It’s fair to call the Cape Tarkhankut site the linchpin of Russian air and naval defenses across the Black Sea. Which is why the Ukrainian armed forces blew it up.
I had to reread that twice to realize you weren't upset at hexagons, and was wondering where you had found graphics of the Ukrainian war superimposed on turn based battle hex maps
lemmy.world defederated from a instance full of pro-russia shitheel trolls who would ruin any discussions regarding Ukraine. It's very nice not having to scroll through their propaganda.
Being pro Russia because you're pro communist is so fucking weird to me. The Russian federation is an imperialist capitalist oligarchical fascist state.
I swear to god it seemed like there was a massive shift in pro Russian sentiment when we all found out Russia had interfered in the 2016 election because
Obama was doing sanctions about it and a certain group of people is always anti Obama, regardless of what that means, politically
Russia had interfered on behalf of the guy they wanted, therefore Russian interference good
Logic has no place in that weird mob mentality. They're basically pro fascism, just you know the fascists that aren't Western. Makes it good fascism somehow.
The lengths to which they cry just because people use the word "tankie" is ludicrous. They also have this custom to equate "tankie" and "communist" the same way not too politically literate right wingers do.
Yeah it's all down to the political spectrum bullshit. Far left and far right are complete opposite ends of the spectrum so therefore completely antithetical to one another!
Meanwhile in the real world, fascists and communists (well at least the Leninist/Maoist/Stalinist ones) are all just authoritarians with slightly different rationalizations for it. I kinda feel like the only reason the concept of left/right political spectrum even exists is so some authoritarians in academic circles can claim to be nothing like the Nazis.
Half of them are the obnoxious trust fund goons who lived on your floor in the dorms and had posters of Che on their walls. They generally came from wealth and this anti-capitalist rhetoric is just them rebelling against their parents. Their dad is probably a non-practicing jew who drives a VW Phaeton . They don't know their birth mothers too well but their step moms are probably women who graduated from high school two classes ahead of themselves. The obnoxious goons who base their entire personality on these kinds of interactions, they pride themselves on being "disliked for speaking truth to power".
The other half are shitheel trolls who are too wrapped up in their own attempts at edgy bullshit to understand the difference between "it's just a joke, bro" and "just drink the fucking kool-aid, bro".
Neither of those groups have any sense of self awareness.
Kinda. They still appear with a message telling you that they are blocked. You can press a button to show the comment anyway. It is like a soft block where you can decide whether you want to read a comment or not.
