    It’s like every time there’s a war everybody forgets how fucking long they take. WW2 took six years. The Vietnam War took almost 20 years, same with the Afghanistan War. Anybody expecting anything solid within the next couple years is delusional. Ukraine is in it for the long haul.

        “We shouldn’t help the rape victim and they should hope that it’s over quickly. Also, it’s actually not rape, it’s a special sexual operation and they deserved it.” - Tankies

          Funny how if you’re against another endless war you’re a tankie and support Putin…

          I’m neither a tankie nor I support Putin. But I also don’t support NATO and the Empire.

          But just as a note, most “tankies” don’t support Russia and know Putin is a conservative capitalist. I mean he is the direct result of the dismantling of the USSR by internal revisionists (tsarists and capitalists) and the CIA.

          But again, it’s the Iraq war all over again. And you libs are doing THE SAME THING. It’s hilarious.

            It is 2023. I am being called a tankie for opposing the escalation of a needless slaughter engineered by the western military industial complex.

            It is 2003. I am being called a Saddam lover for opposing the escalation of a needless slaughter engineered by the western military industial complex.

            It is 1969. I am being called a commie and probably also racial slurs for opposing the escalation of a needless slaughter engineered by the western military industial complex. manhattan
