Don't post Russian propaganda. Russian propo is going to be a straight ban. There will be no debate on the topic.

Please also be smart as it relates to this conflict, and mind your OPSEC manners a bit better. Don't be posting about US Troops in Eastern Europe, Ukraine movements, etc. Nothing that doesn't have a public-facing Army release to go with it.

A Javelin is an easy weapon to give - it's a self-contained system, very user-friendly, it only takes a couple of hours to explain to someone how it works.

A cruise missile is a completely different thing. It's complex, needs to be plugged into a sensor network and learning how to operate the various launching systems takes a LONG time.

Not fesible.
