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 [email protected]

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

Russians are employing this dastardly new technology called "mines" which no army on earth has encountered before, least of all those of the NATO members like France, Germany and the UK.

Meanwhile, I'm just here thinking "Wait, people think it's not happening quickly?"

I mean, I haven't looked at any maps in a hot minute, but each time I check, it seems Ukraine controls more territory? People get that it's a real war right? "Quick" is relative.

Real talk, this person is deeply disturbed, and they need to grow up

No federation, but aren't mines a war crime because they outlast the war and hurt civilians?

Most of the world agreed to ban mines in the Ottowa Convention, but as usual the countries that really matter (US, Russia, China, etc.) didn't sign it and aren't bound by it.

Who are we dunking on here? That lemming or NATO? Because the lemming is absolutely correct.

oh dang the enemy used mines! my one weakness!

You seem to be under the delusion thats there's well known solution to mine fields. Russia did a good strategy.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm merely stating that Ukraine shouldn't be doing an offensive against mined areas without air superiority. "NATO tactics" apparently seems to be code for "having more jets and drones and fighting poor unarmed militias"
