Surprise that someone who came in with a wall of text basically going "Russia is defending its citizens, Ukrainians are racists for hating Russia for no reason, and its all USA's fault" turned out to be a tankie.

Jippa posted:What is the significance of sending russian troops on leave to belarus? I understand they are allied to putin, but why would they be sent there specifically? It's easier to set up concentration camps for the soon to be eliminated traitors outside of Russia proper. No risk of the Russian public finding out that way. "Going to Belarus" is going to become one of those grim Eastern European euphemisms.

Pretty sure nobody in the thread thinks there are 0 nazis in Ukraine (but, alternatively, a focus on Ukranian nazis over and above their actual presence in ukranian society/politics/military indicates at a bare minimum your ideology is aligned with a particularly militant part of the American Left), and calling Russians orks was banned ages ago in this thread for good reason (pretty sure for at least the lifespan of this particular iteration of this here GBS thread) I think it's time to be honest, are you actually mad at ~the thread~ or have you been stirred up somewhere else about this perceived issue? Probably wasn't C-SPAM based on how you post. Was it Tankie twitter? Do you listen to that weird turks podcast or something? I genuinely would like to know if you're willing to share

HonorableTB posted:The War That Came Early ended with general atomic warfare that wasn't advanced enough to be a MAD scenario. Basically the belligerents use nukes like regular bombs and by the end of the war a bunch of cities were nuked even in the US. It's a fun series and I recommend Turtledove highly because he fills a niche which is "what if a professional historian that also is a professional author had to write a 12 year old's idea of X" and it's insanely fun. It's not GOOD but it is very very fun. He spends his days now being a very angry leftist old man on Twitter and trolling nazis.

If you like turtledove you should check out my self published book "Genocide is Bad but What If Stopping Genocide is Bad Too because it Saves Hitler 2". It's currently #72,559 in the Terminally Online (Tankies) category.

Thanks thread for reminding me that I've had that Turtledove book where like the Eastern Seaboard of North America is shifted to be in the middle of the Atlantic (and filled with wildlife like you'd see in New Zealand, and gets colonized by British and Breton fishermen) for a few years and should get around to reading it. Also the second book in his series where Japan Does a Land Invasion in Hawaii instead of just a couple waves of bombs and torpedoes at Pearl Harbor

What does all this all mean for wagner personnel ? So you had the prisoners doing service for removal of sentence, i guess now signed into an army contract or back in prison? The more experienced former army, now back in the army? But now on poo poo wages? I presume the whole reason Wagner were involved in ukraine was a way to keep veteran experience in the conflict by the lure of better pay? What about all the ones out of Russia doing other contracts I guess they are different? Is gobbo keeping the foreign operations? I guess all the top brass are getting worried about tea and windows currently.
