Ukraine gets Missiles

Big missiles, very fancy missiles ....believe me, I know missiles. I know more about missiles than just about everyone, believe me ..it's so easy, the missiles.

Big missiles, so big - trust me, they're big missiles ...very bigly.
 
I believe this is move is more intended to counteract Russia giving Syria better missiles.

these weren't anti-aircraft missiles though, according to the article, but anti-tank missiles. and not very many. but enough I guess to make the Russians keep their armor back, possibly.

I read an account of what it's like on the front line in Eastern Ukraine... survival means basically staying hidden during the day, when the other side uses drones as artillery spotters to find targets to lob shells at from miles away. 21st century trench warfare. нет спасибо, комрад.

Though over the last couple years, the shelling has apparently died way down; when we were there last month I saw, they had even dismantled the concrete road blocks that slowed down highway traffic & armed checkpoints that were there last time we visited (winter 2014).

It's crazy how long it's been going on. it's like a smoldering fire now, but it still has negative effects on both populations. unbelievably, fascist/Nazi imagery has grown more prevalent among Ukrainians, as kind of a "middle finger" to Russia. A lot of Ukrainians are horrified by that because the vast majority fought for the Soviet Union, and the Nazis plan was to depopulate Ukraine (as well as the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Belorus, Russia, etc) of all their native Slavik peoples.

wife and I went for a drink at a pub in Kiev, and on the way out, noticed they had a German WWII helmet painted with a swastika sitting on a shelf... you couldn't miss it. scary.
