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

Rules:

  1. 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.

See here's the thing: whether the US has done something before has no bearing on whether Russia is justified in doing it.

See here's the thing: I didn't say Russia is justified in doing what it is doing.
