    Watched a great video by a guntuber interviewing a couple of British mercenaries fighting in Ukraine. Solid info on what they carried, what they did not carry, arms, meds, etc. Neither of them were dressed out like these, uh, men.

    Let that sink in a moment. Men actively engaged in a modern battlefield weren’t geared up like these, uh, cosplayers. Yeah, they looked much the same, to the untutored eye.

    I’m merely a middle-aged, liberal gun nut, but money says I could run circles around these, uh, “fighters”, on a battlefield. Know why? One simple reason: I actually practice with my gear, not a dress rehearsal. Every time I take a hike to the creek I’m hauling 25lbs. of backpack, plus a rifle and pistol and ammo, and whatever else, in all weather. Just to skinny dip! And if I get in deep shit in the woods or rivers or creeks, I can survive fairly comfortably. Did I mention I’m a total amateur with no official training? Know why I do that? Because of the men pictured here.

    All that to say, best video I’ve seen on confronting ICE. This needs to go viral, all Americans need to see this. It’s changed my view on how we might actually fight these fascists.

    I’ll only add this; Yes. They might shoot you for confronting them. Bravery is standing up when you are terrified.
