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