It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

But have you considered that Saddam was selling oil in euro instead of USD at the time?

9/11 was just a pretense/opportunity for the US to get involved in Iraq, just like the Maidan Revolution in 2013 Ukraine was an opportunity for the US to break up the Russia-Europe gas deal, as the newly constructed Nord Stream pipeline began to pump natural gas into Europe in 2011.

Whether it was Iraq, or Ukraine, the goal of the empire stays the same: to destroy the energy sovereignty of Europe.
