You think that's enough? Or do we still need to give them more money?
(Let's take note that the citizens are still poor, and Ukraine is still losing, reportedly still being outgunned as well)
Uhh, wat? Ukraine is currently regaining territory from Russia, how are they losing?
Fucking tankies.
Unfortunately this is lemmy.ml, which means the place is crawling with tankies. The admins of this instance are openly tankies, and I've seen so many braindead stupid takes from people who can't see anything beyond "USA bad".
for real, I've never seen such a concentration of fascist bootlickers in one place
