  • Looking at the origin:
    ambi, Greek: both;
    anti, Greek: against, opposed;
    dexter, Latin: right, skilful, clever;
    sinister, Latin: left, wrong, evil;

    So sinister is already anti-dexter, the ambi just emphasises that this not-skilfulness applies to both hands. In German, calling somebody having "two left hands" means that they aren't skilful at all concerning handcrafting.

  • This practice was not exclusively Soviet. It happened in the rest of Europe too, even long before the Soviet Union, pupils were tought to use their fine hand, i.e. their right, for writing, while their left was bound to their chair.
    However, as being left handed isn't exclusively a matter training, this practice causes drawbacks in other fields.

  • As the perceived wavelength or energy of the photon depends on the relative motion between the source of the EM wave and the receiver (matter), this isn't a trivial question at all.

  • We already have nuclear participation with the US. In case NATO decides for mutual nuclear defense, the US nuclear bombs stored in Germany exclusively for German use would be attached to airplanes of the German Air Force to be deployed onto their targets.
