Not that much. The most slavs hate each other despite speacking a related language.

>>1832040

Not much. Language is not a barrier to cultural diffusion and culture of, let's say, Hungarians is very similar to that of Czechs or Slovaks.

Slavic languages aren't mutually intelligible by the way and Slavs have very little in common at this point aside from distantly related languages and some remnants of common traits in folk culture. Panslavism was just a meme of edgelords from bourgeois houses that evaporated the very moment said edgelords learnt what a shithole Russia is.

Good posts.

Also, Western Slavs very distant with Russkies and Yugoslavs.

>Plain of Jars

I read a book called "The Ravens" about CIA operations using Bronco observation planes in that area. Supposedly if you got shot down, your chances of survival were immensely low.
We weren't legally or officially allowed to be there. The information about our operations in north Laos for the Hmong were not released until 1998.

>>1831509
Oh as for your question, probably not much. It'd take more nukes than the US had to even kill half of China.

Also, it'd be asking for the Soviets to intervene fully in Korea. Maybe spark a ground war in Europe.

>>1831509
the USSR would probably openly join the war, possibly using their own nukes in tactical strikes on the UN or invading Europe to split the American forces

Luzgin had posted a blog on Ukrainian nationalist leader Stepan Bandera and Ukrainian nationalist fighters who fought against (and sometimes collaborated with) the Nazis, while battling the Soviets, and, incidentally massacring Jews and Poles. Admittedly, by eulogizing Bandera (who was assassinated by the KGB in the 1950s), Luzgin wasn't likely to endear himself to a Russian court, or many other people for that matter.

However, what really got Luzgin in trouble was writing this passage:

“The communists and Germany jointly invaded Poland, sparking off the Second World War. That is, communism and Nazism closely collaborated, yet for some reason they blame Bandera who was in a German concentration camp for declaring Ukrainian independence”.

Luzgin was prosecuted under a law, signed by President Vladimir Putin in May 2014, that criminalizes "the denial of the facts" established at the Nuremberg war crimes trials, as well as the "dissemination of deliberately false information on the activities of the Soviet Union during the Second World War."

In other words, the Nuremberg tribunals never ruled that the Soviet Union had invaded Poland, and thus to claim there was an invasion is to defame Soviet actions during what Russians call the Great Patriotic War.

>>1831456

Let's leave aside the fact that the Nuremberg trials focused on Nazi war crimes. Because the Soviet Union was on the winning side, it therefore participated as a member of the prosecution, even though some decried the irony of Stalin's men judging others for committing atrocities.

What's crucial is every history book I'm familiar with says that the Soviet Union really did invade Poland. Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union signed a non-aggression treaty in August 1939 in which each side pledged not to attack the other. A secret protocol to the Nazi-Soviet Pact divided Eastern Europe into spheres of influence, under which Germany and the Soviet Union divvied up Poland. Poland had not asked for Soviet troops on its territory; in fact, Polish opposition to the Red Army passing through Poland had scuppered any chance that the Soviet Union would come to Czechoslovakia's aid during the Munich crisis of 1938.

Nonetheless, after the German invasion on September 1, 1939, the Soviet government declared that Poland no longer existed as a nation and that such a vacuum threatened Soviet security. On September 17, the Red Army crossed the border into eastern Poland, annexing territory that the Soviets had long considered their own. Their feelings toward Poland would later be seen in the Katyn massacre of 1940, when the Soviet NKVD secret police murdered 22,000 Polish military officers, policemen and educated professionals. After years of claiming that the Nazis did it, in 2010 the Russian Duma voted to blame Stalin for the killings.

>>1831459

Even when it comes to signing a treaty with a Nazi maniac who expressly swore to rid the world of "Jewish Bolshevism," one can argue that the Soviet Union was cynical but not irrational. After Britain and France had dithered for months in half-hearted negotiations to form an anti-Nazi alliance with the Soviet Union, it was obvious that they secretly hoped that the Germans and Soviets would kill each other and leave the West alone. So why shouldn't Stalin sign an agreement with Hitler to remain neutral while his Nazi and capitalist enemies annihilated each other, leaving the Red Army to eventually pick up the pieces?

Nor is it unprecedented for history to be criminalized. Germany banned sales of Mein Kampf until recently, and some form of law against Holocaust denial exists in 22 nations. Whether banning opinions on history, no matter how hideous or wrong the opinion, actually serves a purpose is another question. On the other hand, while to Americans this smacks of censorship, those people who suffered from fascism might understandably be sensitive to its depiction.

However, it would be one thing if today's Russian government acknowledged that the Soviet Union had illegally seized Polish territory, and then pointed out that the Soviet state no longer exists, and that Russia has moved on from Stalin's day. Yet by attempting to stamp out criticism of Soviet aggression, Russia is essentially announcing that it accepts responsibility for the historical legacy of the Soviet Union.

Yes only problem is factory jobs were hard to come by and most people were rural peasants well into the 70s.

Self management didn't really work, de facto only a few bureaucrats were really involved in the decision making process. In spite of the fact that officially the workers themselves were in charge, there were still numerous strikes in Yugoslavia.

I would be very sceptical about every positive thing you hear about Tito on the internet

lolno white people were invented by yakub a black person

everything white people have done is actually black peoples fault

>>1831308
Oh god, are you even familiar with Islamic history. The saudis didn't stop taking black people as slaves (women as sex slaves and the men were castrated and put to work, not just eunuchs).

Plus, didn't whites champion the abolishment of slavery? Aren't you nig nogs still taking each other as slaves in various african countries? Don't black folk kill each other at massive rates? You can't blame everything on whitey. Plus, why are asians and hispanics so successful?

Also Apocalypse Now

Apocalypse Now is a great film but it´s also based on Joseph Conrad´s Heart of Darkness, that makes it an arty film more than an historical one

Platoon is good. Especially if you want a movie to capture what it was really like the for average private. Though in recent times people starting shutting on it for some reason.

I think we're long overdue for a new crop of Vietnam movies. There's a lot of mysticism to the whole war that should be explored more often.

This is why when Jesus resurrected he had to "open the scriptures" for the apostles because they didn't realize who he was and how the OT revolves around him basically.

Judaism was a mistake.
