It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
I wonder how that would have played out. The Russians still have Soviet-era records of military installations, so big hidden caches of weapons like in Iraq are out. Western support could probably still come through but probably only a matter of time before the Ukrop resistance blows up a school bus by accident and the West gets squeamish.
Unlike in Iraq where there's radical differences in culture, language, and history, how long before the average Ukrainian gets sick of living in European Falluja and starts snitching on the people blowing shit up?
If the insurgency can't get up to much more than random stochastic terrorism, that's probably not going to get them independence. The Chechans got up for far more and the Russians didn't cave then.
Lol, the West actively supports death squads in central and south america with nary a fucking care.
The school bus was carrying Western school children on their mandatory annual "Learn from Father Bandera" trip.
