  1. @novat9731  no... It varied from place to place and time to time. During the Siege of Leningrad, for instance, most of the fighting was over attempts to fully encircle the city and starvation occurred. As for the Germans, rationing started early in the war and got progressively worse throughout

  2. @tedarcher9120  so? Leningrad is an industrial city almost on the arctic circle. Their food supply was up river, and in the Baltic.

  3.  @tedarcher9120  Haha. Soldiers consume food faster than they do bullets. No food, no strength, no marching, no fighting. Although often in war it's not a matter if you're well fed, but if the other guy is hungrier than you are. Who was it in the Ardennes offensive that looted an American camp only to find the enemy had all the food, medicine, and other mundane gear anyone could ask for? That guy looked at said "That's it. Germany has lost." Or during the Piquot War in America. After the initial colonist victory, most of the Piquots neither surrendered nor were killed, but had to move into the mountains and fought two years of small scale raids. They surrendered because the colonists remained in control of all the hunting grounds.

  4. Japan's unification ain't like the other two. Japan has broken up and reformed many times over its history and it industrialized abruptly when they were forcibly opened for trade by the US.

  5. You can't really hold the distortions against Kesselring as he wrote his memoires from an Allied jail and presumably didn't want to get hung. While at the time of his actions he was doing whatever he thought would win the war fastest.

  7. Over the former Axis, yeah. Not against the Soviets. If it makes you feel better the US totally ripped off the German rocket program even though it was within the Soviet lines.

  8.  @alexanderryan1176  there was a very real possibility of a third world war, yes. That doesn't mean we could extort them like we did the Shah of Iran.

  12. Inflation makes it debts worthless. I.E. If you loan someone money at 5% interest, but inflation is 10%, you will lose money over time.

  13. @FortniteBlaster2  chinese state enterprises simply have unfair advantages and only "sensitive" industries like newspapers, TV, and armed police are required to be state controlled. Nazi Germany saw everything state run but groups within the state forced to compete with each other

  14. @AustrianPainter14  dude, under Nazi rule virtually all stock markets ceased except for party members trading their shares of state owned businesses with each other.

  15.  @namei8967  and immediately get offed. No, governments regardless of origins tend to keep paying people regardless if they have work for them. What has happened in Communist recessions is state assets are sold off and non-competes are voided. For instance, socialism in North Korea collapsed years ago because people were paid but the government had no work for them and there was nothing to buy with it. Kitchen industries spread to make up the gap and later this practice was allowed, putting NK back in the wet market economy it was before Communism.

  16. @namei8967  It literally isn't. Many businesses are state owned, many are not. Anti-trust laws do not apply to the government

  17.  @oussb7660  the Syrians were extremely racist towards Jews and treated them the same as the Turks and Kurds treated the Armenians. What he said isn't a "racial slur," it is literally what happened. And their motives had nothing to do with politics, they were simply an easy target for pirate, human traffickers, and for tribal expansionism.

  18.  @oussb7660  the Mizrahim. The Arab born Jews. They use to be disenfranchised minority of over 110,000 Jews all over Syria but in the decades following 1948 they were purged in pogroms. Some murdered or jailed for their property, others not allowed to work or buy groceries, many synagogues were banned arbitrarily as they were called "Zionist organizations," and others simply beaten with impunity. Those who did not flee all died sadly. The Syrians promptly forgot they ever had local Jews. Their parents and teachers all refused to talk about it or lied saying they fought Zionist infiltrators/spies. A similar story occurred in Iraq, Egypt, Yemen, and Iran.

  24.  @Steve-sg3uz  come on, we both know if you were concerned about proof you wouldn't be talking trash on the internet... Much less straight up lying about reforms that never happened. You sound like one of those greedos from wallstreetbets angry the Fed screwed over your puts.

  36. TIK, there is no "pre-capitalistic days." In pre-industrial days it was quite common for men to struggle to feed their families, something factories and trains largely solved

  41. No, only major Jewish commie was Trotsky, famous in Russia for getting murdered by Stalin. For the Russians I met, the personal murder is what turns them off from Stalin

  42. Arabs wish they had something like that. One Libyan woman who was raped by Gaddafi himself said that Tunisians in Paris (Tunisia was Gaddafi's Arab enemy) were belligerantly pro-Gaddafi simply because he tried to murder white people and actively harassed/threatened her for so much as mentioning what Gaddafi was really like

  43. 5:10 HEAT rounds weren't invented until after the war. Those guns could have disabled Soviet tank tracks but wouldn't have pierced armor.
