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.

Oh no be careful, they might start posting gifs and emojis in response to you, thus nullifying any valid argument you might have!

The latest lemmy update allows users to block entire instances.

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

Unfortunately startrek.website is still running 18, so I'm stuck with playing whack-a-mole

...and lemmy.ml as well. It's tanky breading season out here.

Those stories already started, some Russian mil-bloggers say that F16s are already in Ukraine which is probably copium. But I wouldn't be too surprised if this isn't accidental and Ukrainians re-doubled efforts to take down Russian planes (e.g. via smart and unexpected movements of anti-air installations) in anticipations of F16s coming, they're a lot more useful more quickly if they don't have to operate in contested skies. Every air-to-air missile you don't need to have in your loadout is another air-to-ground one.
