Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:More Michael Swanson Since the fall of the USSR have we been able to get scholarship to show if the Soviets were as equally deluded about our capabilities, especially that early on? I know of several Cold War head games we tried and of course we think it was a giant success, but were they really?

AnimeIsTrash posted:Cumings has a lot of good stuff out there about the Korean War and the DPRK in general. I don't recall if he's a marxist, but he's extremely symptomatic to the plight of the North Korean peoples. Sympathetic auto correct/predict?

MeatwadIsGod posted:As brilliant a self-own as this is, I think July 4th is an even more important one because Vicksburg is taken and Confederate troops are beaten at Helena so it's the decisive smackdown that the Confederacy is cut in half and they no longer have a way to get troops or supplies across the Mississippi in any great numbers. And then the salty losers that they were, didn't celebrate the 4th for ~70 years.

MikeCrotch posted:I don't know if it was this thread or the MilHist thread but the "Nazis on Meth" book is pretty bad history, most people in the German army would have gotten 20 meth pills or nothing, and there is literally no evidence that lots of regular people were going out and buying meth off the shelves.

Calico Heart posted:hey goons, I am working on a project and need some help. What is, for your money, the worst thing McDonald’s has ever done? business practise or knowingly endangering customers/workers? All the other things are worse and operate on bigger scales and budgets. On a more personal/limited scope scale the hot coffee lawsuit was supremely hosed up.

The idea that the CIA finally managing to kill a major head of state when they gently caress up an intended non lethal assassination attempt as scare tactic/warning message/whatever against their own president is one of those things that sounds too perfect to be true.

Azathoth posted:No, they never did turn the corner on Vietnam and make it profitable, though it wasn't for lack of trying. The MIC made off like bandits, which one could argue demonstrated yet another way to extract resources, just not from external colonization. The, "You're free to do whatever you want so long as it is what we want," form of colonization.

Weka posted:Lol, what are they going to offer them, a particularly interesting clod of mud? There is this one particular mummified cat that froze to death under someone's porch in I think Leipzig that I've seen displayed in at least 3 museums in 3 different countries across 2 different continents. They should send that to China.
