospitalised. Here they were treated, how to say, . With their own drugs, who has what, ."
"7/ Okay, now, at night, [it's] up to 0 degrees, and in the afternoon at least warm, , at least [it] warms up. You do not know what [projectiles] will fly from where, , because there is no idea where we really are. Information is zero."
"8/ Therefore, I would like to show our authorities, , who promised to recruit people for the universities, for good medical care, shouted that we have, that a person is a little sick, , he is sent to the hospital."
"9/ Then he is not sent anywhere, he lies in the dugout, , snarls blood, . Do you think this is normal? There is nothing normal here. There is a proverb, yes, a full soldier, dressed soldier, he is ready to fight."
"10/ So do you first, , distribute people who should be to the universities ... [We are] just like a guerrilla detachment."
"11/ We are taking scattered things. [Here is] what we dug out with our own strength. The uniform is bought exclusively by parents and relatives. Here three people live. You understand, right? Everyone is coughing. For 15 days already."
"12/ This is what is happening here. This is how our guerrilla Krasnodar detachment lives. Somewhere in the fields of Ukraine. Where are our people, where are strangers? /end"
putin is an evil man. he doesn’t care about his own troops, just his personal ambitions!
Well, well, well… yet another post from the ‘LEAGUE OF GERIATRICS FOR WAR’ lobby.
Then it sounds like Zelensky doesn’t need the next installment of FIFTY BILLION DOLLARS Slow-Joe Biden has promised him.
Troops pictured are NOT the troops who made the 2 videos. This image is just some random shot of Russian troops somewhere, location unknown.
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.
bkmk
The solution is simple....... march to the east
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.
Are they chopping trees with their hands as well?
Bad ass.
