The page also says Iranian attack failed because the damage wasn't significant. Like, they were talking on CNN about Iran warning everyone beforehand and not sending everything at once to limit damage.

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.

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

Anybody else remember the beginning of the SMO in Ukraine where the USA talking heads were like, "Russia hasn't blasted every city off the map and caused untold civilian causalities in the first weeks of the war... so Russia is gong to lose any minute now..."?
Libs got REALLY mad when you contrasted how Russia was conducting itself in the invasion to how Israel is.
Oh man, compare Bakhmut (a battle with tens of thousands of soldiers fought over ten months) to Fallujah (a battle with thousands of soldiers fought over six weeks) - 200 civilians versus 800. Obviously there's no good amount of collateral damage but the way America and its proxies conduct their wars is clearly more destructive than the norm for the rest of the world.
Liberals were insisting that the Wagner Group was doing a straight up Nazi Cosplay as they Blitzkregged towards Poland. But then also Ukraine's Ghost of Kiev had single-handedly shot down half the Russian air force.
Azov were freedom fighters rescuing all the beautiful blonde-haired blue eyed babies. Russia was in the midst of a pogrom against the Uber-volk. Half the Russian population had just been killed in an ill-conceived human wave attack against stout Ukrainian defenses. Then we got an earful about how the Spring Offensive would end in Moscow.
I think the craziest part of the war was when Prigozhin tried his coup and the Ukrainian front lines did not move. Like, if there was ever a fucking moment for western forces to reclaim territory, it was when Moscow was being evaluated and half of Wagner Group was racing towards the capital. But they just sat on their thumbs in confused shock, waiting for the next shoe to drop. This was the full extent of what Germany, France, the UK, and the US could bring to bare against Russia. Stunned silence as half of Putin's active duty military turn coat.
What a fucking clown parade.
