Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- 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.
Curious about non-tankie leftism? If you've got a little patience for 19th century academic style, let a little Marx and Kropotkin be your primer!
Marx's Communist Manifesto, short and accessible! Highly recommended if you haven't read it

Renowned tankie Joseph Robinette Biden (and other foreign policy experts) was warning already back in 97 that NATO expansion would lead to a violent Russian response. That's well before he went senile and was elected president. So maybe the third row of the picture should move to the top.
What nato expansion
There's a Wikipedia page called NATO enlargement. You can also Google the Biden quote and see what he's referring to.
If nato enlargement is a problem we should also abolish police cause it makes criminals feel insecure.
What a well researched take! Good job, buddy!
Fuck russia.
I'm glad I had the opportunity to have this conversation with you, you seem like an intellectual powerhouse.
We don't negotiate with putinists.
