I can just hear the tankies screaming western propoganda, NATO evil so Russia good. Screaming it so hard at the screen it vibrates their entire body until they need their sock changed. Do they make communist hot pockets?

Is everyone who disagrees with you an LLM?
Do you go around trying to start arguments with strangers in real life too?
Only idiots
