I have no knowledge of how true any of this is, but it's an interesting tread on twitter:

But it is somewhat believable.

Even if it is not true, it is the story Ukrainians should be telling.

I hope it's true.

Can you guess which US media outlets are shading the truth to help one side or the other?

I can't. But it will be fun to review this when the time comes.

The really odd thing about this is that it seems the republicans and democrats both favor Ukraine. There are few, if any, significant events on which they can agree.

Anti-tank weapons. Now.

Armor has to have infantry in an urban setting, to keep the unfriendly folks from lighting them up from shoot down positions. If the Ukranians can keep the Russian infantry pinned down, and they have enough anti-tank weapons (and know how to use them), they can make a city a very nasty place, indeed...

My understanding is that Germany is sending Javelins into Ukraine.

I thought Trump sent them thousands a few years back?
