7/10 Nazis killed in WWII were at the hands of the Soviets
And 10/10 of the Polish officers and civilians killed at Katyn were at the hands of the Soviets too. There's no point in defending a regime that did horrific things, just because they happened to kill a lot of people who also did horrific things.
There's also no point in arguing that "one nation won the war" against anyone in World War 2, the war would've been significantly worse and more brutal had almost any of the allied nations not participated.
Without the US lend lease and factories, the Soviets wouldn't have had a chance, and it would've been a much much more brutal battle even if they succeeded. Not to mention the massive amount of work the U.S. put into fighting Japan in the Pacific almost alone.
Without the Soviets the other allies would have had no continental power to distract the Germans, and North Africa would likely have fallen along with the UK.
Without the UK, the Axis would've had a much much easier time navigating waterways and trading with the world, not always having the possibility of being harassed from one of the UK's colonial ports or airports. Not to mention the constant threat of invasion from the sea and the opening of a second front that the UK provided.
There's others I won't even mention because it would take too long like the invaluable support of India and China without which Japan would've dominated Asia, and the people of Africa and South America who also contributed.
There's literally no way a non-propagandizing historian could put the victory solely on any of the Allied nations, each and every one was completely indispensable
There can't really be a cure though, what's "conservative" is just whatever is on the right wing of a country's politics at any point in time.
Dude has been a joke for a very long time. Like his illegal campaign for the Dem nomination that was only ever meant to be attention seeking, that subsequently got zero attention for the most recent example.
Russia's built ~16 of these Karakurt-class ships since 2018 lol.
Meanwhile the Netherlands alone has 24, and the U.S. has over 600.
Russia's high tech side of their military industrial complex is incredibly weak compared to the old USSR days, and even their low tech side is struggling.
You think Bernie Sanders doesn't want all of that, too? You should read his latest book.
He was just being pragmatic when he mostly only talked about the most easily achievable and popular of his possible reforms.
Haiti already warned of America wanting to use Kenya's military to invade Haiti before they did it.
What? The government of Haiti literally requested support from Kenya, which was approved by the UN. What you're saying is almost the complete opposite of what actually happened.
At least 1 month ago I recall seeing articles about it.
Maybe stop reading articles that are for some reason supportive of the drug and sex trafficking gangs that have caused the most recent collapse of Haiti?
Bernie fucking Sanders was a centrist according to the rest of the world.
Just utterly and completely wrong, Bernie would be firmly within the populist/socialist left of Europe, and probably the rest of the world too.
Oh I completely agree, just wanted to point out that AIPAC is homegrown interventionism, not foreign like people tend to think.
How is this not foreign interference?
Because AIPAC doesn't take any foreign money, it's funded entirely from within the U.S.
Isn't that list almost everything though? I can't think of one reform or law we could pass that wouldn't feel like it came too late.
Doesn't mean they're not worth fighting for, or that we shouldn't celebrate them when they pass.
Completely agree with everything you said.
The same has also started to be done with Bernie's "successor's" like AOC and Jamaal Bowman, I'm not sure how exactly they can stop that other than regularly virtue signaling how radical they are and potentially alienating any moderates.
The oddest part to me is the people who downplay Bernie's radicallness. I've only ever heard it done by left wingers who think he's not actually left wing enough, thereby distancing themselves from their best option, and by right wingers looking for an easy gotcha against lefties by going "He just wants Denmark that's not socialism". Literally the only people downplaying Bernie's radicalism are the ones who would seemingly have a vested interest to do the opposite.
I've always felt that's just pragmatism from Bernie,
If you read his book "It's Okay to Be Angry About Capitalism" it becomes very very obvious that this is the case. From quoting very radical anti-capitalists to tongue and cheek (somewhat) insider jokes such as naming the chapter on his time in mayoral politics "Socialism in one City", it shows he's definitely way more ideologically aligned with socialism than people give him credit for.
Which government are you talking about? Most land owned by the government in the U.S. is either worthless desert, contracted out to the private sector, or the small bit leftover that's actually used by the federal government.
I lived in a very rural area back then, I know a friend whose family was all watching that debate together in their living room, all hard-core Trump supporters of course. That debate literally made them so sad they turned off the TV mid debate, it broke my friend free from being a MAGA diehard.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Biden campaign saw something like that reflected in polling, even marginally, and is trying to recreate it.
Just another step in the long process of fulfilling the promise of Vatican 2. I'm glad to see the reformists have strengthened their position this completely.
Yeah the recoil is much weaker on those and there's no muzzle flash, and certain cinematic shots just can't be done with them like they could with an actual gun.
The moment who is waiting for exactly?
Yes, and it has to be competitive to show their true capitalist spirit.
Idk I think this is probably the best example of good text on flag that I've ever seen.
Definitely could make it better with a band of color behind the text or a different font though.
