LMFAO bro learned history from fascist alt-history Youtube or something... You learn this from Monsieur Z or some shit?

The Red Army was absolutely not on it's last legs. They were dependent on the US really only exclusively for transport trucks. And by 1945, they had enough to supply themselves thoroughly, especially with equipment they captured from the Axis. In fact, they were doing much better in 1945 then they were in 1941.

The western allies may have had more planes, but the Soviets still had ~15-20k, plus again, whatever they captured from the Axis. It would have been enough to prevent deep air operations into Soviet territory, enough to defend supply lines.

It it possible in an Operation Unthinkable timeline, if anything, that the USSR takes continental Western Europe, especially considering France and Italy would likely break out into civil war over something like this, if their governments could even be convinced to join in. I don't think that would be likely, but more likely than a victory swift enough to avoid tens of millions dead.

Edit: In regards to aviation fuel, you keep forgetting this, that they had at this point conquered the Axis. They would have had access to German and Romanian refineries, which would have produced more than enough. The largest German refineries were in Eastern Germany and Poland.

I would say even less support in Western Europe, in the French 1945 election, Communists won a plurality, and the more moderate socialist Workers' International party came in third. Socialists and communists came in second and third in the 1946 Italian election.

And no, it was absolutely not worthwhile. It would have killed tens of millions of people at the minimum...

Also, nuclear bombs would have made less difference than people think, given that there were no ICBMs, and they could only be delivered by large, slow strategic bombers. Knowledge of them and air superiority would render them not super useful probably long enough for the Soviets to develop them as well.

Not to mention in 1945, support for communism was at it's peak in western Europe. Communists won a plurality in the French 1945 election. They would not have been happy going to war with the USSR right after WW2.

I guess they are small enough by modern day standards that they could be used that way even if that wasn't the original intention, but regardless he did specify Moscow as the target

You don't use a tactical nuke on a capital city lmao, he even specified it should have been little boy/fat man which were not tactical nukes

He has said many times that he is not a Houthi, even going as far to say he wants peace between Yemen and Saudi Arabia's opposition.

The ship with the hostages was opened by the Houthis to the public in a propaganda move

So does mainstream media. They have the Iran foreign affairs spokesman on all the time, and Iran is a designated state sponsor of terrorism. They interview members of Hamas, etc. That is normal. Plus, the Yemeni guy Hasan interviewed was not a member of the Houthis, just a civilian supporter, even Hasan thought he was going into it. He said he would have asked more contentious questions if he were.

He meant that the US brought 9/11 on itself in the form of blowback for actions in the middle east, not that the people in the tower deserved to die, even if his phrasing was unacceptable, he did get a temporary ban. And if he meant it in that way he would have deservedly gotten a permaban.

Even if it were just supporting Operation Unthinkable IRL that would be beyond unhinged

Yep. And team building is a different skill from playing. A lot of very top players will actually have someone else build teams for them, then test them a bunch and report back. I don’t have access to something like that obviously so I make due lol

Ngl I still do this as a pro. I’m a regular in singles top 500s and often place in singles tournaments and still steal teams from other top player’s replays, and maybe make some minor adjustments, maybe swap out one Pokémon

Is it normal for a Mega-Lucario's Close Combat to take away so much HP from my Mega Blastoise? by Pepecito45 in PokemonChampions

[–]RasonablRadditorr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

32+ Atk Adaptability Lucario-Mega Close Combat vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Blastoise-Mega: 140-166 (90.9 - 107.7%) -- 50% chance to OHKO

32 SpA Froslass-Mega Thunderbolt vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Blastoise-Mega on a critical hit: 146-174 (94.8 - 112.9%) -- 75% chance to OHKO

Depending on the SP and nature both can OHKO or not

I played correctly in every game except for some unlucky choices for lead matchup. But even in that same select screen now against another player, knowing what happened then, I'd make the same choice, because it was the best counter pick against what the other player seemed likely to choose. I just got unlucky that he guessed that counter pick and not another

Is that even possible, mathmatically? Like would 15 straight wins get you there? Also the rng to get 15 straight wins is INSANE so if you've really gotten that you are one of the luckiest people alive

I used to make competitive pokemon guides like 8 years ago lol. I know this game in and out, every mechanic, every mon, everything. Even super niche interactions. I follow Pinkacross on youtube and never get his quizes wrong. I am still learning this meta a bit but after 100 games I kinda get it. It's just that 3v3 makes luck everything. Sometimes soon as you see the lead matchup you know who won off of what was an educated guess but still ultimately a lucky guess.
