Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- Be civil and no bigotry of any kind.
- No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
- No genocide denial
We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. For a more general community [email protected] is recommended.

Argh. That Chinese guy at the MSC gave me a headache about that one. Paraphrasing: "China does consider the Russian invasion a result of NATO expansion: The Russians think that you're stepping on their toes, they think in influence spheres, and neither we nor you can change their mind about that".
More or less "you bumped into a stupid drunk, now they're hitting you, what did you expect, the drunk to not be stupid?"
