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

Aside from this being complete fantasy, do these freaks know that they're proving Putin is right for not trusting the west when they openly talk about carving up Russia like this? I assume not since they're unironically drawing 21st century versions of Generalplan Ost. eu-cool

Also, this map has some very bizzare internal borders

Here's how we bring Russia to heel:

Step 1: Add Iceland to the EU

[–] [email protected] 40 points 11 months ago

It will be used as a launching pad to invade the us. Once the us is European, Russia will be invaded thru Alaska. Putin will never see it coming

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago

only socdems and the rightists who are currently out of government have any desire to join the EU in Iceland.

it's already in the EEA, which is fine for most people

One the main justifications for supporting Ukraine from libs is “Putin is imperialist and must be stopped or he will try and take over Europe.”

Putin has been in power for I think a bit over 25 years? In that time, I think the only wars Russia has been involved in were in Chechnya and Dagestan? Maybe Georgia? No offense to those places, but there are plenty of counties in the US that are larger than those places. Not to mention the geopolitics of those situations surely don’t dictate they are simply wars of imperialist aggression. The war in Ukraine is by far the largest operation Russia has undertaken with Putin at the helm. And by all indications Russia is only interested in the Russian speaking parts of eastern Ukraine - Ukraine could probably have peace right now if they would be willing to write off those provinces they’ve de facto lost already.

But other than that, how has Russia been “imperialist”? Never even considered invading other bordering countries like Kazakstan or Mongolia. It strains credulity to think Russia would attack a NATO country. Not only are there no real avenues for imperialist aggression, Putin has had 25 years to be imperialist and hasn’t done it yet.

Meanwhile westerners like this person just can’t wait to finish the job of carving up Russia that they started in 1991.

Russia is imperialist because it has close relations and ties to other nations like Belarus

The more nations you're friends with the more imperialister you are

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago

Then why am I always told about how Americans are imperialist?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

We're getting up in arms over social-imperialism again?

Oh Mr. Simpleton over here, you've got it all wrong. The evil Putler has committed atrocities in Afghanistan, Syria, Libya (hey who ruined that place again? Can't remember...), generally speaking all over Africa, and even helped elect DONAL DRUMPF in 2016.

Care a little more about or democracy and freedom now, huh?

Just make sure to vote and President Biden will send another 250 billbjon dollarios to Kyiev.

As soon as Russia is completely defeated, we'll get universal healthcare, at least while the dems stay in power. Got it???

Step 1. Build largely pointless bridges

Step 2. Coup Belarus

Step 3. Magically have more power

Step 4. Start WW3 with Russia, world ravaged by nukes

Ah yes, all problems now solved

Step 4. Start WW3 with Russia, world ravaged by nukes

I've had people tell me they don't believe Russias nukes work so that's fine actually, nothing bad will happen

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago

repeatedly explaining that you can't make nuclear safety decisions based on wishy thinking and vibes

Stalin's paranoia about Western Europe's designs on Russia continue to be vindicated.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 11 months ago (3 children)

The Soviet Union was invaded by every major European power in the aftermath of the revolution and again a few years later by Nazi Germany, it was never paranoia.

It was never paranoia, they were like that since Tallyerand became Napoleon advisor.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Stalin should have pushed past Berlin and integrated the West European SSR.

I've seen eurolibs flip the antiziganism switch and go from Gandhi to literally Hitler in like 5 seconds. Nothing surprises me about euro brainworms anymore.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Have you read Gandhi's letters to Hitler? It wasn't really that far of a leap

We should unironically do more EU balkanization maps. Germany goes back to the tollbooth castle phase of the HRE. Half of France becomes Vichy France. Spain goes to Manchukuo.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Germany goes back to the tollbooth castle phase of the HRE.

Germany goes back to nothing.

Iceland, Norway, Switzerland etc being forced to join lol

[–] [email protected] 30 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

Ok but who gets Kaliningrad? No matter what someone is going to get mad and there will be infighting. And who expands into Russia and where? Will a new liberal Russia be created in it's place? Or will it be suppressed? There would be more infighting among nations. And how will Belarus get treated? Will it be partitioned too? What about rampant rusophobia? Will Belarusian and Russian languages be suppressed?

Eh I'm asking genocidal libs to think more than they are able to. That just want to watch people die is all. They love war crimes as long as a cracker does them...

Belarus will take Lithuania, and every time someone complains, it will continue north.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago

Belarusians are the true Litvins! FAKE balts imposters should get out.

This is of course a fantasy because Federal Europe would never last long enough for that to happen.

No I agree, we should get a socialist Union of Europe so we can invite Russia in it too!
