"Ghost of The White Death claims first victim" ?
It's not that, recruitment was already through the roof during the first days. Westerners talk about freedom(s), but how many would actually volunteer to defend it?
Most would sit back and "Let someone else do it", just like they do for other things. Their idea of fighting for freedom (but only for them, the others are nazis) is organising a sit-in and smoking pot.
It's not the politicians that have gotten complacent, politicians say what they have to do to get elected, it's the people themselves. If there was no desire among the electorate for such policies politicians would never have put them forward, never mind enacting them.
Ergo you say: 'war criminal'

Er no.The US may not buy the story, but they tried very hard to sell made-up ones for preemptive reasons.
Bold, effective and risky: The new strategy the U.S. is using in the info war against Russia
“It doesn’t have to be solid intelligence,” one U.S. official said. “It’s more important to get out ahead of them [the Russians], Putin specifically, before they do something."www.nbcnews.com
And that's one of the things that may end up bitting the US in the ass when it's all over.
When you have multiple US officials acknowledging the US has used low-confidence and low-accuracy intelligence for deterrent effect, it's basically the US saying "yeah, we lied, it was all BS, but it worked". Like a magician explaining how his tricks really work.
On the long term, it may push America's allies to question the accuracy and veracity of shared intelligence.
Again "buying" and "selling" something is not the same in term of implications and impacts.
Your mixing up allies, and enemies.
They 'made stuff up' about Russia. Been done a million times, something about a trojan comes to mind.
I'm sure 5 eyes has a good rating system, for how solid info is.
Move along, literally nothing to see here.

I'll give him a week. Then he will join the long list of illustrious predecessors! Long will we revere them!

Poland delivers combat clothing as well, as I've seen numerous Ukrainian soldiers wearing a Polish body armour, even in the standard Polish camouflage.
On top of that, Poland does deliver some decommissioned anti-armour weapons.
RPG-76 Komar - Wikipedia
It's not a super duper hyper über AT weapon, but the grenade is able to pierce 260mm of steel which is enough to fvck up a BTR, a BMD or a BMP from any angle. Unlike the modern weapons like the NLAW or the Javelin, its warhead is armed instantly, so it does not require any minimum distance to destroy the target. It's great to be used from inside buildings, while the RPG-7 requires a lot of empty space behind you to be fired. It's light and portable, so it's great to be used for ambushes and targeting vehicles from windows on upper floors.

Problem is, markings and painting identify it as Ukrainian.
Possibly belonging to the same batch as that one fired ay Savur Mohila back in August / September 5 2017. At least the booster part.

You remember you were drawing parallels with the 1st Chechnya. It was so spot on. The parallels are staggering. After watching what was happening in the North for few days (Kiev, Chernigov, Sumy) I knew it was a military disaster in making. I mean sending mechanized columns deep into enemy controlled territory etc. Things were so f*cked up!
It immediately reminded me the New Years Eve Assault on Grozny in 1995 but on MUCH LARGER scale. Back in 1995 several batallions (most notably 131st mechanized brigade and 81st mechanized regiment) were wiped out due to f*cked up leadership by Pulikovsky. As a result the Afganistan veteran Lev Rokhlin stepped in to take command of what was left of Pulikovsky troops and won the Battle of Grozny.
So after watching all the sh*t happening in the North and Lapin f*cking up everything I was wondering who will become the nowdays Rokhlin to take command after the initial failure to sort the things out. Boom! Few weeks ago I came across Dvornikov. Chechnya and Syria veteran. After looking at his backgroing I thought to myself "We definately need this guy to run the whole thing!" And now after few weeks they put him in charge! Can you imagine? ITS SO F*CKING GOOD!!!!!!!!!!
So now the draw is guaranteed. No question about that. I predict Ukrainians will bled themselves dry in the following weeks trying to take back Russian held territory in the South under constant bombardment by RuAF. Then they will be forced to sign peace deal on our terms. This is the worst case scenario. But most likely Russians will push forward and gain more territory...
F*CK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I won't lie, I kind of enjoy it.
But I also don't.
Problem with that kind of system (Tochka): it is old, it is still used by many countries.
So, you have to look at markings, and how these markings are "marked".
Then determine what variant it is, then when the picture was taken, where. If reverse-search don't come up with anything and you are running out of key-words; cross reference hints.
Tochka is painted: who fields painted Tochkas? Where painted Tochkas have been seen? Wrecks of painted Tochkas are seen where?
It was either Ukraine, Armenia or Yemen. Syria fields Tochkas, outsourced from DPRK (and Russia back in 2017), but no results came up from that part of the world.
Apart from being out of Russia's inventory, Russians rarely painted their Tochkas, not even in Chechnya or Afghanistan.
What looks like a composite unit of the 4th Guards Tank Division (T-80Us, T-80BVMs, T-80BVs, BMP-2s) crossing the Severniy Donets river, probably around Izyum. This is the first I've seen of the announced redeployment of units (the 4th was previously fighting around Kharkov).
Now, what this tells me is the following:
1. Yes, the Russians are redeploying in force to the Donbass, with the probable aim of destroying the JFO units (something I thought would be the objective of Phase 1 before the war, without the parallel Kiev, Chernigov and Sumy fuckery).
2. The 4th GTD has been badly mauled. The diversity of the equipment probably means that this group is made up of various companies from different regiments of the division.
3. The rest of the division is probably being refitted and will rejoin the fight in about a month or so.
4. Inshallah, brothers morale very high. You don't send a unit whose ass has been kicked fairly recently (and it has) and which is demoralized as well, to an attack operation. My guess is that these men are pissed off (at their higher command as much as the Ukrainians, but that's another subject altogether) and eager for revenge.
