Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and no bigotry of any kind.
  2. No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
  3. 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.

This is a NATO proxy war in that NATO, an organization created to provide European countries protection from Russia's territorial ambitions, is providing assistance to a European country to help protect them from Russia's territorial ambitions.

Perfectly stated. Definitely sums up NATO's involvement.

Excuse me. I was told there would be a deep state? Are we not doing deep state anymore?

Oh, we'd better be still doing a deep state. The only thing that helped me make it through inflation was the Soros Bucks from all the paid protesting I've been doing.

Well, Moskva got sunk pretty deep, and that's a ship of the Russian state. Does that count?

Oh, wait, no, that's the shallow ship of state. I just checked the bathymetry survey of the Black sea. Carry on.
