      TBF Krause, not so long ago when I noticed your avatar, pointed out that communist East Germany did some pretty nasty stuff, and gave plenty of evidence to support that assertion, you called that a fairytale too.

      I don’t think it’s a stretch to say you might be a bit biased, and we should probably take your comments with a mountain of salt too.

          Pathetic.

          Yet another cosplay communist, who spends his days defending the oligarchs and corrupt nomenklatura who accelerated the catastrophic fall of the Soviet Union, stole billions from their starving countrymen, and now run Russia. You know, people like Yeltsin’s friend Putin.

          If I was right wing, I would find it funny. Unfortunately unlike you I’m actually left-wing, so I find it deeply embarassing and sad.

          I hope you grow out of it, that this is just childish contrarianism and a lack of historical knowledge, but let’s be real. You probably won’t.

      Tbh on second thought it probably should. I haven’t seen any confirmation of any downed Su-34s, which you’d think Ukraine would be extremely eager to post.

    Background: On 22 December, Ukrainian defenders shot down three Russian Su-34 fighter-bombers on the southern front.

    Dude… its been three fucking days. Unless the drop in air sorties went from dozens down to zero and stay that way for weeks to a month, this means absolutely nothing.

    Just wait till the F-16 sorties start.

    You won’t be able to swing a cat in here without hitting a whining tankie symp.

        The latest lemmy update allows users to block entire instances.

        My lemmy experience has been 100 times better with hexbear and lemmygrad blocked.

            Except they were the ones that created Lemmy in the first place so they could live in their own little echo chamber so if anyone’s guilty of running away to hide from criticism it’s them not the general public. You know because most people don’t think communism is great. Mostly because they either saw it, learned about it, or lived through it.

              Communists didn’t choose to move to our own spaces, we had to because we were systematically banned from others.

              Mostly because they either saw it, learned about it, or lived through it.

              Funny how people who say this inevitably did none of these things.

            Eh, I’m here to relax and have fun.

            Not be told I’m a piece of shit who deserves to be executed because I had the audacity to be born every ten minutes.

      The same F-16s that were outclassed by the J-17 in recent military exercises?

      Pakistani pilots are on record saying the F-16 is worse in basically every way compared to a design China considers to be “budget” and “outdated.”

        Let’s pretend for a minute that it is actually better. Russia doesn’t field the J-17, so it doesn’t matter.

          China recognizes that the J-17 is outclassed by the Su-34, so it sort of does matter…
