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.

In this case it would've been avoided by the US not staging a coup and trying to cut Russia off from important oil and gas markets (which make up its largest exports).

Ah so Ukraine can avoid being invaded by ensuring its government is always pro Russian and its people are always buying Russian products?

Being pro-US and always doing the bidding of the US is how countries avoid being invaded or having a coup done in their country by the US. Guess that's just the nature of imperialist asshole nations.

If imperialist asshole nations are bad, then the fewer of them there are, the better. Qed.
