is that armor against butterknives or something??

What if the Confederates had iPhones? Would they have won the war?

Assume every Confederate citizen has access to an iPhone. Reception works everywhere. The Internet consists of every book and newspaper in the Confederate world. All apps exist and function except those which would give Confederates future sight.

yeah I'd say it'd be a league ahead of what the Union could muster. Until they stole one.

>give one side an immense technological advantage

You could win any way with this, especially something as huge as instant communication. Even if you were outnumbered 100 to 1. There's a reason US marine squads kill like 10x their squad number, and all they have is better weapons, training, and some nifty gadgets

How did kill claiming during age of dogfights even work? It seems pretty random and insecure, you could just do a sortie and lie that you shot down someone. Also actual dogfights are sketchy as fuck, half of the time you don't actually know whether you've downed someone or not.
Was it just guessing, overestimating and lying?

Throughout both world wars, the amount of kills that both sides claimed for their own fighter pilots borders on comical. And it didn't get any better in Korea, where both sides claimed that they were killing the other 10-to-1.

Pretty satisfied I got high hits for Orthodoxy since I the two churches I'd actually consider if I were to join one would be a confessional or high Lutheran church or some eastern church. I'd probably take baptism from anyone doing full immersion and preferably in living water just like Yeshua.

Seems about right. There's probably a god of some kind, idk if it's one or many but I do know that anything powerful enough to create a Universe certainly doesn't care where I stick my penis, and if there is a heaven then everyone or no-one is going, but I don't think that's important because we all occupy our part of spacetime "forever" anyway, time is linear to us but to God our whole existence is eternal.

Would Trotsky have been a more brutal and overall evil dictator than Stalin, had he taken power in the Soviet Union (either by a coup after being kicked out or winning the dispute regarding Lenin's succession)?
I personally believe so without a doubt, considering his actions and commands in the wars during Lenin's era, and his internationalist "Permanent Revolution" policy.
I know that AlternateHistoryHub made a good video on it, but I would like to expand on the discussion here.

Also, what would the world look like had he possessed the reins of the Soviet Union?
>>
>>3347329
Trotsky was Robespierre (chaotic evil) while Stalin was Napoleon (lawful evil or true neutral). Of course Trotsky's USSR would've been much worse.
>>
Yes, only moronic trotskyites who think "hurr durr Stalin hated him therefore he was benevolent and democratic" believe otherwise.

>devout Protestant

How did you become a Christian?
>>
>>3347324
I was saved during a NDE by divine intervention
Went seeking for which God it was, and I found Christianity to be the most satisfying emotionally and intellectually.
I hesitate giving the whole story because I don't want my own personal story to influence anyone (not that it would here of all places, another reason to keep it to myself) but I want everyone else to develop their own experiences with God.

>I was saved

Yes, that's what I asked. How you were saved.

Not how you were spared from dying.

So how did this guy get away with basically changing the country's religion just so he could get a divorce? Did Lutheranism have a foothold in England by the time he flipped the Pope?

>>3347273
No, there were rebellions across the country, especially in the North. There are four million British Catholics today
Also, he dissolved the monasteries but the protestant-tier, iconoclastic shit only started under later monarchs like Elizabeth
Don't forget that saying you're Anglican is basically saying "well I'm Catholic, but fuck the Pope"
I was baptised into the Church of England and it's pretty shite these days. Old-style, High Church figures in the C of E are based as fuck

Just imagine what it would look like if the public could see what's inside Metro-2. Fucking creepy as shit. I know all governments have a COG plan but its just unsettling that they have an underground city and a secret metro that only the government of Russia knows about.

What are the funniest suicides in history?

>holed up in a bunker under his headquarters in Berlin, Adolf Hitler commits suicide by swallowing a cyanide capsule and shooting himself in the head. Soon after, Germany unconditionally surrendered to the Allied forces, ending Hitler’s dreams of a “1,000-year” Reich.

I'm sure /pol/ have some funny suicides to share as well, anon.

Jim Jones was pretty funny.

>James Warren Jones (May 13, 1931 – November 18, 1978) was an American religious and cult leader, who initiated, and was responsible for a mass suicide and mass murder in Jonestown, Guyana. He believed communism was the correct social order, in compliance with God's will.[1][2] Jones was ordained as a Disciples of Christ pastor, and he achieved notoriety as the founder and leader of the Peoples Temple, which was often described as having cult-like qualities.
