There are lots of good, modern, medium lift helicopters so I feel like they just chose the most expensive option. If - for some reason- they needed a tilt-rotor, how on earth would it not make the most sense to buy V-22s?

they further banned being gay in Russia http://www.socialpsychology.org/cli...anti-lgbtq-law/ quote:Russian President Vladimir Putin signed expanded anti-LGBTQ+ legislation on Monday. The law was [originally introduced by the lower house of Russia's legislature in October](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/russia-anti-lgbtq-legislation-propaganda/), and banned so-called "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations" for both adults and minors, said a [statement](http://duma.gov.ru/news/55609/) by the State Duma. The original bill passed both the lower and upper chambers of Russian legislature before being signed into law by Putin.

It is a very, very expensive thing. And comparatively large. Meanwhile, this summer, the army simply ordered a bunch more blackhawks in what may be the last (years-long) purchase of them.

flying in an osprey rules, actually. when they take off from runways they sort of take off like a plane, nose pointed up, but the rear end end is open like a helicopter. you can look out and there’s the earth right there below you rapidly getting smaller. it’s incredible. not worth the money we spend on them of course but insanely sick.

Comrade Koba posted:lmao, aren’t these the weird euro sovcit group? Kinda. IIRC they basically hold that the Treaty of Versailles illegitimately disbanded the imperial German government and so everything from Weimar onwards can be ignored. They also really want to establish a successor state to the 2nd Reich. A third variation, if you will. Also also, German special forces just keep turning out to be nazis. It's really odd. Also Australian. Also American.

It's not like the British, French or Belgian empires didn't also have the mandate to do whatever I think since the whole double genocide thing is intended to excuse a very specific genocide it's fair to take that one for comparison. It's not like they are trying to make the case that Stalin was as bad as Churchill.

Not So Fast posted:Do genocides typically "finish the job"? It's not like the British, French or Belgian empires didn't also have the mandate to do whatever a more nuanced story is that the Congo Free State was ended by international pressure as exerted by the Casement Report and the Congo Reform Association. The British Parliament and other European powers found King Leopold II in violation of the Berlin Act of 1885 and forced Belgium to annex Congo Free State into a less abusive, paternalistic colony quote:Elder Dempster had a shipping contract with the Congo Free State for the connection between Antwerp and Boma. Due to his knowledge of French, Morel was often sent to Belgium, where he was able to view the internal accounts of the Congo Free State held by Elder Dempster. The knowledge that the ships leaving Belgium for the Congo carried only guns, chains, ordnance and explosives, but no commercial goods, while ships arriving from the colony came back full of valuable products such as raw rubber and ivory, led him to the conclusion that Belgian King Leopold II's policy was exploitative and a type of slavery.[9] According to author Adam Hochschild, Morel's conclusions were correct—the value of the goods coming from the Congo Free State was five times that of the goods coming from Europe, and the difference was being extracted from the Congolese population through force and mass atrocities.[10] E. D. Morel is considered by some to be the father of parapolitics, for essentially developing a conspiratorial theory about what went on in the Congo, following the money, and then being proven entirely correct quote:In collaboration with Roger Casement, Morel led a campaign against slavery in the Congo Free State, founded the Congo Reform Association and published the West African Mail. With the help of celebrities such as Arthur Conan Doyle and Mark Twain, the movement successfully pressured the Belgian King Leopold II to sell the Congo Free State to the Belgian government, ending some of the human rights abuses perpetrated under his rule.

Rutibex posted:the British Empire did in fact "finish the job" when given the chance That the same thing is happening to the Scots-Irish of Newfoundland - in terms of culture being eradicated, and the province emptying out as young men move to Alberta - it just shows that Victorian capitalism was selective along racial lines but as the rate of profit fell, well, hard decisions had to be made what a pity. Not that it excuses any of it, but it’s like how Scots-Irish drove native people out of Appalachia, and now they’ve been made redundant too, it just took two hundred years to wring the surplus out of the region.

Orange Devil posted:Kinda. IIRC they basically hold that the Treaty of Versailles illegitimately disbanded the imperial German government and so everything from Weimar onwards can be ignored. The usual version is that the Weimar constitution was never formally abolished and is thus still in effect, therefore the current German state/goverment is illegitimate. Also, the allies are still illegally occupying the country and the goverment is actually the board of directors of a "Germany corporation" (???).
