@1RD1_@The_Holy_Sea@SeanMcCarthyCom I do think he did some things right, but Deng's achievements still should be attributed to Deng, not to Mao. And the cost of great leap forward and cultural revolution shouldn't be minimized
@1RD1_@The_Holy_Sea@SeanMcCarthyCom That sounds a bit crazy to me, but I guess it's normal. After all, my grandma likes Stalin and looks fondly on her time in Kyrgyzstan despite what happened
@1RD1_@The_Holy_Sea@SeanMcCarthyCom "Deng credits Mao with China's existence as a sovereign nation" doesn't really go against what the guy you're replying to said i feel like. Also what do you mean by Xi being a productof cultural revolution and laogai system?
@sbrizgalov@Yarga_TG@Dmitry924456551 44 тонны продали с начала года, а не за день. В статье всё описывается и причины и механизмы, но зачем читать статью, если можно прочитать заголовок и начать паниковать, правда?
@acbreakfast@DavidBraun1966@ProjectLiberal Embargo definitely played a role, but "no qualms invading north" is a big stretch. Again, they were tied up fighting chinese and realized their army was no match for red army after khalkhin gol so they weren't too keen on angering USSR
@acbreakfast@DavidBraun1966@ProjectLiberal There's no "if". Before US joined the war the soviet forces were transferred from the far east towards Moscow. Japan didn't attack
@acbreakfast@DavidBraun1966@ProjectLiberal Japan is irrelevant, they instigated a border skirmish with USSR in 1939, got absolutely destroyed and signed a neutrality pact. Besides Japan couldn't beat China, so they never had a real opportunity to fight USSR as there were no forces and supplies to spare
@LoftyGains@BarneyFlames Well can't say for sure, I've never rigged elections, but I guess yeah. Although from this graph we can see that they tend to choose rounder numbers as the result
@LoftyGains@BarneyFlames They report both number of votes and percentages. For turnout they report how many voted and number of people registered to vote there
