dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

At least landlocked is a good move for Russia, strategically. Would connect to Transnitria and eliminate Ukrainian claims to Black Sea resources, namely oil and gas. Aside from the direct material value of those resources, if they remain Ukrainian they will be exploited for conflict by Western powers. However, it also depends on how well Russia could maintain stability in areas outside Donbas.
