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.

Similar deal doomed the Confederacy in the 1800s.
Scary thought is what happens when fascists seize the industrial advantage then do the fascism.
Actually wild how similar they were. Low in infrustructure, industry and manpower. Almost zero navy and under constant blockade. Won early battles before the oppositions full war machine was assembled, while in ground that favored them. But as soon as conditions changed they started losing. If it wasnt flat ground and it wasnt summer they were impotent.
But they had good officers and some of their soldiers had fancy rifles. Which means they tooooootaly should've won.
it's going to be the same when the US starts a war with China, after exporting its industrial capacity.
