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 chapos. Wreckers/CHUDs are allowed. If they aren't banned yet then report them, don't post them.

This is tankie Russian propaganda. NATO doesn't just target ex Soviet Countries, it targets the whole world.

Putin who was Prime Minister at the time actually openly criticized President Medvedev for not vetoing the resolution at the UN Security Council [resolution number 1973]. This was the first major fallout between Putin and Medvedev back in 2011.

Medvedev was very keen to please Obama, among many things he signed a massive deal with Boeing that led to the disintegration of the Russia aviation industry, one of the last legacies of the Soviet Union. It’s a miracle that they still managed to revive the industry somewhat with the MC-21, and this effort has since been helped greatly by Western sanctions after the war in Ukraine.
