  1. Jakarta Cathedral was built before the Russian Revolution. Still standing.

  2. I am not saying that there is much to be done in the case of Poland. However, Bulgaria, mostly inhabited by South Slavs, did quite well during WW2. Involvement in the genocide has also been vastly exaggerated. Bulgaria was the only Axis country that increased its pre-war territory.

  3. Liberals think Stalin didn't have racial fetishes. "The Finnish Government also accepts the obligation to intern German and Hungarian nationals in Finnish territory" Why not Swedes? This explains why colonel Aladár Paasonen joined the CIA. He was born in Budapest, Hungary.

  4.  @_Abjuranax_  Stalin was probably suffocated with a pillow. You may be right, but you cannot know with 100% certainty. Dönitz was the last man standing. I think the Mitchell and Webb sketch was pretty funny.

  6. Werner Teske was the last person to be executed in East Germany before the death penalty was abolished in 1987. Putin claims that he resigned with the rank of lieutenant colonel on 20 August 1991, on the second day of the 1991 Soviet coup d'état attempt against the Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev.

  7. They have since banned mines to facilitate the entry of Russians, but the army has still not been disbanded. I think it (Ottawa Treaty) is a mistake because demining technology has improved. To my recollection, Finnish troop numbers peaked peaked in the 1970s. After all, we wouldn’t have needed the Army if there was no threat.

  8. Interestingly, two of my comments were deleted. Apparently, asking a question or quoting a statistic gathered by the International Diabetes Federation, is not allowed. I humbly apologize to my overlords.

  9. At least the Forssa program mentions direct democracy as its goal, which they rejected after the war. Originally quite moderately socialist, albeit progressive

  11.  @TheImperatorKnight  Also, if you want to promote libertarianism, a list of some of the most popular tax haven countries is far better than reminding people of the Irish Potato Famine. On the other hand, countries that were relatively unaffected by the WW2 such as  Sweden  experienced considerable economic growth from 1945 to 1973.

  12. I’m not sure if they were so far-sighted that they would have hoped for the US occupation. Interestingly, Brezhnev canceled the German "Volksarmee" invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968.

  15.  B A  Poland's geographical position was notoriously difficult. However, the Polish government-in- exile didn't declare war on Finland. Mannerheim had spent many years in Poland, at one point leading a regiment stationed in the Royal Łazienki.

  16.  @88porpoise  Says a lot that less than 3,500 of the 500,000 Finns surrendered. 95,000 KIA. They preferred to take a bullet.

  17. @lati long I like how Russians make this same argument. Probably 6% were Benito's fans. Only 0,5% joined the Nazies after the Winter War.

  19. Professor at the University of Turku says that no evidence has been found against Finnish SS men. A complete myth that all SS men would have committed crimes. https://yle.fi/uutiset/3-11183858

  20.  @handle1603  You don't rant about Mengistu Haile Mariam. The only reason you would rant about Germans is that you are a racist.

  21.  @OchotaJack  Surprisingly, not even the Greeks have heard of Greece. Ioannis Ladas glorified not only the 4th of August Regime, but also the Third Reich. As a colonel in 1967, he was in charge of the Greek Military Police https://youtu.be/kZ3T0DDgroY

  22.  @OchotaJack  Ladas fought, as an officer, in the Greco-Italian War of 1940.

  24. @Le Petit Historien Monarchies also vary a lot ranging from constitutional to absolutism. And some alleged constitutional monarchy may not be such in practice. Sweden, Bhutan and Brunei are very different.

  25. Urho Kekkonen was a neo-Nazi after deporting Jewish refugees already during the war. Although he did not actually persecute any single group, he favored the Nordics. As a corporatist, Kekkonen balanced between employers and trade unions. He also accepted quite a bit of criticism. https://suomenpresidentit.fi/kekkonen/?lang=en Finland's jews: https://youtu.be/emgOzd0ng1A

  26.  @panosfasoul699  Radicalism is the opposite of conservatism. Someone might say Hitler was radical. Liberal conservatism is popular especially in developed countries. e.g The People's Action Party in Singapore. Of course a person can be a radical young man and later an old conservative dictator, like Castro. This has nothing to do with economic policy. For example, Thai military junta is authoritarian and conservative.

  28.  @catacutan96  TIK mentioned the famine in Siberia. Due to self-sufficiency, the impact on indigenous peoples was probably less severe. Their main subsistence comes from hunting and reindeer herding. The more of these precious resources you use, the more reliance you will have on others. Even in difficult situations, the reindeer liver can be used as a medium of exchange.

  29.  @TheImperatorKnight  That sounds like drug cartel propaganda. Although some countries use the word "drugstore", prescription medicine is not a drug. It's a completely different matter to buy heroin from a criminal than to take legal stimulants. British soldiers, like others, are prescribed medicines (modafil etc.) as needed.

  31. That's one of my favorites. I have doubts about everything that has been written since the 1980s.

  32. Russia was a dictatorship as it is today, but I don’t think they are starving.

  33.  @TheImperatorKnight  It's not a very cold city. The Stalingrad film (1993) was shot partly in Finland in much colder conditions. When you look at old photos, there is not much snow even in January.

  34. I suspect it's around 11 million. More if you count from 1933. I think it's good idea to set a 19yo NCO as the company commander for a while. This happened near Malgobek, when the Nordland regiment was obliterated in 1942, a real life scenario.

  35.  @LazyPictures  Bulgaria acted wisely by going into Cold War mode right from the start, and then switched sides.

  36. According to the legend, that particular stug III switched from the axis powers to the allies, and is still in service https://youtu.be/fJs-7D878h8

  37. 30:50 Your image of the American Nazi is historically inaccurate, because the KKK was anti-Catholic at the time. Also, most of Afrikaners were Protestants. They were British allies (cannon fodder). Italy, Austria, Slovakia and Croatia are mostly Catholic.

  38. Socialism means co-ownership. Under communism, some gangsters try to run oil production inefficiently. Unemployed are excluded from the state's provision of security in both capitalism and communism.

  39.  @CB-py1xh  Yes, that is one-party socialism, which often leads to autocracy or even dynasty. Eventually, to conservatism. In a dictatorship, working class ownership depends on the whims of those in power. All Western countries are jointly owned, although the percentage varies from country to country.

  40. ​ @comiccollex958 In Finland, we have higher taxation than in Cuba. I would be under a bridge without my grandfather's forest and fields. He was more prosperous than many of us.

  44. Marshal is like the leader of a small nation. People think that oak leaves are distributed to everyone. Even if I was better than Manstein, it wouldn't change anything without implementation in real life. They also strongly criticize even those who tried to assassinate Hitler, which is strange. Our dear leader A. Hitler?

  45.  @uschurch  I am a sympathizer, but I’m not a fan of interventionism and preemptive strikes. Rather, I am in favor of small nations such as Quebec, Scotland, Ireland and Estonia.

  46. Against women, says thumbnail. Basically, you found one year in a thousand years of history when perhaps some of the Allies were better at this particular topic. Most of them aren’t better, though. New Zealand is up there, I'll give you that.

  47. To the best of my recollection, Putin speaks German and lived in DDR. He arrived in Dresden in the mid-1980s. Sergei Lavrov claimed that Nazi leader Adolf Hitler "had Jewish blood". Perhaps Russia can be called nazbol state inspired by Strasserism

  50. Even that is deliberate propaganda, because Barbarossa succeeded beyond expectations and ended in December fifth.
