Zelensky's former spokesperson. clown

Both China (20+ million people lost) and Vietnam suffered heavily under Japanese occupation, and Kazakhstan (like Ukraine) was literally part of the USSR. Gotta love how these pathetic fascists attempt to rewrite history. pit

WWII, a war famous for being confined to specific regions

I just love this comment so much

That's why it's called the World War, as we know.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Uh if it actually happened in poor countries wouldn’t it be called be the Third World War? /s

Other countries have inferior potassium and are jealous.

i am saddened that kazakhstan's only exposure to some is fucking borat.

Being forgotten is one of the things that enabled them to be far less heavily looted and plunded than a lot of other former soviet nations though.

They aren't doing as bad as say, the Baltics since the Soviet collapse, still worse, but not as bad as some other former Soviet nations. I was making a joke about western Europeans and Americans basically forgetting about them when doing their looting and plundering of former soviet territories. Though that is probably more geography and resources than anything else.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh, I believe Kazakhstan is well plundered and looted by the West, just look at, e.g., the ownership structure of some major oil development companies. And I give this specific example because of how illustrative it is, with energy production being one of the drivers of Kazakhstan's economy in the first 30 years of independence, similar evidence can be found in Kazakh agriculture, aluminium, copper, etc. development and refinement, and other industries. Kazakhstan is doing well because its leadership let foreign capitalists loot and plunder, not in spite of it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, I didn't mean they escaped unscathed, just that things aren't as bad as they could be. Still pretty bad though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I guess what I was mainly trying to say is that the difference between Kazakhstan and, e.g., Baltic states is not the degree of plundering but rather what was being plundered. It is much easier to be plundered beneficially when you're so rich in resources and poor in manufacturing than vice versa.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah, that's a very solid point. You're absolutely right, I was just making a silly joke, but it is important to not forget the actual material conditions of these places.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

so close... yet so far away

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 week ago (3 children)

It would actually be difficult to be this wrong.

Meanwhile current Ukrainian military members marched in the British VE Day Celebration Parade days after members of the British state had yet more fawning meetings and selfie opportunities with Azov Nazis.

In slightly better news a British SAS man nicknamed 'Swampy', who has been training & supporting some of Azovs most openly Nazi groups since 2014, was killed in Ukraine this week.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It's amazing how much the British were celebrating with parades and shit these last few days. They weren't anywhere near Berlin. The Soviets took the city with the US not far away approaching from the other direction. You'd think thousands of Englishmen stormed the FΓΌhrerbunker, with many of them dying in the process, with how much gloating was going on this week. Germans had to fight through eastern European Allies to get to the western Allies in order to surrender because that's how encircled they were. Fucking Poland had more involvement than the Brits for the final defeat of the nazis.

Hell yeah we had two armies in the battle for Berlin. Who are now being slowly erased from the history or at best calles "Soviet puppets" in order to prop up literal forest collaborators and the actual British puppets who were used by western allies as cannon fodder along the colonial troops.

The German Enigma code was also first cracked by the Poles

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah, though i seen Brits often taking the merit for themselves in TV.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

You're right in terms of Berlin and the final days of the war. And the way it was taught here in school way back when you'd think we were the most important and heavily effected country by WW2 despite the massive sacrifice of the Soviet Union, the number of Poles sent to camps etc. Still, half a million dead and years long bombing campaigns at home aren't nothing. I went to school near the coast and it was a regular occurrence for us to be sent home for safety because they kept finding unexploded German ordnance on the beaches and cliffs nearby even then.

That being said, in my lifetime I've watched the original meaning and sentiment of remembrance and VE Day completely warp in this country. It's almost exclusively a pro-militarist, culture war thing now, with the noisiest people about it being almost exclusively made up of shallow American-style 'salute the troops you traitor' types. And don't get me started on the fucking poppy these days...

Swampy

Cw: anti british racism??

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, the chilling in bogs thing would have been extremely gross to the Romans upon arrival. British bogs have a lot of peat and are much more sterile due to being acidic and having low amounts of oxygen in the water. Bodies can be preserved in bogs for centuries. Relatively safe for chilling in on a warm summer afternoon.

Swamps the Romans were used to were riddled with disease and parasites, taking a dip could give you a whole tasting platter of fungal, viral and bacterial infections, a dozen leeches and god knows what else

As someone not from the region and who has never been, it's surprisingly easy for me to not die in Ukraine. Don't know what this guy's issue was πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Iran was also occupied by the British and USSR despite being neutral. And had it just been the British they probably would never have left.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Did they ever really though

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago

but they weren't in the hollywood movies so they don't count. lol

Who wasn't involved in WW2

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Ireland was neutral although 80k Irish served in the British army during the war. we also let the Allies use our airspace as well as supplying intelligence and weather reports covertly.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Spain, Portugal (if you don't count the Japanese Invasion of Macau and East Timor), Switzerland, Sweden, Afghanistan. Peru and Ecuador both supported the allies but still went to war against each other in 1942.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Spain literally send a division to fight for the nazis but to maintain pretense of neutrality it was officially included in wehrmacht, look Division Azul.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

Spain was providing intel to the nazis though, even if they weren't actively fighting, they were clearly supporting one side.

They didn't fight per se but they definitely stole a shitload of gold from jews and were economically siding the nazis

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Was sarcastic.

Edit: fuck guess I really am a woman if people don't understand my jokes lol.
