——complete with the latest Soviet hardware ——
As an interesting aside, Iraq did not always actually pay for the weapons bought from the USSR.
The USSR took paper, notes, IOU’s from Iraq. The USSR central bank took the notes and then provided the manufacturers with bank credits collateralized by the notes. The manufacturers used the credit papers to borrow to have the payroll and operating funds.
The paper the manufacturer had said the paper could be redeemed in Iraq for Iraqi currency or goods. At the end of the USSR, the manufacturers were left holding the bag. They badly wanted such items as PC’s and Fax machines. They tried to use the discounted Iraqi notes for payment. My Banker just laughed at the attempt to monetize worthless trash.

Are you for real? The Azov battalions are what? .5% of the Ukrainian army?
Azov Regiment - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azov_Regiment The regiment's size was estimated to be around 900 to 2,500 combatants in 2017–2022. [22] [3]
Some Freepers love Putin too much. They see Putin rescuing them, their savior from the WEF and globohomo. Putin plays to these types of gullible idiots in the West sometimes.
The Azov battalions are empowered by Zelenskyy, a man who you hold in esteem. Please explain why he would allow this.
Devised, implemented and funded by our own Washington, DC. None of this would be happening without the actions of our insane, clownass fed.gov.
Washington, DC is, quite literally, becoming a geographical threat to the world, and it's host nation.
It's not sustainable, and won't end well.
You’ve been on your virtual knees, for months, sucking and slurping the Zel fag - so your creds are ZERO.
What I like about Putin, is he’s ending the ambitions of sucklings, globaloids and FR bottom dwellers - like you.
Is it based in Moscow and funded by Russia?
Yes it is.
Deal with it.
Putin has said some pretty negative things about Lenin. If you read British media you will be non-stop fed anti Putin garbage.
Msm won’t report it either.
Whatever makes your day I guess but he is not a communist and its no different than statues of General Lee in the south.
I think the big picture, esp having been to Russia many times, is not to be found in the US state media.
Remember what they said about Trump.
Here are some birthday messages to Putin on buildings around the world..
🎉Miami, New York, Rome and Madrid congratulated Putin on his birthday
The words of our president have appeared on buildings in various parts of the Western world.
“This West has no moral right to even stutter about the freedom of democracy. Happy birthday, Mr. President - Miami
“The entire unipolar world order is false and hypocritical through and through. Happy birthday, Mr. President” - New York
“Our values are humanity, mercy and compassion” - Rome
“The collapse of Western hegemony that has begun is irreversible. It won’t be like before. Happy birthday, man changing the world!” – Madrid

Oh. The message in Miami was on Trump Tower.
Putin has been a bully - no doubt.
But he is greatly admired by many world leaders.
Just sharing to expand your sources.
And what do we have as a leader??????
Where to start....a disaster that the world laughs at daily.
I would much rather have Trump again, but absent that I prefer Putin.
Pftttttt...Idiot with a vivid fantasy life.
You are going to “ wake up” with one terrible hangover. Drinking from Biden’s Ukie war whiskey bottle insures just that.

Speaking of bullies, we make Putin look like a kindergartner today. And blowback is coming. We have no one but ourselves and perhaps a stolen election to blame.
“The Azov battalions are empowered by Zelenskyy”
There are only about 2000 fighters in Azov. Their effects are miniscule. They fight off the Russian beast, which is good enough for me.

The Azov regiment’s size was estimated to be around 900 to 2,500 combatants in 2017–2022
The political kooks and fringe fruitcakes of Putinland have constructed a fantasy world and nothing will change their brainwashed minds at this point. It is sad to see broken and defeated conservatives looking for salvation from mass murdering KGB filth.
No dennis, I have a REAL life, and lots people on FR know me - in real life. Not a Uke-harpie who has pushed for every SINGLE foreign engagement since the day you showed up.
Anyone here know you dennis? Ever been to any FR gatherings?
It’s a rhetorical question.
You are a TOTAL DUMBASS. Posting anti-American doggerel like this propaganda from despotic RuSSia should be cause for the zot.
The road of Kremlin propaganda has always led to destruction.
I haven’t read such utter garbage since one of Goebbels’ speeches.
Can’t believe this “Christian” site allowed this vile trash to be posted here on the Sabbath.
Ironically, it’s Russia that again and again displays genuine Nazi traits and behaviors through its history. Both historically and in modern times.
Stalin ordered 20,000 Poles shot in the head at Katyn. Now Russia celebrates him. Millions more robbed of their lives and murdered in his gulags. Only a very sick, morally bankrupt and soulless kind of society deifies mass murders like that.
In modern times you have Russia invading its smaller neighbors repeatedly in an attempt to rebuild its empire. Politically denying Ukraine’s right to self existence and then using the Russian army to raise entire Ukrainian cities to the ground. Sending its troops into orphanages to steal Ukrainian children and send them to Russia. These are monstrous genocidal crimes that have resulted in hundreds of thousands now dead in Ukraine and mirror much of the history of Nazi Germany. Shame on anyone supporting Nazi Russia.
Carry on.
Truth must be told.
