Judging from recent Ukie Territorial troops social media posts, the corrupted little beggar better carry a sidearm, when the few returning Ukie troops get ahold of him, he will need it.

Ammo is very, very heavy….I know. Hope the Ukies have forklifts to move the pallets needed to feed the Maxims.

It’s easy to spot an army that’s winning.

They’re the ones using raiding museums to scavenge up and field relics from WWI.

Totally winning.

Since the Kievan Rus of the late 9th century they have been around in one form or another. That makes them just a wee bit older than the US.
