They never had to learn how to fight, just throw endless amounts of people at the enemy until it was overwhelmed

>"We've spent between thirty-five and forty billion dollars on space...but if nothing else had come from that program except the knowledge that we get from our satellite photography, it would be worth ten times to us what the whole program has cost. Because tonight I know how many missiles the enemy has and...our guesses were way off. And we were doing things that we didn't need to do. We were building things that we didn't need to build. We were harboring fears that we didn't need to have."
-President Lyndon B. Johnson, 1967
he meant the space program provided a 10x return on the money invested in it because it revealed how overblown the Soviet threat was so he take all of that money he would have spent on military shit and spend it on dem programs instead which are more beneficial to the amerifat people
>>1972636
Doesn't this imply that Russians mainly rely on psychological warfare than anything tangible?
>>1972622
missile gap was a meme
Kennedy got elected on a Trump-tier argument
>tfw you realize that learning history is pointless, seeing as how you'll never make an impact on the future
You certainly won't with that attitude.
>>1972288
That's not the point of learning history, you fucking weeb. The point is to become educated and better yourself.
>>1972291
You certainly won't with any attitude.
>I'm culturally jewish
>But you can't be culturally christian goy
I believed this for the longest time, but now that I've actually thought about it, it makes zero sense.
Rabbinic Judaism has been the mainstream form of Judaism since the 6th century CE.
Catholicism has been around for longer than that, the church is the oldest institution in the western world and can trace itself back 2000 years.
So please explain to me, how a white person can't be culturally christian, but a jew gets magic powers and can claim "culturally jewish"? When Catholicism is older than fucking judaism.
>inb4 b-but the old testament
Jews don't give a shit about that they only care about the Talmud not the torah. For all intents and purposes it's an offshoot of original judaism that started in 6th century CE, it's no different than Protestantism is to Catholicism or even christianity is to judaism.
Also, don't forget, white people not only don't exist but don't have any culture either!
You can be culturally Christian.
You can ALSO be culturally Jewish.
Does anyone on /his/ and in real life actually disagree with this?
>>1972285
OH NO I DONT KNOW SOMETHING THAT MUST MEAN THAT THERE IS SOME KIND OF CONSPIRACY MOST LIKELY EVIL AND JEWISH INTERNET MUST KNOW ABOUT THIS
Fuck off. Seriously fuck off.
There are millions of people who consider themselves culturally Christians
30 years after this picture was taken we had jet fighters and nuclear bombs. What made technology progression speed up insanely fast in the early 20th century and then slow way back down again?
War

Self-expression, culture, influence, social statements etc.
Hello people!
I would like to show you a crazy idea I just had.
Making a new religion! The first (maybe) OpenSource religion in the world.
> The Schrödinger religion.
https://github.com/Pella86/Schrodinger-religion
> The religion itself:
https://github.com/Pella86/Schrodinger-religion/blob/master/The%20religion.md
> How do I contribute?
https://github.com/Pella86/Schrodinger-religion/blob/master/HowToContribute.md
I'm not looking for followers, neither people who agree with what I wrote, I'd love to discuss the idea first and foremost.
One can contribute to it even without being follower, because this religion gives the possibility to create your own.
> Religion Essentials
> Purpose
This religion is meant to be a way of achieving coexistence in the human species and to promote progress.
> Why the need of a new religion?
The main religions right now are based on old texts. All in all these texts are written in antiquity and don't take in account the fast pace of progression that society, over recent times, has undergone.
> How is the new religion different?
I want to create a modern religion, written socially by people. I want to create a dynamic sacred script that is modified with the discovery of new technologies.
> God?
Schrödinger religion, will consider the hypothesis that atheism AND theism both exist at the same time.
Stance of the religion on Homosexuality:
> Choice or predisposition?
Homosexuality isn't a choice, like isn't a choice to be hetero.
> Minoritarian behavior
One last thing, being gay will always be controversial in a population, since will always be an alternative behavior of the standard.
> Where the religion is stuck and needs your help
Is homosexuality harming today society? Is homosexual propaganda harming more? Should the society control sexual behavior of its members? If yes how?

There's a special place for non-believers like you
Redpill me on Czechs and Nazi Germany.
I know about Heydrich and Lidice, but not much else. It seems that they weren't treated as harshly as the Poles, and the racial autism was largely dependent on Hitler's mood that day (ranging from "absolutely subhuman" to "quasi-Germans with a backwards language").
Eh, they killed all germans in Prague after the war was lost, so I guess they got treated shittily enough to be mad.
In the end, bullying a former holyromanally like this (Hitler himself said they never had beef with the Czechs) was an unexcusable stab in the back.
>>1971649
>holyromanally
fuck you for making me Google this thinking it was an actual word
>>1971668
Lets play a game /his/
I'll post a famous quote, you guess who it's by, winner post next one.
>The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.

This is the current status of Syria. Green in Al-qaeda, Black ISIS, Blue Israel, Red Syrian, dark green Rebels and Turkey and yellow Kurds.
At the start of game it was only rebels, now it is a mess.
Consider it is 1862, what if in US civil war England decided to attack from the north or Mexico from south. If you are on the weak side you would try to ally with foreign just to win? Or you would change the direction of your guns to defend your country?
I accept that it is not a fair comparison. In Syria the amount of foreign pressure and funding for war is huge. However, I don't understand the reason the real rebels AKA free Syrian army is still continuing to fight.
For sick bantz innit

>Blue Israel
Isn't that just the Golan Heights? they've controlled that since 1967
If it weren't for nuclear weapons, would the U.S. and Soviet Union eventually have ended up in a real war? If so, how do you think that would go?
Just like they do it now in Syria, they would fight in Europe or somewhere else, but not in their own country.
>>1971261
Probably not; you had more conventional methods of deterrence. "The West" had more overall money and manpower, but " the East" would have been enormously difficult, bloody, and expensive to do. Nukes raise the cost of the conflict, but don't change the fundamental equation.
What would almost certainly happen is peacetime drafts and a large conventional military buildup in Europe, and a consequently lower standard of living in the Western world; nukes are much cheaper than colossal armies.
Soviets had 10x as many tanks as the us did.
What's the veredict on this fellow, /his/torians?
Was he really that bad?
>>1971238
Yes
>>1971238
Really, really. And no, not everyone was like that in the 15th century.
Well people of the time complained of his abuse of the natives and of other europeans
How successful were china's walling projects in the north?
Very successful, it only failed because corrupt leaders were elected.
>>1971121
moderately, unless competent and loyal troops manned the walls they were pretty much useless. Often chinese troops there were neither.
The cost of keeping professional solders in the far north were great, so they would use local garrisons
>>1971121
Well, do you see any barbarians in China?
