Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- Be civil and no bigotry of any kind.
- No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
- No genocide denial
We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. For a more general community !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works is recommended.

Russia already has what, four or five NATO members states on their doorstep: The Balkan states, now Finland, Turkey is pretty close and controls the Bosporus… and Poland borders Belarus which is a client state of Russia now.
Yeah Russian has taken some major Ls in that department recently. Russia's strategy historical was to have buffer states so they had room to fall back before their enemies reach anything they cared about. Now with Finland NATO could line tanks up to roll into Saint Petersburg if a war ever broke out.
