The Thirty Years' War didn’t have tanks in it so it’s not to be considered a war. I also like to bring to your attention, that I’m a mod at askhistorian. So if you don’t agree with me, you will get banned.
Dang, since leaving the other place you can only afford the one historian? A pity.
in the west "history enthusiast" is simply the common euphemism for wehraboo. ask those people anything but military history (history of literature, architecture, philosophy etc) and they wont know shit. and even in their supposed field of expertise they will rather praise some stupid nazi wunderwaffen than to accept that the fascist menace rightfully lost.
we liberated europe from fascism and they will never forgive us for it.
Marshal Zhukov
They liberated it from fascism, and now they're fighting imperialist wars to bring it back!
Quite ironic, if you ask me.
america and the west are the fascist empire, as they are the ones who support the banderites in the ukraine, as well as the genocidal occupation of palestine, not to speak of all the neocolonialism in the global south in general. every violence against them is self defense.
the ukraine
It's just Ukraine, you Russian shill.
Slava Ukraini!
Russian doesn't have articles, but a lot of languages do. It's difficult enough for us non English speakers to have to write and read in a language we barely have active contact with. As founded your opinion over this tankie is, let this mild grammatic mistakes slide.
They referred to the entire West as fascist... I highly doubt it was a "mild grammatical mistake."
I was just issuing the "the Ukraine" thing
Edgy
Love it though. Like, its coming from an idiot, but it is a fun image.
Jaysus can ye not just slag adolescent boys for their stupid history?
Do ye have to make everyfuckingthing about your same talking points?
I dare you to say that to the face of Ukrainian women and children being kidnapped and raped by Russian soldiers.
you are the one who cheered on the mass murder and rape of russian civilians by azov fascists since 2014.
Ah, I didnt know we could invent shit. Let me try, you cheered when russia downed a plane full of civilians faking an assassination attempt to putin in the ukrainian border... wait, that happened... (well, idk if you cheered, that would be too much)
the plane youre talking about was downed by ukronazis, something the entire world except for the west knows.
Got a source on that, comrade?
So, "the entire world except the west" is just russia now? Even for a troll, this is really sad.
Yeah, I'm not clicking on sketchy websites that come from Russian-State owned media who clearly have no bias in regards to the war they started.
I'm sorry the "fascist West" decided to sanction Russia for their numerous crimes in history, and considering the facts that Russia has sent spies to kill numerous people on foreign soils because they had the audacity to criticize Der Putin, who himself only rose to power by bombing apartment blocks of his own people, maybe you should read sources that, idk, come from less biased organizations?
But what do I know, I just stand with Ukraine's right to defend their country against bullshit wars that the Russian government can't seem to win. Maybe when one of those "fascist West" countries, like Sweden or Finland or even France, claim the Russians didn't shoot down that plane, I'll believe them. But I wouldn't wipe my ass with anything the Russian state wants the world to believe.
The entire world except for the west? I remember that russia said it wasn't them, but were there other governments that said that too? /gen
Fun fact: You know why WWII has been an incredibly prolific genre for history documentaries?
Hours and hours of public domain footage taken by the U.S. military. All of the Nazi footage is also public domain.
They make them because they're as cheap to make as you could make a history documentary. And people eat them up anyway.
TIL, I was somewhat wondering why there are SO many WWII documentaries
WW2 tanks and planes are cool as hell and interesting. The tank museum YouTube channel is amazing.
Other facets of history are really interesting too though.
When I was in high school, the history teacher you got was like winning the lottery. One teacher showed war movies and had “fun” assignments related to that movie. The other teacher had written assignments almost every class.
I got super lucky… He was a fantastic teacher. Last I heard, some students ratted on him and he had to change his curriculum.
That's the kind of history enthusiast I was as a kid, but I outgrew it. I still find the history or warfare interesting, but there are so many other facets of history that are equally fascinating and a lot more relevant to our lives today.
In high school I asked why tanks weren't such a thing in Vietnam. And my Vietnam veteran teacher worked it around to how Ho Chi Minh was ignored by everyone except the Russians after World War 1. Seeing how all the lines came together to make that happen and then make the Vietnam war feel almost as inevitable as it was forlorn really gave me a sense of history.
He was my math teacher. My history teacher literally put names and dates on a slide for us to copy.
American history classes are such shit. I thought I hated the topic til I was an adult.
History as it's taught in schools is awful. Even segments on WWII get reduced to nazis bad, holocaust bad, allies good then USSR went bad.
Okay so this really long time ago in Italy there was a war over a bucket
The U.S. and Britain once almost went to war over a pig that got shot for eating potatoes out of a garden.
