    Hey, quick question: What happened when the US congress tripped over its own dick as it is wont to do and turned off the bullet spigot for 8-10 months? Did Ukraine stop fighting and say “Oh you’re right you can have all our land in the east and please accept our apologies if you want to take some more go right ahead?” I feel like they must have done that, since the US is the one insisting that they have to shoot back even though they really don’t want to (and why would anyone?). But I can’t remember it happening.

      even though they really don’t want

      Correct, majority of civilians don’t want to keep fighting a pointless and unwinnable conflict. It is mostly forced conscription by their Nazi government that the US props up to continue feeding them into the meat grinder.

      Also the people in the east have a right to self determination and if they would rather be under Putin’s thumb than the thumb of the Azov aligned Ukrainian government that is their prerogative and it is showing your western chauvinism that you don’t clearly give a fuck about them.

        Sounds good. What happened when they turned off the bullet spigot? I feel like maybe you meant to respond to someone else’s message here, since you missed the question I asked in mine.

            Sounds good. How many bullets did Ukraine get between October 2023 and April 2024?

                Lol I like how Hexbear invented all these new terms like “sealioning” is when you ask someone why they think the bullshit thing they just said, provide some evidence, or “asking questions to highlight holes in the other person’s laughable charade of an argument” is somehow this horrible thing to do.

                I actually didn’t know that was “JAQing off.” I thought that was the original Tucker Carlson thing, where you have some bullshit you think, and you ask whether it’s true as a way of implying it’s true, but then run and hide behind “I was just asking” if someone points out that it’s bullshit. I’m not sure if that is okay to do in Hexbear-world but that wasn’t what I was doing.

                Meanwhile, you know what is a perfectly reasonable thing to do when someone disagrees with you on Hexbear? Ignore what they said, call them a “liberal” and send them a picture of a pig that shit on itself and high five all your friends. That’ll never get a special dismissive term for why it is a bad thing to do.

                Oh, also, what percentage of Ukraine’s current military production is domestic right now? I know the percentage (It’s not quite as simple as the raw number would seem, for a couple of different reasons, but I’m curious if you know the number. You seem super confident otherwise.)
