Need to be the akshually guy here. Russia is a deeply authoritarian state which has gotten a lot more authoritarian post war. However, it isn't fascist yet.

Yeah maybe it isn't considered to be yet. However it's pretty rich to hear pro Russian people calling Ukraine fascists as Russia continues move towards fascism.

The tankies love to slurp up Russian propaganda that Ukraine are fascists and that's why Russia are the good guys. If Russia isn't fascist then I don't know which country is, but if there were a scale then Russia is significantly closer to fascism than Ukraine.

I didn't say anything about Russia. Don't change the subject.

A report released in January by the Pentagon Inspector General’s office found that the Defense Department failed to conduct proper end-use oversight on more than $1 billion worth of military equipment — nearly forty thousand weapons — sent to Ukraine.

Much more likely its regular old US military corruption or weapon manufacturer corruption along with smuggling on the border.

It may be the USA sending the weapons, but its with the backing of Ukraine's EU neighbors, part of NATO, who completely support them.
