The media won’t give me great answers to this question and I think this I trust this community more, thus I want to know from you. Also, I have heard reports that Russia was winning the war, if that’s true, did the west miscalculate the situation by allowing diplomacy to take a backseat and allowing Ukraine to a large plethora of military resources?

PS: I realize there are many casualties on both sides and I am not trying to downplay the suffering, but I am curious as to how it is going for Ukraine. Right now I am hearing ever louder calls of Russia winning, those have existed forever, but they seem to have grown louder now, so I was wondering what you thought about it. Also, I am somewhat concerned of allowing a dictatorship to just erase at it’s convenience a free and democratic country.

        Tankie is to liberals as woke is to conservatives but y’all aren’t ready for that conversation

          Tankie seems more targeted then woke. Woke is everything left of Reagan sometimes.

          Tankie is, at it’s most general, anyone supporting authoritarian measures for “left” wing reasons.

              Jt does support statist solutions. I mean so do I so yeah he’s not a tankie to me, but for some anarchy is the only acceptable end game.

              Again it’s not generally a “too left” thing, but “too authoritarian” thing.
