A U.S.-made M113 armored personnel carrier bearing Russian and American flags was filmed storming Ukrainian positions in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Russian propaganda media outlet RT claimed on Aug. 18.
Allegedly sent by Russian soldiers of the 70th Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 42nd Guards Division, the video likely shows an M113 that was supplied to Ukraine by its Western allies. and captured by Russian forces during fighting.
The video was shared by Russian propaganda media just days after U.S. President Donald Trump met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska in what Moscow cast as the end of its international isolation

(32,767 posts)Krasnov will announce today what Putin ordered him to say. Biden started the war, Zelenskyy needs to give up occupied land for peace, Ukraine can never join NATO, if Zelenskyy refuses to surrender then Krasnov will blame Zelenskyy for being the obstacle to peace.
Krasnov will not mention the atrocities of Bucha, will not mention the Russian kidnapping of 20,000 Ukrainian children. Krasnov will say what Putin ordered him to say.
The US will continue to not send military aid to Ukraine, Krasnov will remove sanctions on Russia, Krasnov will make deals to boost Russia's failing economy. What else do we need to believe what I have posted? Video of Krasnov fluffing Putin?
Krasnov is a traitor worse than benedict Arnold.

Like Reagan sending arms to Iran all the while pretending to be a tough guy "standing up to America's enemies."
Except Trump doesn't hide the fact that he sees Putin as his best bud.

(32,767 posts)Russia may have captured that armored vehicle and put the American flag on it, why wouldn't they? Krasnov allied the US with Russia in the war. Why would it surprise anyone if Russian soldiers started chanting USA USA going into battle?
Krasnov is fucking Ukraine royally at the request of Putin.
Maybe I will be wrong, but we shall see soon enough at today's meeting.

(9,153 posts)But seeing that is what sparked the question.
The only obstacle I see to Trump pulling such a move would be the logistics.
Otherwise, I don't think he'd have any scruples, legal or moral, about sending US military assistance to Russia, either in the form of actual equipment, or military intelligence.
