In my post
I did see some go for ~3k around that before this current mess thanks to Trump's ban on imported Russian guns but even at ~$3k still nuts IMHO.
But look at Dragunovs, $500 rifles before their import was banned back under Bush Sr., or was it Clinton?, that sell for ~$20k+ now.

Fox News reports:

Russia orders deployment of cadets: Ukrainian Defense Ministry
Ukrainian defense officials claimed Sunday to have obtained documents that indicate Russia has ordered the deployment of cadets to Ukraine.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly told his people that the army is not utilizing cadets, but photos of the documents posted online indicate that Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu has signed an order to the contrary.

The deployment will see Yunarmia cadets aged 17 and 18 pushed to the frontlines in Ukraine.

Haven't yet seen confirmation from a non-Ukrainian source.

What's happened so far today?

If you are just catching up with the morning headlines, here's a short summary of what is going on in Ukraine today.

    The dire situation in the port city of Mariupol continues, with some 300,000 people trapped without power, food or water amid intense bombardment
    Ukraine has ignored Russia's demand it gives up the city by 05:00 Moscow time, saying Russian promises to allow people out of the siege could not be trusted
    A Ukrainian MP from Mariupol says Russia is trying to starve out the citizens, but the city will not surrender
    Ukrainian authorities say at least six people were killed when a shopping centre and a number of houses were hit in the Podilskyi district of Kyiv
    People are being advised to shelter after a 50-tonne tank containing poison gas was damaged during shelling of a chemical plant near the city of Sumy, causing a toxic ammonia leak
    The mayor of Kyiv has announced a curfew in the capital from 2000 local time on Monday to 0700 local time on Wednesday
    Lithuania’s foreign minister says the EU must maintain pressure on Russia and "cannot get tired" of imposing sanctions

Yeah, I got an e-mail from [not really]Remington.

If [not really]Remington really wanted to help Ukraine, they'd run a batch of 7.62x39 and ship it over.

5.45 for the Army.
Their older reserve rifles are in 7.62x39 though
Is Remington even tooled up to produce either?

Is Remington even a pro-gun, pro-Ukraine company?  After the latest bankruptcy, who knows what is going on with them.

Are they getting ready to allege more election interference from Russia? I.e., stuff that will make the Trump-Russia hoax "look like Jim Eagle"?

I think this goes here. I'm not necessarily a Candace Owens fan, but this was great. The NYT asked her to provide information on where she got the crazy idea that Ukraine was corrupt, because her "ideas" matched what Russian state media was saying. She replied that she got them from the NYT, and provided links. 

Naturally, as all the corrupt MSM does, they sent her the email as the story was being "finalized", hoping they didn't get a reply on time while being able to say they asked her for one.

The YouTube video on the page you linked would seem to answer that question.

They are pretty good, but after you eat one you get hungry again 30 minutes later.

From the caption on one of the pictures in the article:

Ukrainian servicemen get ready to repel an attack in Ukraine’s Lugansk region on February 24, 2022. – Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Thursday, killing dozens and forcing hundreds to flee for their lives in the pro-Western neighbour.

"Killing dozens and forcing hundreds to flee for their lives" sounds like a bad weekend in Chicago, or maybe a Syrian/Palestinian rocket attack into Israel.  Not a full-scale invasion of a country with a population of 40 million or more.

It's so hard to take any news seriously any more.

Who is "Task and Purpose?"  What's their schtick and claim to credibility?
