This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

We never know since its all based on the producer specifications but i would be very greatly surprised if US MIC didn't do planned obsolescence.

But even simple explosives like in artillery ammo or bombs do have expiration date, for example for TNT it's 35 years. But it can be significantly prolonged by proper storage, for example Russia uses 50 year old bombs in Ukraine with no problem. And those ATACMS also worked 9 years after that expiration date.

Landmine insides sadly do count as "proper storage" for explosives, after all they have to lie in wet and cold earth.
