An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.
Rules:
Be a decent person.
No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.

But its used to destroy a several million dollar tank.
I don't know why they constantly trim it, but the full quote is "Each Javelin round costs $80,000, and the idea that it's fired by a guy who doesn't make that in a year at a guy who doesn't make that in a lifetime is somehow so outrageous it almost makes the war seem winnable." It's from a book about Afghanistan.
Full of people that will never see $30,000 in their lives. Fighting for people that live luxurious lives in Europe.
We send billions and billions to Ukraine.
And you conveniently forgot to remember that russia can stop it all by just stopping and going home.
Ukraine is being invaded. We're not sending it to the invaders.
Wut?
In Ukraine a $500 drone can destroy a million dollar tank these days.
That awkward/ironical moment when a literal flying brick of explosives can do the same damage as an advanced rocket system without costing a fortune.
