gradenko_2000 posted:I stopped reading Turtledove after I got to the one where he assumes the Japanese bring transports with the Kido Butai on December 7th and launch an amphibious invasion of the Hawaiian islands concurrent to the bombing of Pearl Harbor. It didn't only happen to brown people, happened to Dutch Indonesians also, for one.

Lostconfused posted:https://twitter.com/davidhelms570/status/1620895436512047104 The right wing papers can be a bit more honest about this since we know their hearts are in the (far-) right place. The liberal press always has to prove that they love the soil and are willing to spill the blood. Also I guess there's a lot of grumbling by German industry, though obviously not enough to change policy. After all you can't just call up the Bundeskanzler when you need some Third World country couped while you can just build a new factory in Texas. genericnick has issued a correction as of 16:13 on Feb 2, 2023 |

Al-Saqr posted:why would anyone still live in a frontline city though? it makes sense Kherson would be abandoned well yes but think of every other Ukrainian settlement that found itself on the front. Think of Mariupol. Ukraine made the decision early on to have a policy of no-evacuation in exchange for turning all civilians into partisans. Or that was the plan. They were proudly boasting about every granny having Molotov. Luckily that didn't seem to actually happen. Now whether this plan was out of desperation or knowing that Russian troops would shoot back at civilians shooting at them, causing the resulting political fallout, is down to personal cynicism.

Now whether this plan was out of desperation or knowing that Russian troops would shoot back at civilians shooting at them, causing the resulting political fallout, is down to personal cynicism. Granted, there was still people living in Stalingrad during the fighting, some people often stand put no matter how bad it gets (especially if they really have no where to go). It is also why conscription has shifted all the way to Western Ukraine since a lot of northern/southern/eastern Ukraine is pretty much depopulated at this point. (It is a good question of how many people are still left in Kiev, but that probably going to take indepedent investigation.)

Frosted Flake posted:Just like there will be a Shelby Foote writing about our era, there will be an Adam Tooze writing about our hilariously inept, ideologically poisoned, defence industries. I wanna see Armando Iannucci go nuts with it. Endman posted:I’m going to assume it’ll work like the laser defence thing on the Paladin from Command & Conquer Generals This makes sense, the Paladin was too expensive to actually use in competitive multiplayer. Mostly you'd just use HMMVs, but if you wanted a tank, mainly against the Middle Eastern themed GLA, you'd use the ehhh *checks notes* the Crusader.

January 6 Survivor posted:125mm tungsten APFDS going through the thin armor like a hot knife through butter because (choose your own adventure) : It's German engineering, so they're going to have 15 versions of the same system. Each version will have different flaws, and it will be loving impossible for you to tell which version you're currently using. Rest assured that each version is the absolute top of the line best-in-class at dealing with one very specific and narrow task, however.

Millions more fell victim to forced labor, deportation, famine, bloody massacres, and detention and interrogation by Stalin’s henchmen. Stalin’s Genocides is the chilling story of these crimes. The book puts forward the important argument that brutal mass killings under Stalin in the 1930s were indeed acts of genocide and that the Soviet dictator himself was behind them.

We don't want people to correctly associate leaders with what few good deeds they actually perform, or the idea that they can do anything for you at all

Raskolnikov38 posted:e: oh lol norman is a hoover institute shithead, god i hate stanford The Hoover institution is okay if you are only using its archive, it is probably the best outside the former Soviet Union for Russian/Soviet history but it is still very incomplete. Otherwise yeah.... Al-Saqr posted:huh I thought zombies was a critique of mindless consumer culture I didnt realize it was reactionary as well. Maybe during the 1970s, but by the 2000s (the Walking Dead era), the idea is everyone is your enemy and you shouldn't stop blasting until your out of bullets. Kill the zombies, kill the survivors, hell eventually put down your own allies (who will turn on you etc); American society may in fact some trust issues.
