I would be willing to bet that the water dispenser arm has snapped off. And I know from experience, coke takes FOREVER to send a tech out to fix their machines.

You do know that Ukraine willingly dismantled its nuclear arsenal? And I would hardly call their country corruption-free, but that's a different topic altogether. I think this is why it is so important for NATO to be the backbone of the Ukrainian defense efforts, as they were the voices encouraging them to rid themselves of nuclear weapons.

***Soviet Union and yeah. Stalin had his 5 year plan(s). So there was a huge labor demand. This is opening a whole other massive topic that is to long to type on mobile. You can't think in a modern conscription sense. The Army was likely the only job around for most, 3 squares and place to live. The great depression wasn't just in the US so you can see how it would be easy to get sucked in. Add in Nationalism and Fascism, bitterness from devastation of WWI. Some saw this as a national duty to rearm and rebuild the army. So they would be looking for young men from every territory for labor/soldiers/sailors. I mean you can look basically any where on earth during the 30s and see that everyone was just getting ready for round 2

I think you should consider the build up of armies/navys on the 30s. Also some pretty quick runs into Fascism. Red army was taking tons of people for the meat grinder

[-] Samsonreturns@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

There were massive buildup of standing armies. Particularly France with their mobilization to construct and man the Maginot Line. Germany and England began reconstructions of huge and modernized navys. Italy was full throttle Fascism around this time. And yes, Japan was moving some serious weight into China

Indeed, is there more you want to comment? Or is there more you would like to know about the 1930s in Europe? Now I understand that I am taking a liberty with the assumption that OP is referring to European heritage, but I could direct you to a book or two to expand your knowledge of history
