Had some fun with this. Rules:
- When a tankie post comes up, post a legitimate, fair argument. Do not argue in bad faith. No matter how nasty the post may be. Legitimately combat the disinformation there by going into their bubble and posting a sane response.
- Watch the responses come in. Especially if the post is on the tankie triad.
- Don’t feed the trolls. Don’t respond to anything, unless there is actually a legitimate attempt to have a legitimate discussion. Otherwise, start a game of tankie bingo to help prevent yourself from responding to the madness.
Suggestions for expansion welcome.
That’s because he assumed NATO would do the logical thing of making sure Russia’s huge resource rich territory and strategic location wouldn’t help their other rival China by getting Russia on their side.
Throwing a tantrum and forcing Russia to get closer to China even though they would have happily sided with them just because the NATO ghouls were still salty about Putin not letting them turn Russia into a cheap labor vassal and loot its resources was objectively a stupid thing to do, hence why someone thinking about geopolitics logically would have had trouble seeing it coming.
Not letting Russia into the imperialism club was a huge strategic mistake in terms of maintaining capitalist hegemony. But was also an inevitable product of capitalist greed - NATO ghouls didn’t want to share the imperialism, they wanted to subject Russia to it too. The logic was simple - line go up was more important than long-term stability.
Thankfully, that greedy decision seems to be seriously leading to NATO’s downfall in the long run.
