  1. So let me get this straight. Millions of Soviets starved to death before, during and after WW2 was due to brilliant libertarian logistics?

  2.  @SmotritelMayaka29  Taliban won thanks to their incredible logistics, hygiene and ingenuity.

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

  4.  @echochamber4095  According to Peter Thiel, Competition is For Losers. As a Centrist optimist, I think both monopolies are fine. However, the commission has launched three separate  antitrust  investigations into Google. They'll make the final decision in summer. I think tax evasion is a more serious matter than antitrust violations. In Finland, Google is not among the top 100.

  5. You are cherry picking in such a way that proper randomization is not achieved. For example, the Brazilian Expeditionary Force consisted of about 25,900 men out of 40 million. Is that good logistics, when several million men didn't leave home. Most allies never arrived at the battlefield.

  6.  @TheImperatorKnight  Then what's the problem? Imagine 4.5 million Brazilians storming the beaches of Italy. They could have changed history.

  7. At least according to Democrats, Trump has been bought

  8. To my understanding, they bought the fancy knives with their own currency and kept them after the war. State property is usually reduced, yet durable.

  9. The North Korean logistics are amazing. Seriously, one of my schoolmates visited there.

  11. Problem with Laissez-faire is not the formation of a monopoly but a poor defense capability. For example, the 2019–20 Hong Kong protests.

  13. Although water supply and sanitation in Mexico is getting better, it's amusing how the mayor of Mexico city is a Jewish socialist. Neza (Mexico City) is considered dangerous, even by drug war-plagued Mexico's standards. While Mexico officially only saw a bit of aerial combat, thousands of Mexican servicemen did fight, wearing a uniform of the United States.

  14. Jorge Ubico was a logistics genius. On 9 December 1941, Guatemala declared war on Japan, and three days later, it declared war on Germany and Italy. Ubico believed that he resembled Bonaparte, and his nickname was "the Little Napoleon of the Tropics". In 1940 Guatemala had a population of 2.4 million. No casualties were reported, excluding clashes between protesters and the military.

  15. In practice, the difference with modern times is that a larger number of people decide how to allocate resources. There is no such thing as a pure market economy. The army goes where the Marshal's sword points, as we say. https://youtu.be/I4PIlf8qrm8

  16. Pakistan has both a nuclear weapon and incredible logistics. After partition the British Indian Army was divided between the new Indian Army and the Pakistan Army. https://youtu.be/YlPyaOESM6M

  18. Mortality was quite low during the Operation Nordlicht (1944–45), which could have evolved into a new Stalingrad. They pretty much flattened half of Finland. Wood gas truck @3:09 https://youtu.be/_E9NU3mclCU

  19.  @SmotritelMayaka29  Finland was less motorized and still won

  20.  @stevehomeier8368  "500,000 Soviet reservists captured while still mobilizing."... When the one with the rifle gets killed, the one who is following picks up the rifle and shoots!

  21. By sending state-of-the-art surveillance equipment to Vietnam and training cadres in Hanoi in how to make efficient use of those devices, the East German Stasi enabled the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security to track down internal and external enemies and to perform operational work that was of major significance for the struggle in South Vietnam.

  22. They have a budget. Weapons come in a variety of prices and qualities, which are then tested and users share experiences. It’s not significantly different from the U.S. military. What was the Polish economy like since it was totally crushed? Also, the Finnish economy was libertarian with the overall tax burden around 15%, yet it barely survived as a state.

  23. Isn't fission bomb a bit over-engineered weapon?

  24.  @ronmaximilian6953  As well as insecticide?

  26. Also, Liechtenstein was looted during WW2 by the Allies. It was a historic state of the Holy Roman Empire, now a miniscule village. They bathe in money, though.

  27. I wonder how they paid for the getaway to South America. Was it libertarian logistics? At least some submarine captains chose Norway as their location to surrender.

  28. With the help of the USSR, Nationale Volksarmee became a top logistics expert. Freier Deutsche Gewerkschaftsbund or FDGB was one of the world’s largest trade unions from 1946 to 1990. The single trade union was also very important as a source of new blood for the military.

  29. This entire video is borderline denialism. Does he expect the Germans to build the entire infrastructure in a few years for them, which is still not done.

  30. Wow, a Finnish truck drove over an Austrian mine. This is as real as it gets static.sotasampo.fi/photographs/lg/sakuva_lg_148840.jpg

  31. Kekkonen once took some soil of his cottage to Moscow as a gift. Maybe it would have been vulgar to put Finnish sand on Churchill’s coffin?

  32. As former and still breathing conscript, it can also be seen as life insurance.

  33. Éamon de Valera, Urho Kekkonen, Alfons Gorbach, Ludwig Erhard and Walter Ulbricht were present at Churcill's funeral. LBJ was ill at the time. What a sight.

  34. There are more surviving monarchs in continental Europe under the influence of Nazi Germany, which makes me think that socialism was not so far advanced. Please correct me, if you know about the monarchs of Eastern Europe. Apparently, George VI, was invited to the Soviet Union by Josef Stalin but turned it down.

  35. You have became the very thing you swore to destroy, said Obi-Wan Kenobi. Walter Ulbricht began to push for party unification after the poor performance of communist parties in elections in Hungary and Austria in November 1945. Like it or not, they became "red-painted  Nazis".

  36. Depends on what you mean by the British. Chinese were by far the largest nationality.

  37. Americans buy literally heroin from a drugstore. Canadians spend significantly less money with better results.
