What was Germany realistically to do with so many soviet pows? Feeding them and providing them shelter would cause an unreasonable strain on their logistics and resources. It's not like the jews where most of them were unfit people that could barely work. These guys could be a major pain in the ass if they revolted. I don't blame them for starving them all to death.

The Germans would do what they did to the six trillion shekels: Force them into camps or kill them.
>>
Why starve them to death slowly? If you want to be pragmatic about it, just kill them all en masse it's far more humane that way.
>>
>>1963835
Because killing of POWs is unlawful.

Absolutely disgusting.

You need some history and way more philosophy fäm.

How bout I throw out some combos and you tell me what you think: lPerino's 'Lincoln in the World' and a critical edition of Thoreau's 'Walden'?

Or here's another you might like that will start to take you from pleb to autodidact: Barry's 'Roger Williams and the Creation of the American Soul' and a critical edition of Burke's 'Reflections'?

Girlfriend's parents were part of Czechoslovakia, the dad was an orthodox Christian (though it's a majority Catholic country) something or other happened and he wasn't allowed to travel to Moscow (which he always wanted to do) - I think because he was not part of the communist party, though my gf's mum was, and even participated in spartakiada, and when my gf's dad has too many drinks he sometimes brings it up and takes the piss

Also everyone had jobs, even gypsies, and if you didn't, you were sent to prison. Funny how Bernie Sanders' supporters never bring that up.

Given the political infrastructure of the US government, has a dictatorship/coup ever been real possibility?

Are there to many checks and balances for this to realistic? What's the closest we've ever cer come?

I like the guy that was on death row in the 20s and humanitarian organizations tried to get his death sentence overturned and he wrote them a letter cursing them out and saying that if he was free he'd kill them too. Guy was a total edge lord.

Charles Manson.

Yes, he is a serial killer. He was just never charged with the murders he personally committed because of lack of evidence.

I've been reading up a bit about the Scythians/Sarmatians and I'm interested. It seems to keep popping up, but I never get a full picture of them

Any recommendations of where to learn about them

The Scythian people had a rather interesting horse economy based around selling their horse archers to unidentified peoples beyond the Steppes. They were able to gather such riches from this that they could instantly buy up enough artisans/craftsman to build fortifications and homes.

Also they believed they healed when ever they killed the enemy which made them unbeatable. Cyrus the Great once advocated that only the gods could truly patch them up under a flag.

Yes, actually any American who pays attention in school will know about Whigs, Tories, the Bull Moose party and so on and will probably have at least one politician they wrote a report on.
