Some posters are like "wipe it down with oil and it will be fine, it's an AK" but seeing what looks like a lot more than light surface rust on some examples would make me want to take it down before agreeing.
Given the reputation that AK's have earned the hard way about being able to take an inordinate amount of abuse and still manage to put rounds downrange, I'm thinking an overnight soak in kerosene or MEK and enthusiastically drop testing them several times to shake things loose would do the job of getting quite a few of those exhumed relics serviceable again.
I see light surface rust and I'm mostly "meh" probably ok. I see heavy pitting and a lot of thick rust around the receiver ends Imma want to take a look inside.
Looks more like a "marinate in a barrel of motor oil" job to me. Then a few hours of scrubbing. I'd probably go find some drunk retiree and talk him into a bolt swap. I'm sure there are some there who are tappin their heads all "You can't be marched into battle if you can't even stand up" *swigs more vodka*

If I'd been handed one of the guns earlier in the thread and sent off to the front with winter looming I think I'd probably try to spend all the time drunk!
At least they packed for the trip.
That's not good.
Some a lot more easily than others, I'm afraid. I haven't read the UN Charter.The great thing about rules is that you can change em.
Yes.Almost sounds comical if Russia, a permanent member can veto its own expulsion.

Twitter thread says not a missile! Contrail of a plane heading towards the camera.

Yes.
Seems like the whole idea of nations. The only way to defeat an intransigent nation is with brute force or economic strangulation (there are soft declensions, nuances of these, of course, often euphemized, "diplomacy"). In Russia's case, their strategy concerning Ukraine is like that of an amoeba, assimilation through absorption and digestion.Rules lawyering doesn’t work with nation states if they decide to do it. There’s no court of appeal.
