“Infantry wins battles, logistics wins wars.”

Russian soldiers in late WW2 were typically very well equipped, as were most soldiers by that stage in the war (even German soldiers were pretty decently equipped late war, though mostly due to having almost no soldiers left to equip).

Late summer 1941 and even at points during Stalingrad, sure there were definitely times when soviet soldiers were being thrown into battle massively underequipped, but this was the exception rather than the rule.

By 1944 (even by 1943) the Red Army was more mechanised than the Wehrmacht and was better at Blitzkrieg than the Wehr ever were.

I mean, you wouldn’t remember the ones you forgot.

They never implied you were white, they implied you were racist.

That you think there would be outrage highlights your lack of understanding.

International waters are just so. It’s only a problem when a country decides to try and restrict access to international waters, and one way to show that this decision is not accepted is to sail warships through it.

Read the comment you originally replied to and then come back and tell me why we’re not starting at 12.

8 eur to 12.5 eur is a 56.25% increase. 16 would be a 100% increase.

50% of 8 is 4, so increasing from 8 to 12.5 is an increase of over 50%.

There would never have been any peace treaty, the allies had already agreed that axis surrender must be unconditional.

Japan having one condition would not have matteted, because the allies were not interested in a conditional surrender.

If you ignore the many examples throughout history of more violence being the solution to violence, perhaps you may have a point.

I can go on now?

Everybody always gets hung up on the nukes but I never see anyone complaining about the firebombing which killed many times more people (or the Japanese and their many attempts at biological warfare).

War is inherently bad, and using powerful weapons to end it sooner is the pragmatic and often moral choice. Would you have preferred that the allies invaded Japan, causing millions more to die? Or perhaps simply blocade Japan, causing millions more to die? It’s easy to be moralistic when you don’t have to make decisions that have millions of lives hanging on them.

I’m not sure what part of my comment you took to mean I thought anything pleasant about the Ottoman empire but cool thanks for the info?

There was a somewhat peaceful coexistence of all kinds of religions before the collapse of the Ottoman Empire (let’s not get into the genocides the Ottoman Empire committed here).

“If you ignore all of the racially driven genocides, the Ottomans were quite chill”

“Chat shit, get banged”

Heed! Paper! Now!

Your height range for women you would date overlaps with the height range you consider to be kids?

Yeah that would be the out part.
