No just any shit, shit that helps everyday people living in their country.
I’m just thinking of the major cities in my U.S. state where the public transit map, before and after, looks like Chengdu in 2010. So as unfortunate as the circumstances are in Toronto, they can be even worse.
Russian propaganda?
The chest-beating confidence of people chiming in on Internet is appalling to me. Stop presuming you know more than other people and READ MORE BOOKS.
The strain of American Exceptionalism in the typical American historical outlook is depressing to me.
There were single battles on the Eastern Front which resulted in more casualties than the United States suffered throughout the entire war across all fronts. Look it up: Leningrad, Stalingrad, Kharkov…
The United States first seriously engaged with German forces in Tunisia in 1943. By that point, the USSR had been fighting with Germany on a massive scale for a year and a half. That was after the Battle of Stalingrad, arguably the most significant turning point in the entire war.
The Germans deployed roughly 50 divisions on the Western Front. Roughly 150 divisions were on the Eastern Front.
The United States contributed materiel and strategic bombing, but did not do the lion’s share of the fighting, killing, or dying.
Yes, it’s literally a pointless cash-grab that they can bill to insurance.
Last time I was at my primary care, I was handed a survey as part of my pre-appointment paperwork. I started filling it out before I read the fine print at the end: It was optional. It would be billed to my insurance, and “most patients’” insurance covered the charge. I refused to complete it. Just one more tiny outrage as part of the massive scam that is the American medical system.
