Doesn't mean that the US can't gaslight themselves into believing that they can actually do something.

I can't determine if this is a Disco Elysium joke.

Drones are almost useless against fortifications, so tanks and artillery are still very important. Drone-armed light infantry can efficiently slow down conventional armed forces, but they would be unable to push them back. But drones will be invaluable for a guerilla war.

I admit that I dislike Pulitzer-winning journalists way more than Hamas commanders.

This is Vladivostok, I think.

Why do you think they are so obsessed with denying climate change?

It is obvious that Yog-Sothoth is the best representation of the gaping hungry void that is the American soul.

"No peace, no war" was pretty dumb, but he hoped to quicken the revolutions in Germany and Austria by prolonging the war, and German collapse was pretty much unavoidable by this point. Failure of Warsaw offensive is much more on Tukhachevsky, who ignored growing logistical difficulties in favour of faster advance. Don't know about tsar trial issues, TBH.

I think people give too much attention to interpersonal struggles in USSR and too little to what class interests were behind them. For example, Trotsky had his support mostly from "old" sections of industrial workers, Stalin had support from the poorer peasants and workers who had just moved from countryside to the cities, and Bukharin had drawn support from wealthier peasants and petit bourgeoisie. So Stalin won the political struggle mostly because he had the largest base of support.

 

"The enemy wants to capture Tula - the forge of the Red Army. Comrades, defend Tula, crush the enemy!"

 
 

Eastern Europe and Latin America are both exploited for resources, cheap immigrant labour (and cheap labour in these countries too sometimes), while being patronized for being 'less democratic', and at the same time the West strangles any liberation movements there and promotes the most reactionary forces available. In fact, this economic and political relationships lead to them being pretty similar in socio-political structure.

The difference is that Eastern Europe is much more gusanoified since 1990s.
