Do you really believe everything you read in the newspaper??? Because I can answer this question for you I’m sure you don’t because yes journalism nowadays has become propaganda fear tactics you name it, but Russia is the one that picked this fight and now they’re paying the piper I just made that comment so they’re gonna have to deal with it. I don’t believe in war violence it does nothing but cause death and destruction, but when I heard about Russia attacking Ukraine out of nowhere I was like figures. So if they want to use old phones you know from back in the 80s or 90s and then get themselves caught because the United States has some of the best technology in the world you know that, and I’m sure we’re supplying them with some if not a lot. Then you’re gonna get caught Russia is trying to fight an old war and they’re losing and I’m glad due to the fact that they are a bully country the United States finally has started to learn I feel that stick your nose in it in And we end up right back in another one ourselves yeah don’t believe everything you read a newspaper don’t believe this guy every word he says the news is corrupt take it as you hear it make your own assumption if you’re not on the ground and Ukraine we don’t know 💩 thank you

The impression I've gotten is that the Russian Army follows the model of the "Grand Army of the Republic" from the Star Wars prequels.
