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

a) Fascist scum b) what village

[–] usernamesaredifficul@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

there's this village that they have been fighting over a the initial stages of their attempt to take the azov sea region. Their original plan relied on them taking this village months ago because they needed to take it in order to safely reach the begining of the Russian defences. So now they have it but it required three divisions and months longer than they planned for

so technically it's a success but the fact it's happening now and the way it happened is indicative of their offensive being dead in the water

The point is more the background - have they taken the village, or have they taken the rubble of what used to be the village.

I saw a picture of the village a few days ago. The impression I got was that it has been pretty heavily shelled but also it looked like it was not a nice place to live even before there was a war. A little column A a little column B

Huh, I didn't get a notification for this reply.

RIP Village though
