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 [email protected]
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

Yeah us tankies hate it when the imperial core pisses off the rest of the world and unites them into a de facto anti-imperialist bloc. Noooo don’t do that!
Do these gloating warmonger idiots even for a second stop to think if their glorious empire could take on China, Iran and Russia simultaneously? This is a war they could never hope to win yet they are eagerly cheerleading it on. Literal death drive.
The US would have no chance. Russia alone can outproduce all of the imperial west in artillery shells by multiples. China has immense industrial capacity and a naval shipbuilding capacity that far exceeds anywhere else in the world. Both countries have access to fleet-ruining hypersonic missiles.
If China decides to reassert its sovereignty over Taiwan, the choice will be let China do it and do business with them as normal or blow up the entire world economy for years if not decades. The loss of shareholder value will be so massive in the latter that I'd have to assume the US would just let it happen.
Agreed. NATO can't even beat Russia alone, and China, when stirred, will make Russia look like a minor power.
Except weirdly enough, South Korea.
This is dangerous thinking. We shouldn't underestimate the willingness of the US to go to war.
In my view because of this a proper WW3 won't happen soon, no one with enough money to pull the strings wants to risk it. Plenty of money for more proxy wars and economic espionage though.
Time is running out for the US to even lie about its "dominance" though. Soon enough the lies won't even work and then it's time for war.
The US can't win a war against Afghanistan, how the fuck could it possibly win against any ONE of those countries, much less all three at the same time?
