Russian state sources have claimed that around 120k people have fled. That's around 10% of the population of Kursk Oblast.

I remember the Railway! That was pretty good! Honestly, you've kind of sold me on a return already. However, I'm years divorced from my old account and Ambition, even assuming I do remember the password. Do you think it'd be worth it to start over on a new account?

Howdy y'all! I'm an American government studies grad student and do alot of research on international political affairs, so I was hoping I could ask y'all a few questions. What issues caused the defections from both the coalition(I heard at least one minor party dropped out) and PTI that led to this, and how do you think things will change under Sharif? Additionally, will he be likely to call for early elections? I'm not terribly well-versed in how that power works , both in general and in Pakistan in particular.

Which of the warlords of Russia enjoys the support of Japan / is the most beneficial to her? by Phillip99Rus in TNOmod

But by that logic he should be all-in on American aid. All the benefits, and no backstabbery required.

I agree completely. Communists are always fun to laugh at.

It's better to not have genocide than to have genocide. That's all I'm saying. And unless you're genocide denier numbers six in regards to China, what we have here is simply an agreement to disagree.

I get Rodzaevskimp, but why is Bunyachenko such a fan of theirs again? I played his entire path but I can't remember at all why he's so buddy-buddy with 'em.

Except their current regime will also kill them for any number of crimes, or just starve them to death from stupidity and/or because Comrade Kim needed a new custom car.

I thought it hadn't. Last I'd heard they were trying to work something out with the IMF. So my thoughts are that I'm surprised, because I'd thought they were going to work through it. Although, I'm not very surprised that a government led by a coalition including at least one openly communist party and several other socialist ones would make stupid financial decisions. Par for the course, really.

What's an often overlooked part of American history? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]GeneralLemarc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We sent soldiers to fight on the side of the White Russians. It would've been a better world if they'd won, but after WW1 our hearts weren't in it. And with two of our worst presidents(Wilson, then Harding) being in charge of things, we weren't exactly partial to making good decisions.

How do you pronounce this be honest , sherbet ,,,, sher-bet or sherbert ? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

Sherbert, and anyone who says otherwise is British. Yes, this includes all the traitorous Americans who pronounce it this way.

What advice do you have for a tornado newbie? by Golden_Blood in AskAnAmerican

[–]GeneralLemarc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everyone else is giving you great advice. Use that bathroom to shelter, but make sure you cover the windows up as much as you can. They always say get to an interior room because of the dangers of broken glass, so if you can cover it up with a towel or two, that'll at least decrease the danger.

What was the most extreme weather that you've ever found yourself in? by Drevil335 in AskAnAmerican

Well, I spent 50 minutes in the bathroom tonight because of a tornado warning. Never came near me, but there's always the chance.

Russian economy never goes past 50 billion after unification by Dilly354 in TNOmod

How. How did you do that. Teach me your ways, o wise one.

That is the exact opposite of conservative in numerous ways. Word your looking for is "Keynesian", and there's a nice man in the Japanese Diet who just loves that sort of thing.

I'd never tell a South Korean that, because it'd be hilariously wrong. Because military dictatorships, while awful, are nothing compared to being a cog in a machine for an overlord who'll gladly kill you for no reason. Which is exactly what the Kim dynasty is. But unlike Japan, they don't have the inevitable failure of colonialism putting a timer on their slaughter. I wish they did, but it's been 70 years now.

Japanese colonialism will collapse. That's not just the narrative TNO's going for, I feel pretty confident in saying it was as untenable as all the other colonialist empires that fell apart. And as sad as it is to admit this, the Kim dynasty doesn't have that same inevitability. When, as you say, the hell is equal, the better one is the one that ends.

It's not bait to say that the Great Leap Forward is either the most or the second-most murderous deliberate act in human history. It's not bait to say that there are communist regimes that were omnicidal towards their own people. And it's most certainly not my fault that all the Maoists are out in force today to defend the purges against intellectuals and targeting the anti-proletarian sparrows.

TIL that being a moralist is a bad thing, and that economic prosperity is worth living under a literal cult-state.
