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

In which a former CEO of Google defines winning as "having another unsuccessful counteroffensive and ceding territory to Russia." Goalposts are moving folks.

Originally posted to c/news but I think between it being an opinion piece and my editorializing it probably belongs here.

Attention all Congress patriots: Vlodymyr Zelensky is in great danger and he needs your help to wipe out the Russians in the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant, but to do this he needs an F-35 Fighter Jet and a couple thousand of artillery shells. To help him, all he needs is your credit card number, the three digits on the back, and the expiration month and year. But, you gotta be quick, so Vlodymyr Zelensky can secure the bag and achieve the epic NATO Membership!!

I think that's the most grotesque thing. He acknowledges up front it won't work, they need to throw a generation into the blender so they can learn that they can't win the fucking war and need to see negotiating as winning.

Fucking terrifying.

have witnessed the terrible human toll of the war in Ukraine. But Putin refuses to make peace unless Ukraine surrenders its sovereignty.

Bruv they've already lost their sovereignty, just not to Russia. Also, these liberal ghouls seem to think that war is fought between autonomous artillery systems? How many Ukrainians must die before enough have been sacrificed on the altar of NATO and western capital?

More like Eric Shidt amirite

War is a crucible of progress, and Ukraine needs the support necessary to give it the time to innovate.

That guy is doing some ai drone business/grift. Of course he wants the war to go on. He gets attention, funding, human test subjects. Writing these articles is like a free advertising for him.
