Didn’t realize those billions in aid were for tractors.

They stopped Russia with tractors.

Now they're pushing them back with real gear.

Jokerfication: when you kind of pity someone for being this propagandized, but laugh at them because it's pretty funny

Yes... I am the propagandized one.

Not the rural poor being marched off to die for half the price of a lada they'll never receive for an oligarch's pride.

All I can say is: Please, PLEASE! Make sure they keep marching.

You claim they started with tractors. This is utter nonsense; the AFU started the war as a legitimate military, especially after it took the decade following the Minsk agreements to arm up in anticipation of this war.

You also claim they are pushing Russia back despite the front not moving appreciably in the past year, even during the latest vaunted counteroffensive.

Remember, libs dont know anything about the context pre-war. It was all Putins desire to conquer ukraine.
