Let’s have like an ounce of skepticism and contextual analysis. Yeah some surplus engines were probably thrown Ukraine’s way. No that gear would not have made an iota of difference because even if ukr was somehow sent planes (doubt), the sticking point was the wind being too strong to even fly planes. Fuck the empire but this seems wholly irrelevant
That’s what a whole lot of the right-wing outrage is
‘can you believe liberal LA did with their firefighting stuff’ completely ignored the root cause of the problem and why the fires have been so destructive
