Mussolini swore allegiance to Hitler during the creation of the Italian Social Republic. It was essentially a Nazi puppet state.

It depends. With current production? Not in a million years, though that’s a bit obvious because the current system isn’t designed to mobilize 5 million men. However, if war production shifted (that would probably take 6+ months) the US could easy mobilize and arm all of those soldiers.

Also the current US doctrine doesn’t require massive amounts of infantry that you have to equip. The focus is more on superior firepower through artillery and air power, and shock troops built around armored and mechanized divisions manned by veteran/professional career soldiers. Further, the navy is built around power projection, so you don’t need to man 1 million corvettes and frigates, hence the Navy has no need for conscripts.

The Air Force is extremely difficult to get into as is. The list of requirements is absurd, and they are essentially all professors flying jets, so I doubt that they’d let in hoards of random people WW2 style.

Simple grunt infantry is cannon fodder on the modern battlefield. Which is good, because then you don’t need to equip them all.

That wasn’t a wartime draft. A wartime draft is all men of service ability from the ages of 18-35.

After the end of World War 2, this was reduced to a “peacetime draft” which allowed the military to draft men 18-24 in case there were not enough volunteers. That’s how people got drafted into Vietnam and Korea.

After Vietnam the system was removed and the military shifted their doctrine significantly into a smaller, professional, career based volunteer system; which is currently used.

If the wartime draft is ever reinstated, the world is already over. Any scenario where a 5 million man army + more volunteers isn’t enough…. Something catastrophic has happened.

Secret service have been known to kick and beat dogs. No wonder he’s biting so many times. That’s just not normal.

Your estimate doesn't account for marines, airmen, sailors, or officers. NATO has far far more then 3.4 million active soldiers. That is also not counting reserves and national guard or emergency units.

The United States alone has 1.5 million active duty personnel, and can comfortably raise an army of roughly 4.5-5 million reservists, national guards members, and recalled veterans. That’s BEFORE you count any new volunteers.

If that’s just the United States, that means NATO will never need to execute a draft in a million years, and if they do…. It’s already the point of no return and nuclear war is immediately imminent.

Don't worry. In that hypothetical your life will be just as short as everyone else. Well... unless you somehow survive into the nuclear wasteland and die of radiation sickness after 3 months.

No you absolute ghoul. The deaths of close to a million people matter to me a lot more then a country "losing socialism". But that genocide would not have happened if the COUP DID NOT OCCUR IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Also no, what is this enlightened centrism take? There is no biases and double standards.

You want to hear a good one? Nazis deserve bullets in their skulls, but communists do not. Is that a double standard?

The coup overthrowing Sukarno was bad because it led to a million man mass genocide and ethnic cleansing. What are you on?

The surrogate motherhood industry disgusts me so much, surrogacy could be a good and even noble service a person could undertake in a socialist world (given weren’t coerced). But the industrial baby farm levels of horror of rich people traveling to third world nations to pay the most disenfranchised people 10 dollars to carry a baby is downright revolting.

Fair point, and I agree with that. Though something like “Asians” or “Hispanics” doesn’t really have the historical backing that something like “Jews” or “Blacks” have, so they’re not really bad.

I feel like the “Blacks” equivalent to asians would be “Oriental” or “Chinamen”.

Plus, “Whites” just sounds weird.

It comes more from the German usage of the word. Jude, and Judin which are the German equivalent to “Jew”, became synonymous with Jewish dehumanization, so saying “Jew” or “Jews” in the wrong context can get pretty derogatory. Plus it is commonly included in a lot of anti-Semitic slurs or curses, like “Jew bastard”.

: (

Thanks for acknowledging the name I guess. I was genuinely curious about the topic, I’m sorry if it was a bit aggressive.

“Jews” would still raise a few eyebrows, and it’s best to say Jewish people, but at the very least it’s bound by the context of how you’re saying it.

“Blacks” historically has only been used by racist people to dehumanize black people, so you don’t even get the wiggle room provided by context like with Jews.

You’re right, it’s better and safer to just add “people” at the end.

I’d probably recommend not using “Blacks” alone to describe African Americans or black people in general.

“Blacks” is most usually used by chuds when trying to be derogatory and racist.

You would absolutely hate Ancient Greece.

But how? Most nudity, sex, and drugs are used artistically, metaphorically, or for historical purposes, just blatant sex and drugs is still crude and distasteful, no one has lined up to see movies like that since the early 2000’s, and even then those were usually campy bad movies anyways.

Like thinking about Oppenheimer and it’s “sex scene”, what’s so special about it? It showed he had an affair with a woman, and then you see her boob for 4 seconds. The utter horror.

That’s hardly “shameful” or “crass”.

This doesn’t show much of “rising tension”, that’s just media fearmongering.

All that happened was that the loan agreement ran out, and they haven’t gotten around to making a new one. The pandas have been prepped for movement for weeks at this point.

This isn’t just between the US and China. Zoos cannot legally buy and sell animals for cash, favors, property, or any other asset, in an effort to undermine animal smuggling and poaching. Instead there is an international system of trading where zoos will trade and loan animals to each other like Pokémon cards.

This isn’t a political move either; a lot of US zoos are private entities and thus a lot of them treat their animals like shit. There are some beautiful incredible zoos in the US, but a lot of them should be razed to the ground in their current state.

The Ukraine War is the modern WW3 version of the Spanish Civil War.

All the majors get to fight each other discretely, test out all their new toys in the field, and support fascism abroad without risking anything domestically.

What? This is complete lie?

The death penalty for capital crimes was reinstated for peacetime in 1950 under Stalin. It was for treason, espionage, terrorism, first degree murder, and “economic crimes” (corruption, fraud by officials, bribery, and smuggling).

It was extended to aggravated murder or murder with aggravating circumstances in 1954, that’s the only thing that happened in 1954.

Lmaooo, Ireland is a tax haven that's why. Its just a convenient excuse to expand the European market and capabilities.
