Right? And they are the mothballed shit that was gonna rot in a wearhouse instead of doing what they are supposed to do: blow Russians into tiny peices.
Now we get to watch a field test in war conditions, restock our own troops with even better shit, design strategies with the use of drones after watching how well the Ukrainian military are using them, and sit on our ass providing intelligence while the Russians get royally fucked.
Unhinged
This is a win/win for everyone except Russian invaders.
Well, and all the dead ukrainians
I'm sure the majority of Ukrainians would rather fight for their very existence instead of rolling over and ending up a Russian satellite state again.
Yes, because they would much rather undergo another Holodomor.
Russian mercy is well understood.
Please engage with contemporary, mainstream historians who have studied the now open Soviet archives. I recommend R. W. Davies and Stephen G. Wheatcroft, The Years of Hunger: Soviet Agriculture, 1931-1933. You can just read the introduction (all but the first edition) where they discuss and go into detail on Holodomor as genocide. It’s in English and pretty accessible to lay people. The rest of the book will likely be of no interest to you, as it’s part of a series of very dry academic publications by the authors that goes into the minutiae of Soviet agriculture. If that interests you, go for it.
Saying the holodomor was a genocide is the same as saying the dust bowl was a genocide.
More like saying the Indian or Irish famines were a genocide.
