This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

Undoubtedly retribution for the Ukrainian civilians killed two days ago. Disclaimer: I am not trying to excuse this, I'm just explaining

The Kiev regime doesn't care about its civilians. This was retaliation for the very painful strikes on AFU military assets that Russia inflicted a few days ago, including yet again obliterating important Ukrainian air defense systems, hitting the few air fields Ukraine has left where it can launch long range strikes from, and wiping out a bunch of logistical nodes full of gear.

The more that Russia cripples Ukraine's military capabilities the more the Ukronazis will try to take it out on the softest possible targets which are the only ones they can still reliably hit. This usually means civilians. It's how they boost morale internally after a major defeat and create a distraction for the international audience while showing their sponsors that they are "still in the fight".
