    No, some instances block hex.

    Also, .ml’s modlog shows a clear pro-russia bias. People should oppose the U.S’s imperialism, but supporting russia (even critically) isn’t the answer. I feel like hexbear has a more diverse range of views compared to .ml or grad though.

      Spesifying that you shouldn’t support Russia even critically shows that you don’t understand the meaning of “critically”

      Who benefits from the extension of the conflict? Who manufactures the soon-to-be expired warheads and ammunition sold to Ukraine?

      US wouldn’t cease the the siege of Iraq and Afganistan before they gained the control of the whole governing body of the country and then extending the occupation for a decade (before abandoning the puppet government to fend for itself)

      If Russia ceased all operations today keeping all the area they gained throughout this war, they would have still done less harm to Ukraine than US has done in any of its conflicts

      “Critical support” means support for the option that causes the least humanitarian damage

      Have you considered that reality supports Russia’s justifications for intervening in Ukraine
