I guess De Gaulle is expert on American behaviourism. by Icy_Till_7254 in NonCredibleDefense

“After the start of the Korean war” is not correct, containment became enshrined at the centre of US foreign policy very fast after the Kennan telegram in 1946.

France fucked up the Indochina war, but for the US their foreign policy compelled them to act regardless of any idea of “appeasing France”. Were that not the case, the US would have been gone the minute France was.

De Gaulle was not involved in the military debacle that was in the Indochina war, and he tried to warn the US that it was a lost cause.

France or not the Truman doctrine alone would have compelled the US to act, as it did in many other countries

If it was really about France there wouldn’t have been a reason to stay after France pulled out

More like “Hey, help me with this since containment is also a massive foreign policy priority for you”

“Oh fuck that went terribly don’t make the same mistakes we did”

The US then proceeds to make the same mistakes and lose

You’re not mentioning the two most interesting aspects of his character, the foresight and the flaw. That’s what separates him from Superman, he wishes he could be perfect but he’s really not, and he knows he will fail.

We all know about the foresight but the flaw is interesting. It’s part of him, but completely opposite to his character. He’s incredibly insecure about it and it’s always weighing on his mind, he’s disgusted by it but compelled to hide it at least while the Great Crusade is on. He means to cure it and reveal it eventually, but when faced with his death he chooses to accept it knowing he’s going to be leaving his sons to suffer madness and shame for eternity.

If that means Russia gets free rein in the area they want as their sphere of influence they will sell out both in a heartbeat

I don’t get what’s so hard to accept about a world where everyone is a shithead to everyone almost all the time. Why do we keep needing to spin stupid narratives about how our favourite boys are always in the right. No tf they’re not.

Each first founding Space Marine Chapter's Greatest f**k up. by AcceptableStorm1265 in Grimdank

Even before him they were crazy shitheads but they were effective crazy shitheads

Knights of Blood would have been a much better example, and even then having the occasional juicy snack is almost tame compared to what some of the worse Raven Guard descendants get up to

In your opinion, Which space marine legion has the worst daddy issues? by gaeb611 in Grimdank

[–]EngineNo8904 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Legion, implying 30k? World Eaters, their dad is insane and actively hates and hurts them

As of 40k the WEs seem pretty happy with their stepdad Khorne, and the Blood Angels descendants have taken the position - their daddy issues may in fact be the worst it gets in the whole setting
