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

Which they will never do.

As circumstances stand I agree, but you didn't answer my question as objective material reality stands right now do you think they should deploy the PLA and PLAN to Venezuela?

They've invested(with the profits from gained their hybrid market system) in Venezuela and its oil industry(most went to production rather than domestic refinement but not all), even while under US sanction

And have provided a critical economic lifeline outside of the US/NATO/IMF order, which while not as effective as kinetically opposing US imperialism, is still far better than doing nothing but wringing hands from an ideologically pure position

Am I supposed to pat them on the back for this? They do business with everybody.

No you're supposed to recognize this is far more than almost any other country is doing in solidarity, and tell me what else you think they should be doing?
