Ardennes posted:So the Western Empire truly died in the 4th century? Possibly later, they were still minting coins with stuff about the eternal glory of Rome for a few more centuries after the 3rd century. The Empire doesn't really die till the idea of the Empire goes. Which might mean the US is already in the dustbin

Endman posted:I’m not reading all that but your undergrad professor sucks if he thinks that the Goths turned on Rome for no reason Yeah one of my favorite parts of the story is that the Visigoths really did not want to go to war with Rome, and gave them so many offramps it's kind of incredible.

https://twitter.com/failure1991/status/1679061889412653063 I guess the only way for Westerners to stop talking about weak, cowardly orcs ready to run away from wunderkat is to personally drive into the pre-registered artillery firing zones themselves.

Truga posted:it was constant partisan resistance after the balkan campaign that delayed barbarossa by a month, hitting germans with mud/snow conditions earlier than expected, possibly saving the soviets another million or two dead, since they did pretty much all the heavy lifting in breaking the nazi war machine There's enough wiggle room to pretend Yugoslav partisan activity was being done by the Chetniks, if you love lying.

Endman posted:When the Germans failed at Stalingrad and were repelled within a mile of the Georgian highway that would have taken them straight to the oil fields it was over. The wheels had started to come off late in 1941, but by the end of 1942 the wheels had flown off in random directions In the 4-5 months following the start of Barbarossa the German army was effectively demotorized.

it really doesn't matter when barbarossa is launched, the germans would just end up outrunning their supply lines anyway in fact barbarossa historically went about as well as possible and a lot better than it had any right to, so this whole one weird trick to how the germans could actually have won is some deeply misguided poo poo

But yeah, Yugo partisans are easily the most ignored part of the war in general Western high school level history. Look at that map posted earlier: the Yugos freed themselves and ended up fielding 4 loving armies doing so. The Brits, French and Canadians combined fielded 4 armies. The US 6 in the West. Yes they’re not fully equivalent, but just think of the Herculean effort that had gone on in the Balkans those 4 years and how much strength that sapped out of the Nazi war machine, and all done under the least favorable conditions (occupation) and thus paid for in a lot of blood. And yeah, Communists we’re the ones who could organize all that, which is why Churchill wanted to do Overlord in Yugoslavia instead to snuff them out like he did in Greece, before the Nazi defeat was even final, the loving shitgoblin he was.

The Romans had a little foothold in Tunisia but the Vandal kingdom controlled most of the rest of North Africa until the Arabs showed up and beat them both, collapsing the Vandal culture so we don't really have any records of what they had done created . this is belisarius erasure

Tankies: Ukraine should surrender to save the lives of its people, and it's a sign of how wicked the Ukrainian Government is that they are continuing the resistance against the Russian invaders. Also tankies: The Yugoslavian partisans were heroes for resisting the occupation of their country, even though it cost the lives of their people.

One of these is a battle to prevent the enslavement and extermination of your ethic group by an outside force and liberate you from your oppressor. The other is merely a battle over which almost politically identical oligarch gets to extract resources from your area while keeping you under generic but not existential immiseration. The difference between d&d and cspam is entirely over which one is which.

Personally I'm a great fan of the people who get all fired up and wish for nuclear armageddon because their chosen ogliarch is/isn't winning the fight to loot some resources somewhere, even though regardless of who actually wins they aren't personally going to receive any benefit from it whatsoever.
