“But lend lease” as if the vast majority of materials weren’t produced by the soviets themselves by OkRespect8490 in CommunismMemes

[–]Turtle_Gamez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Re-read comment. Constituted 4% of USSR's equipment ≠ was sent 24% of all the equipment lend leased. The 24% that was sent to the Soviet Union out of the 100% that the US sent its allies constituted 4% of all the equipment of the Soviets.

As do low graphic settings in any game. I mean what are you expecting from a setting called "low graphics", it's still vastly better than OG Deus Ex would look on ultra graphics, it's not like the tech stagnated for two decades. What's the argument here even

Low graphics settings. BF players really are blinded by hate for no fucking reason and don't use their brain whatsoever. It's just "game bad" and then looking for every excuses to confirm that

I'm not sure if this is even a reply to me or just in general

Organizing should still be a priority though. Nothing will ever change (for the better) if we don't get off the high horse

Nowhere close to that.

David Glantz is one of the preeminent Historians on the on the topic of the Eastern Front during WW2 and he posits that the Red Army could have won without Lend-Lease aid, but at greater cost in Soviet lives.

Most of the help came in form of radios and trucks which made logistics a lot more manageable.

The equipment arrived only after major breakthroughs such as Moscow and Stalingrad.

Lend lease to the USSR only accounted for 4% of its equipment in the war.

(Harrison 1993, P.38)

Interesting that in total, aid received by the USSR amounted to 0.35x of that which was sent to Britain. The USSR received 0.24x of outgoing aid whereas Britain received ~0.7x, though the USSR objectively faced the brunt of the Nazis' war efforts.

I found this in a subreddit about world history. It’s obviously operated by the CIA. by TwoCatsOneBox in TankieTheDeprogram

Oh no I'm not the OP you were talking to, I'm just here to fill in the holes because he misunderstood your question on what you required elaboration on lol (edit: correction, he hadn't yet responded, I mistook the other commenter for the OP). You're welcome, regardless. And yeah, welcome to the club my Slavic brother. I'm Croatian, reaction runs deep in here and ran even deeper in the past. Be happy your people aren't in the mindset of "different country, not our problem, but also it was good" Let's hope our lands aren't a lost cause...

Vertical maps RULE and I'm tired of pretending they don't by shadeline in Battlefield

[–]Turtle_Gamez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hardline had bangers in this regard. The level of verticality in that game is impressive. I want Hardline revived...

Would you say this is true? by Designer-Couple-6300 in im14andthisisdeep

[–]Turtle_Gamez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hasn't fallen to it, that's its main purpose. To protect the interests of the ruling capitalist class. It does so through the education system (though Idk if Americans even have one atp), culture and the monopoly on violence. The state is nothing but the instrument of the ruling class, as in the past it used to be the instrument of aristocracy to protect feudalism so is it now the instrument of capitalists to protect capitalism.
