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

Comrade the SMO objectives are demilitarization which a grinding war of attrition will yield by the depletion of military supplies as well as the casualties wrought upon the Ukrainians. Russia holds the territory that voted to join the Russian Federation so they have succeed in that objective, the objectives of denazifying the Ukrainian military is achieved by the aforementioned demilitarization so what exactly are you getting at?
There are many informed sources discussing the pros and cons of the pivot from a maneuver based doctrine into a attrition based one however we cannot judge this until the SMO is over, but at this juncture I can state that the Ukranian counter-offensive is a failure, this is supported by many western sources.
This is not some Civilization 6 based war where controlling a capitol is the objective, we have seen the utter devastation sustained by the NATO forces by engaging in Russian lines with the tactics they trained on, other posts touch on the fact that once Ukranians abandon such training and resort to Soviet doctrine there is the success of taking small villages however trench/artillary based warfare does not favor Ukraine and it is in their best interest to negotiate a second cease fire, but the Boris Johnson simalcrum that is the military industrial complex will not permit this.
