Well, at least a soviet tank can be repaired with a hammer, unlike a deere

Which one? And why exactly?

I'd say this is not an unpopular opinion. It was (and I believe still is) US govt position on these events. It's also wrong

I really hope it survives, only because I want to preserve and archive all of it's content. Sure, there's a lot of duplicate data and links to other places, but there's also a lot of unique things there. If it dies before it can be properly archived we would lose most of it, with only internet archive keeping some. That would be sad.
