hello new mega

three and a half weeks is not enough time to do much “occupation”,

on the basis that the other map was painted, it absolutely qualifies. yankee troops were never in Bulgaria until it joined NATO, but merely being in the axis/central powers they’re dark red on the map

this map is dogshit agitprop, the US did not ‘invade’ all this shit in europe or the PRC ‘invaded’ Korea. you can’t have it both ways, a poorly educated lib could dismiss this outright for being so blatantly unnuanced.

yeah let’s paint germany dark red as a victim of the US, there’s no context that makes the US fighting germany and italy significantly less contemptible than invading mexico

ah fuck i have been speaking it wrong it is so over

is her name pronounced chapel or chapelle?

is lenin on ali here? i swear ive seen a similar outline, but it could be a different imam

i think the UK/France are more oriented to Ukraine and pissed about the red sea interdiction, so there’s somewhat of a misalignment in priorities between them.

I dont think though that they need to be violent

i’m not criticising the idea of kicking people out of parties, i’m talking about the executions of innocent party members and military officers that was allowed to happen. without a structural change to the forms of party security and discipline, there is no reason to believe the same dysfunctional tool would be successful if applied again.

Absolutely bizzare behaviour

the most coherent thing i’ve heard (somewhere on here but i don’t recall who) is that democrats treat every lead in polls as an excuse to pivot right, they want to win as narrowly as possible to govern as ineffectually or right-wing as practicable, while holding their own electorate hostage.

hey so does that candidate you’re boosting have that in their platform or nah?

Stalin should have purged the soviet union again in 1950

looking at the evidence for a purge not catching the guy who turned out to be a problem: what if we tried again and the bad guy was even more in charge of the direction this purge could take? have we considered that maybe soviet purges were not best practices?

no it’s legit. the side by side of the trailers is actually kind of interesting, the updated lighting makes some shots like this one look more saturated, but also makes some others more washed out than the original. it’s overall just slightly better, but 100% the same art direction, no ‘yassification’ or whatever

the hair looks more defined and dynamic in the right, the blurriness on the body could well be a focus effect or something else in the post-processing. the lighting has clearly been tinkered a lot

the running dogs of the empire won’t protest lol. they can’t step on like, türkiye’s toes but most will accept US command of ‘theater logistics’ i’m sure. it’s baked into NATO and the east asian allies that the US will outright command their armies, not much further to the materiel stockpiles too

“enhanced energy command and control” take over their allies’ and weak third world supplies. not sustainable forever but it outlines a viable stopgap to prevent the machine running on empty after a couple months

what does DOD do when the well runs dry?

seems pretty obvious they’d expand stores and production? this question is only relevant to the first months of a complete surprise expansion of war, which seems unlikely given the US is the one who starts shit. US allies also have fuel stores and production in the relevant theaters.

i know that, but how little we know about domestication and stone age shit shouldn’t give one confidence in making huge character differences between how different animals were domesticated originally. nobody wrote down that dogs are friends but cow-aurochs are food. could aurochs or horses be a benefit to have around the agricultural community before domestication? we don’t know
