Been reading in a few places online now that the Oregon shooter's family had been stockpiling guns for fear that the government would confiscate them. Wonder how Freep is going to justify this one to themselves.

The USSR, post-1941, was in no sense doomed, and knowing what I do about Barbarossa, I'd say that even with the assets otherwise allocated to defending the channel and elsewhere, it's unlikely the Soviets would have gone under absent continuing British resistance prior to that. Not that we're not well into counterfactual-as-balls territory.

Bingo. The German army may have been one of history's greatest armies, but they ran smack into, arguably, the best army in history. By 1944 the Red Army was an unstoppable vortex of mechanized death.

Someone mentioned that Freepers lust for a Pinochet or Franco type. I used to think that, too.

Nah, what they really want is a resurrected Andrew Jackson, a Southern boy who stuck it to the Injuns in favor of godly white settlers everywhere and told the Supreme Court to go gently caress itself in the process.

One thing to remember if the Freepers ever get their Theocratic Society of Farts: if and when it all falls apart, it will never be their fault. They'll just pin the blame on whatever minority group they didn't get around to purging or because the previous society crippled their movement somehow.

The only thing Freep doesn't like about Rome is their early pagan religion. Once they became Christian, I'm pretty sure it's exactly what they want. Their only qualm might be that they weren't evangelicals.

Well yes, because they were the wrong kind of Christians and obviously not adhering to whatever orthodoxy happens to be prevailing at the moment means that you have to be murdered for your own good.

I'm tempted to say this is another example of how there's nothing so expensive as the world's second-best army, but really as terrifying as the Red Army was, I'd argue victory was more owed to the Soviet willingness to totally mobilize their whole economy and society for the war effort far, far earlier than the Germans did (if they ever really did).

Considering the scales of economy and access to resources, I'd say that even if the Germans had gone full wartime economy before the Soviets, they still would have lost. There just really never was a chance for the Nazis, even if they got everything right and the Allies or Soviets hosed up at every conceivable opportunity.

Of course, hindsight is 20/20, especially when it comes to waging all-encompassing warfare.

Also a lot of strategic resources simply weren't available to Germany unless they conquered and held places that had them. Meanwhile Russia could pull as much oil as it needed out of the ground deep inside its own borders.

Now that attention has been brought back to this, they are actually pretty cool. Google earth bag houses. Very energy efficient and cost effective housing. You usually stucco them inside and out. also slitting a compressed sandbag doesn't really release all the sand.

Oh and for the freepers, they are bullet proof. 2 feet of compressed earth is pretty bullet stopping stuff.

Donald comes from a position of (perceived) wealth though, so that's a major difference.

They were figuring they'd kick in the door and the whole rotten house would have come down, and if they'd actually been anti-Bolshevik liberators like they liked to claim, it - well, might not have worked, exactly, but it would have worked better than they did.

US aid to the Soviets was a really big help but our trucks, gas, and phone cable probably did a lot more than any weapons we gave them. I gather they actually started asking the US to stop sending weapons because we were giving them garbage we didn't want, and their own gear (other than trucks, since all the truck factories were making tanks) was better.
