Hear what Russians think about Western tanks for Ukraine

After the announcement of Germany and the US to supply tanks to Ukraine, Russia's propaganda machine is working at full throttle. Russian state TV playing down risks to Russian troops in Ukraine seems to be working on some - but not everyone is buying the hype. CNN's Nic Robertson reports. #CNN #News

I understand you 100%. I thought from the beginning that this war was about passive western aggression.

To tolerate it and at best even welcome it.

[@masia6255]

Ukraine wasn't in NATO when the war has started. And even being in NATO doesn't mean invading russia. You only prove that russian brain is totally mentally sick. We do what we want to do in our country - and if it doesn't affect your country - you have just to respect our choices. What you do - you try to justify the invasion and killing thousands of innocent people. Imagine a woman was raped and beaten many times by a neighbor or ex-boyfriend. She realizes she needs a support from the antiviolence support group because she can't handle it alone if this happens again and she just can die. And she sends an application to this group. Imagine after discovering this by her ex-boyfriend he starts beating her even more often and more cruel. Who is mentally sick in this situation? This ex-boyfriend which represents retarted russia

It's nice to hear from a Russian perspective. I completely agree that NATO's media coverage is completely corrupt. People from all over the world are dying in those miserable trenches and they will cherry-pick the cool parts and make it into a propaganda war film for clout. The west will vilify anyone who isn't us, as if our enemies arent fellow human beings. I know for sure the Russian government has done the same. Alas, it isn't new. It's just a cruel reality of war. Demonizing the enemy for your people and soldiers is a common tactic. I guess a silver lining to all this is, with the age of internet and social media, common folk of all nations are waking up and rejecting propaganda, and realizing how awful war truly is. All we can really do is hope for a swift end to all of this. Even still, the pain and scars of the conflict will remain for a time.

Вы, кажется, чувствуете, что НАТО - это большая угроза. НАТО никогда не представляло угрозы для России. Первоначально он был создан для противодействия сталинскому строительству империи. У Путина все еще есть мышление до 1991 года. на самом деле менталитет Сталина. Он хочет воссоздать старый Советский Союз. Но те времена давно прошли. Вы должны понимать, что Украина является независимой страной с 1991 года, и вторжение в нее совершенно неприемлемо. Я согласен с вашей точкой зрения о расширении НАТО, и Украине не обязательно быть в НАТО, но она должна быть свободна от российского влияния и может свободно вступать в Европейский Союз, если захочет

The main reason why it will take so long is because the haven’t been built yet.🧐 Instead of giving Ukraine used tanks, the US plans to give them brand new M1s. Unlike the German Leopards being pulled out of some other nation deep storage, I presume Ukraine will get the latest 4-man version of the M1. That, and the the crews will need extensive training on these new M1s, because they’re MUCH more complicated than the German Leopards, and Leopard IIs.😐 While they’re both effective weapons, the M1 would be more of a prize for Russians to capture on the battlefield. Therefore, it’s likely that the US will do all it can to make sure the crews are capable protecting it, also.💯 On top of that, you have the logistics for ammo, fuel, spare parts, upgrades, etc., etc…🥱 Personally, I think we should just pull a few hundred (we have over 3,000 of the things, after all…) used examples out of our deep storage, and get them over there, as soon as we can train some Ukrainian crews to man them.👍🏿 I think TIME is going to become more important in this conflict than we know.
