  • Except it's not used like that, it's used to discipline anything they feel is a "big" deal.

    Funny story, I got a week suspension in middle school for bringing a low powered laser to school. On the same day friend of mine lit a fire in his desk and got 3 days.

    The school admin was pushing for a much worse penalty for me for some reason and my parents flipped their shit and somehow got it "reduced" to a week.

  • My understanding is VK group is developing something on their engine.

    Gaijin founders are Russian, they have major investors which are Russian, developers which are Russian.

    While I'm not going to bet on it one way or another I would not be surprised if it was to avoid sanctions in order to keep contractual obligations / make Russian investors happy.

  • And I'm not trying to argue that they didn't. I do believe Russia paid the biggest price and contributed the most. Especially in regard to the lives given to defeat the Axis. And I don't really want to down play that.

    But op is using WW2 to attack the US which is dumb. They also paid a large price in the war on both fronts, contributed a ton to allies through lend lease / material goods and were on the correct side of history in this instance.

    Not to mention post WW2 was the one time we got nation building done correctly.

  • It's been a very common thing recently with Russian to claim the West basically did nothing in WW2.

    They are quite literally rewriting history in their classrooms.

    Now I won't deny they took the brunt of the force and paid an absolutely huge price in lives.

    But op is trying to use WW2 as a way to say the US is bad. That we did nothing and only joined when it was basically over. It's a super common Russian nationalist talking point right now.

  • Japan was not closer to conditionally surrendering to the USSR instead of the US. Even if they were that doesn't magically make their war with the US end.

    The reason for the bombs being dropped is very clear and you're free to read countless books, articles, papers on it.

    The Cold War started even before WWII ended.

    Yes but not every choice during WW2 was about countering communism. We supplied them with an absolute ton of weapons and cutting edge vehicles, planes during the war. The threat of the axis/fascism far outweighed the threat of communism spreading at the time.

  • Lol no it wasn't clear. And you're forgetting about the entire Pacific.

    Russians trying to rewrite history, forgetting who supplied half their army while also joining a war against their enemy on another front (at great cost to western lives), overall saving lives as the Germans had to divert resources and ending the war in Europe sooner.
