why are they so stupid?

>>3376775
More religious than nationalism

>>3376800
Charlemange probably knew some sort of Old French, or one of the Langues d'oïl. Richard I spoke occitan

Not as history.

if you're interested in the 18th century

He's kind of like Aristotle in that most of what he says isn't correct, but he helped people form a mode of historical literature.

So, no.

Sherman never wanted to pay any reparations and he hated niggers to the bone. He just wanted to settle them on the tidal islands of Georgia, that's what the "40 acres and a mule" shit refers to.

Yeah, no.

entertaining to watch

Wewuz memes aside, even if that's true, it wouldn't explain why the hurricane is striking in Florida, a state with a large Black and Hispanic population. Unless black people hate hispanics too, i don't know about that

>>3376211
100%

>>3376228
Hispanics and blacks don't really like each other despite the fact that the media creates a narrative that tries to show otherwise. 'My exs grandmother was a black Cuban woman who wrote one of her other grandchild off her will for getting pregnant by an African American and always complained about having nigger grandchildren

it was a truly example of soviet efficiency.

The design of the thing was unsafe, and various scientist said as much during the construction of it. But what did they know?

The rest of the reactors were kept running until the 1990s

There were a lot of things that had to happen in a certain way for the disaster to occur and unfortunately they did happen. All of the things that occurred compounded to make the reactor extremely unstable and every safety feature designed to be fail-safe was turned off. The reactor was operating completely outside of its design. Due to poor training and lack of knowledge as well as deviation from test protocols the operators made it possible for the reactor to be in such a state. That said, the reactor design also had many flaws because it didn't comply with standards of nuclear reactor safety.

The disaster was probably inevitable, in my opinion. Given the lack of safety and non-compliance of safety standards, lack of training, not following procedure, bad procedures and instructions, lax safety culture, faulty design, and lack of foresight if it didn't happen that day it would have happened on another. The same test was done 4 years previous and it was fine, for instance.

During the time it made US-Soviet relations better/ more cooperative. Because of it people are still incredibly (and unreasonably) scared of nuclear power.

What is this, some bizarro T-34?

>>3376061
a german ripoff of the T-34, looks cool i guess, but nothing could really save them, besides not starting the war in the first place

No.
>cramped, hinders crew performance
>weak armor even at the front, low survivability
>unreliable (the T-34 wasn't reliable like the M4)

The Panther was alright, after they figured out initial flaws (Version A and D were shit, Panther G was good). For the needs of Germany it was suitable (good ergonomics for the crew, strong frontal armor, strong anti-armor gun). It was still comparatively unreliable and not really suited as an infantry support tank, though.

Germany was on the defense against numerically superior enemy tanks, it didn't need an all-around tank like the M4, but essentially a tank destroyer, this role was filled by the Panther.

For offensive warfare, were a general purpose medium tank was required, the later versions of the Panzer IV were still fine, being comparable to the M4 and T-34.
