CNN —

The Biden administration is moving toward lifting a de facto ban on American military contractors deploying to Ukraine, four US officials familiar with the matter told CNN, to help the country’s military maintain and repair US-provided weapons systems.

The change would mark another significant shift in the Biden administration’s Ukraine policy, as the US looks for ways to give Ukraine’s military an upper hand against Russia.

The policy is still being worked on by administration officials and has not received final sign-off yet from President Joe Biden, officials said.

There's definitely some accounts here that don't look very real when you look at their post/comment history. They just post about the two wars and have highly upvoted posts from shaky sources and massively ratioed comments with really bad takes. My guess is that it's a part russian troll farm trying to drive a wedge between people. The account was eight weeks old, too.

runssia don't give a fuck about lemmy, some peolpe are just deranged lol

Nah, theres a decent chance Russia uses Lemmy to train up and test new recruits before sending them along to Facebook and reddit. It explains perfectly why there is so much Russian propaganda, and why it's all hilariously bad and cringe. And also where Dessalines gets his paycheck.

Russian propaganda is coming from the tankies from .ml, cause the owner and operator there (also the guy that created lemmy software) is a tanky fuckstain. So him and all his tankie brotatos over there regularly sup on russian cock and sip the KGBKoolaid

Occasionally one of the mouth breathers gets the bright idea to register an account on a different shard so they arent obviously a .ml, but they are still obviously tankies

To be fair, US Republican and Russian ideologies have been aligning faster since 2016 so it may be hard to differentiate them here

Who's Dessalines? The name sounds familiar, but I can't remember much else.

that's some lemmygrad level of conspiracy theory
