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 [email protected]

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

From a quick skim of the post history, the OP spends 90% of their time defending Boruto and 10% of their time defending Nazis.

Paulus only began to ask Hitler for allowing retreat after the operation Uranus had started, and it was already too late. Breakout was discussed later, but it was deemed too risky, because if Germans left fortified positions, they would be easily overrun by Soviet tanks.

I guess Paulus was a bigger idiot than I'd remembered, thanks for the correction

It was less because he was an idiot and more because the Soviets had managed to completely fool German intelligence services, who mistakenly assumed that the Red Army has no more reserves.
