dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Do these people not realize Ukraine is a soviet country too? If using soviet standards the Russia Ukraine war is a civil war.

No, the average American has always viewed the Soviet Union as just Russia, and uses the two terms interchangeably. This is even funnier when you consider that Soviet Ukraine quite literally had its own representative in the UN, but of course the average American also knows nothing about the UN.

I actually would argue that we’re in a long Soviet civil war period post 1991 (counting all post Soviet conflicts)

Soviet rump states fighting over the scraps while Yeltsin opens his trenchcoat and asks if anyone wants to buy any state industries at 80% discount.
