@jakefromgeorgia The disconnect on this is eternal. Leftists saying she should have focused on [things she focused on], Dem voters point out she did. Both miss the fact that Kamala’s campaign messaging never left the base, and the median voter only saw the online GOP’s framing of her messaging.
@steelineYT@C0untryDick@RebelTransbian@com_langer The same month the Battle of Gazala was fought, the Soviets were bashing themselves against Rzhev. What point are you even trying to make? Stick to HOI4 or something
@oligarch452@C0untryDick@ManBanality@com_langer You’re spiritually and mentally retarded. “Battle hardened” this is not a video game you tankie moron, both sides were “battle hardened” by the end of the war, only one of them was facing a famine by spring 1946
@oligarch452@C0untryDick@ManBanality@com_langer That’s literally a skill issue and retarded to try to transplant German casualty ratios 1:1 to the US against the Soviets in this hypothetical
@C0untryDick@RebelTransbian@com_langer Are you like a retarded person? 1944 and 1945 exist within the context of 1939-1943 preceding them. The Allies were concurrently fighting the Japanese in the pacific. “Look at Soviet map painting” is HOI4 brain worms. It was also agreed at Yalta to let the Soviets reach Berlin
@hamas_warrior@MunificentFan@com_langer The Soviets in autumn 1945 would have had to choose between fielding enough soldiers to launch more costly offensives and occupy even more European countries or keep their agriculture and industrial labor shortages from becoming catastrophic.
@C0untryDick@RebelTransbian@com_langer The Allies also took North Africa, Italy, and bombed German industry into rubble in that same time. Soviet advances were not happening in a vacuum.
@x0Starlight Dont think any reading of Ian makes him a villain like Bear but he holds responsibility for two inciting: ridiculing Bear’s rehearsal of an earnest, vulnerable confession of feelings for Nikki (that the waitress finds sweet only to get shut down by Ian!) and Freaky Nikki nickname
Idk a lot of newer Chinese tech is pretty garish to the point that being a western guy that glazes all the shiny new Chinese plastic toys is just the left-leaning version of being a guy that’s aspirationally into Dubai.
Next time you see some DSA Stalinist or whatever foaming at the mouth about “color revolutions” as anti-Russian “CIA ops” organized with “NGO dark money,” remember that, knowingly or not, they’re just repeating narratives out of vulgar Russian geopolitics textbooks.
@artisanrocky@Ratwood1917@EiratheIntern These only existed because the Soviets decided to invade Afghanistan and genocide whole swaths of the countryside over the course of 8 years
@artisanrocky@EiratheIntern Meanwhile the Soviet invasion and genocide of entire Afghan valleys and villages gets completely erased. Their carpet bombings recruited more jihadists fighters in Afghanistan than any CIA or ISI operation
@artisanrocky@EiratheIntern Bin Laden was from a rich Saudi family. He self funded Al Qaeda and his stated reasons for hating America was because we were gay and effeminate and had troops in Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War.“America created Al qaeda” is patently false slopulist pop history.
