I mean, that’s kind of what happened with the last civil war too.

You’d think so, but I guess they didn’t.
No, it did it’s purpose: it made headlines.
Give it another 20 years, then release it with an accompanying series of articles about “wow, check out all the fucked up shit the CIA used to do, aren’t you glad they stopped!”
I was actually kinda pissed when I had to switch to a car with a CD player and couldn’t use it anymore.
Pissing on the poor is lemmy’s favourite sport.
Or contamination. Could just be something environmental.
Festivity Doctrine, if you will.
Ternary computing is some serious alt-history fodder.
From what I hear, the war spending is still pretty low, all things considered. This could just be another autarky subsidy.
It’s like he became the opposite of King Midas.
Soviet tanks were usually very good tankwise, but lacking in softer stats. Their big problems were that they needed to arm a huge conscript (or even worse, draftee) army, so they hoarded everything past obsolescence and most of it was below standard (T-62 wasn’t that good even back then, but they’re still in service) and the lagging electronics industry meaning their night sights, FCS, and in particular thermals were awful. There’s solid argument that until the advent of NATO “box” tanks and the Rheinmetall 120mm soviet designs were better than everyone elses, but beyond they were quickly overtaken.
It’s certainly better than letting you break the gear, but still, you’d expect reverse to be able to assist with braking.
And now, when we complain about foreign meddling, we can rightfully be reminded of what our side did to others…
Oh, you haven’t heard? Bringing up any comparison with anything is now whataboutism, and means you’re actually Russian.
It’s incredibly annoying, though, that you can only copy boards in the app, and when you do it makes triplicate of all the cards.
Why steal data when you can just make it up!
I find the opposite works fine: I don’t have to know the exact words, but I doo look up the translation to know what the song is actually about.
Yeah, but if they do anything about it, they’re terrorists, which means you get to kill them. And if they don’t, just kill them anyway, and if their parents or siblings…
IIRC, the secessions were preceeded by a period where it was sort of an open secret of what’s gonna happen, with stuff like future confederate generals transferring cannon stock to southern bases, and moving themselves and their families south, and the North by and large stood by and let it happen under the rationale that “we shouldn’t anger them, they may still come around”. To the point that, again, IIRC, the commander of Fort Sumter saw trouble brewing across the river and requested reinforcements just before the war, and was turned down.
