If my options stood between that and soggy cereal. I’d eat them dry every day of the week.
Nope. Not even close. Oil used by civilians and factories (at least in Europe) have to capture or “clean” the exhaust from other pollutants. CO2 is far from the only problem with burning oil.
The military however couldn’t care less about it. They have other concerns.
What’s the point of asking questions if you’re gonna block?
What CIA says or doesn’t say is literally, irrelevant. We have plenty of accounts from within Europe.
That other user very conveniently left out the 3 baltic countries where the vast majority doesn’t want to rejoin. And those 3 countries just so happen to also have much higher gdppc and ppp than the rest.
You’re not fighting misinformation by being a Stalin apologist. And certainly not with your whataboutism. This isn’t about Cuba… or the US.
No idea where this 100m+ is from or that communist countries doeant have food. Literally never heard that. Are you just making up myths so you can “debunk” them?
The famines were created by Stalins collectivisation. His policy dealt the final blow that doomed millions to starvation. They had food. They just didn’t let certain people keep it…
You’re not fooling anyone. We know things were not great under Stalin. From the famines to the arbitrary dissapearnces and arrests. But keep excusing it.
It’s so hilarious that you say you fight against ICE, while defending the Soviet’s far worse version of “ICE”. You know how ICE drags people off the street in broad daylight. That’s what happened back then too.
No, all I have is not anecdotes. But the anecdotes confirm everything else.
People fled and smuggled themselves out for a reason. You either fall in line and praise the rulers, or you might trip and fall out of a window.
Millions upon millions died under Stalin. And when he was on deaths door, there were hardly any doctors to treat him due to him having them killed, tortured, and/or arrested. Now that is poetic justice. Though it’s hardly any consolation for his victims.
Your survey there seems to include most ex Soviet states. But it would seem you forgot atleast 3. I don’t see Lithuania, Estonia or Latvia there. I wonder why you chose to not include them.
Oh, was it because in Estonia 75% said the dissolution was good (15% bad)
Latvia because 53% said it was good (35% bad)
Or Lithuani where 62% said it was good (23% bad), whom in 1991 according to pew, showed that 13% of them rated their lives as “good”. Where as 44% in 2019.
I have no doubt, that those living in the smaller ex Soviet states were favorable. Their gdppc and ppp are significantly lower than Russias. And they probably think being part of a much larger nation will give them the benefit of a larger economy. That is, until they saw what happened to Ukraine. Which is why almost all of them, except Belarus. Have sought influence elsewhere, mainly China and Turkey.
Though I’d do like to add one final note. Those who disliked Stalin either fled, hid, or “dissapeared”. What’s left are those who remained loyal or hid well enough. The love for Stalin was not out of respect, it was out of fear.
We see all the morons in the US praising Trump. No amount of incompetence will ever make them leave the cult. Reminds me of someone…
LMAO. How to summon the .ml warrior with this one simple step. Thank you for proving my point.
The US is not the only source of information regarding USSR, you’re acting like we in Europe don’t know what happened right next to us.
Plenty of us millenials are old enough to have spoken to our late great grandparents. Who saw what happened with their own eyes. Or did you forget that one little detail? It’s not very convenient for you is it. That we’ve actually still have accounts of those who witnessed and experienced it first hand.
Fuck the USSR, fuck the apologists, fuck Russia, and fuck the US.
The younger generation doesn’t remember it in the first place, due to not being alive. And that is used against them.
It’s why it’s important to teach students to be critical of their sources. And try to find multiple reputable sources that corroborate the same information.
Not necssesarily defend, but they shift blame away from Stalin. Essentially, “He was bad, but not THAT bad, that’s just western propaganda”
You’ll see commonly that .ml excuses the famines (yes, plural) created by Stalin by shifting the blame towards environmental factors like “oh but there was a bit of a drought” or “they actually did it all themselves by burning their grain”, “it was to stop the Nazis from siezing the grain themselves”, the list of excuses goes on.
