"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!

Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. β Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech β You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia β (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism β No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion β Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

Buddy was claiming 8 months ago that Pokrovsk would be taken in the "near future" and the Kursk incursion would buy no more than a few months... Even with North Korean troops stationed in Kursk helping them reduce the need to split troops, Russian forces still haven't made it to Pokrovsk yet.
He said:
Ukraine is probably at the forefront of the world at this point in terms of producing combat drones.
They depend on the West for intelligence support, missiles and anti-air and the high-tech kit of the 20th century, and raw mass of ammunition. They're far from self-sufficient. But they are also set up to be a weapons-production powerhouse in the future if they survive the war in some independent form.
Edit: Also, Russia is outspending Ukraine+allies roughly ten to one in this war. They like to whine as if it is cheating for anyone to give Ukraine any help at all, as if the West is just propping up Ukraine with raw money power, but all the aid is doing is reducing that ratio down from 20-to-1 which it would be, to 10-to-1. The money level spent on the war is not the reason why they've been losing.
Says the country using north Korean and Iranian weapons and soldiers.
