It's OK because they deserved it because reasons.

Listen comrade, the need to eat is Western propaganda. If you have food you will become fat and lazy like the bourgeois.

You know it's the weekend when PugJesus is making memes about the Balkans xD

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My dude, are you American? Neither Ukraine or Kazakhstan is in the Balkans.

It's like mixing up Australia with China.

[–] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I wouldn't say that. It's more like lopping Mongolei as a part pf China.

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nah, that would be malicious, this is just stupid.

Ukraine is 1500 km away, Kazakhstan is 3500 km away from the Balkans.

[–] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How far away from Romania is Ukraine again? 😘

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How is that relevant? Romania is not in the Balkans, if you take some very permissive interpretation, then the very south of Romania might be part of it.

I mean you're right, but I don't really pride myself in my Geographie knowledge 😅

nah. he should have let the nazis have it.

i'm sure that would have been a better outcome for the planet.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Ah yes, the two choices, genocide or Nazis.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago

Thats the world tankies live in. Its always russia vs usa, nazis vs ussr, etc.

[–] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The Kazakh famine and the Holodomor were in the early 1930s, years before the Nazis invaded Ukraine, even before the Nazis had seized power in Germany.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth -2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Beerhall Putsch occurred when? Surely the Nazis went away until 1933.

[–] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

How is the Beerhall Putsch connected to the Holodomor?

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fat fingers deleted rather than edited.

It's connected to Nazis, who surely went silent and inactive until the Reichstag fire.

For further reflection: how long has the United States' Heritage Foundation been working on the plans that led to P2025? It's an old playbook that's had pragmatic but minor adjustments since the Civil War, and this is why classical BA studies should be required, and begun in primary school.

Edit: it probably began in the Levant, maybe Sumer. I need to think about that.

It’s connected to Nazis

I hope I'm misreading this - the Holodomor is not at all connected to the Nazis.

I read the whole thing. I think I understand it as a stand-alone statement, I was just reading it in context of the Holodomor, which threw me off.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 2 months ago

It doesn't help that I've been dealing with a neighborhood series of minicrises, inclement weather and doomscrolling for days. Way too much rolling around in my head.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 0 points 2 months ago

What I really want is a comprehensive overview, since I think there was a convergence of events, some natural, some induced, that led to these occurrences. At any rate, the masses suffered the losses, the money makers did fine.
