  1. The radioactivity of uranium is so tiny as to be entirely irrelevant. That you get lots of uranium dust from DU shells and that the metal is toxic does matter.

  2. There is practically zero radiation.

  3. Have you ever tried comparing the Ribbentrop-Molotov division line with Germany’s pre-Versailles border? There is a very good argument to be made there and it very much favour as Germany.

  4. Just like “anti-Semite” means someone who doesn’t like Israel, “islamophobe” is someone who doesn’t like mass immigration of stupid and criminal people, and “anti-Fascist” means Communist. Words are weird.

  5. Did she work with hydrazine? That’s a known carcinogen.

  6. More like: the Finns double-crossed the Germans who then had to fight their way out of Finland. They would have loved to be able to leave peacefully.

  7. The self-sharpening and the easier machining are two very real advantages. Uranium is also pyrophoric, which is another advantage.

  8. Kim Jong Un is tall in any orientation.

  9. Ground water isn’t much of a thing in Mesopotamia, which famously relies on two rivers with rain water and melt water from the mountains (on both sides of the border with Turkey) for almost all its water. The rest is a big, dry sandbox.

  10.  @spxram4793  Poland was extremely mismanaged when it was independent. The “Russian” parts were also extremely mismanaged. The German and Austrian parts were very well managed — and even today have better roads, railways, houses, etc. Hungary was only hard hit in the sense that huge areas that weren’t at all Hungarian and didn’t want to be Hungarian no longer were Hungarian. Sure, a few Hungarian minorities remained in Romania, but that was about it. In all other respects, Germany was far harder hit.

  11.  @spxram4793  those who had better under Russia’s thumb had very different opinions than those who had been under German rule. The extreme Polish nationalism of the time was largely on the “Russian” side. Later sentiments had more to do with what people were taught in schools than with historical facts.
