All you yanks know how to do is project. Good luck living in your fascist shithole. 🤣

The USSR also had a massive military that could go head to head with the US. The military isn’t going to do shit for you when your country turns on itself. The US is deeply polarized politically at this point, and it’s only a matter of time before there’s civil unrest. The Americans have a serious protagonist syndrome where they think that things that happened to every other empire will not happen to them.

You’ve yet to say anything relevant, just spewed a lot of nonsense without any substance.

Go out and touch the grass, please

You’re right, what the British have done to the Irish is immeasurably worse.

My actual plan is to sit back and to watch your country tear itself apart so that the rest of the world can finally breathe. If Americans actually wanted to change things for the better they’d be joining orgs like PSL and building a mass worker movement the way people of Bolivia did with MAS. Instead, you’re still bleating about elections within your oligarch owned system.

no prob glad that was helpful

ok sure

Basically, the Ryukyu Islands have been historically an independent with their own distinct culture, and ties to China. They were annexed by Japan in 1879 during the Meiji Restoration, becoming Okinawa Prefecture. This annexation erased their sovereignty and imposed Japanese assimilation policies that suppressed indigenous language and traditions.

After WW2, Okinawa was placed under US military occupation due to its strategic Pacific location, hosting extensive U.S. bases. Today, Okinawa remains burdened with 70% of US military facilities in Japan, linked to environmental damage, accidents, and crimes by personnel.

The modern Ryukyu independence movement emerged from this history of subjugation. Okinawans want to restore their language, traditions, and identity suppressed by Japan. They want to evict US bases from their land, and to become independent from Japan.

What the west is currently doing in the world today is actually very much relevant to getting things done now.

No they do not, and Japanese along with Americans continuously commit atrocities against them and poison their water with the outflow from the US military base.

They had just as many conquering bastards, but everyone is happy being Japanese.

you should definitely let the occupied people of Okinawa know that

Once again, you made a claim that the less people died because the US participated in the war. And I simply pointed out that the world order that formed from that resulted in far greater human suffering. Nobody is talking about any alternative histories here. We are talking about the actual history of western depravities that followed in the wake of WW2. Let me know if that’s still unclear to you.

No, we are not dealing with alternative history. We are dealing with the history of what the west proceeded to do after the war ended. If you’re going to talk about how many people died then you have to include all the people that the west brutally massacred during the Cold War and continues to massacre today. Because your claim is that the world order that arose out of US participating in the war was a net positive. Let me know if you need me to use smaller words to help you understand this.

Nah that’s not what I was saying at all. It’s just a hamfisted straw man you’re using. What I was actually saying is that not only would’ve USSR defeated the nazis on their own, what the west accomplished was a net negative for the world. Had US not gotten itself involved, then Europe would’ve almost certainly have become communist. There wouldn’t have been wars in Vietnam and Korea, Afghanistan, and many other horrors the empire continues to enact, and we wouldn’t be living in capitalist hell in the west today.

Then we might as well ask how many people a months has US led world order killed since WW2 ended.

The source very clearly states that western effort shortened the war, but did not fundamentally change the dynamic of the war. Maybe work on your own reading comprehension?

Yes, the majority of the population. Everybody wanted to go to the USSR and the Eastern Bloc in general. That is why they built the Berlin Wall and heavily guarded all the borders with Western Europe. To stop all the migrants ;) (I prefer to trust people living at that time than the nostalgia.)

Oh look more drivel. The reason the immigration was strict wasn’t because everyone wanted to flee from USSR as you fascists claim. It was because people who got their free education in USSR could leverage it go and make way more money in the west and live of the capitalist exploitation. The fact that the majority of the population of USSR voted against the dissolution in the referendum clearly shows that you’re full of shit.

I agree that it is worse in Russia now than it was in the post-Stalin Soviet era, though.

Meanwhile, where it’s actually worse now than during USSR times is in the Baltics where the industry is gone, and everyone who has the means to do so left.

Meanwhile, Russian economy is booming, and the World Bank just reclassified Russia as a high income country https://blogs.worldbank.org/en/opendata/world-bank-country-classifications-by-income-level-for-2024-2025

The IMF forecasts that Russian economy is set to grow faster than all the western economies https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/17/russia-forecast-to-grow-faster-than-advanced-economies-in-2024-imf.html

Literally every single thing you stated in this thread is demonstrably wrong. Gotta work on your trolling skills not to make it so obvious.

ah yes the PriVileGed GrOup ProFiTing FroM the SovIeT ImepriaLism seems to have been majority of the population in USSR 🤡

• A remarkable 72% of Hungarians say that most people in their country are actually worse off today economically than they were under communism. Only 8% say most people in Hungary are better off, and 16% say things are about the same. In no other Central or Eastern European country surveyed did so many believe that economic life is worse now than during the communist era. This is the result of almost universal displeasure with the economy. Fully 94% describe the country’s economy as bad, the highest level of economic discontent in the hard hit region of Central and Eastern Europe. Just 46% of Hungarians approve of their country’s switch from a state-controlled economy to a market economy; 42% disapprove of the move away from communism. The public is even more negative toward Hungary’s integration into Europe; 71% say their country has been weakened by the process.

• The most incredible result was registered in a July 2010 IRES (Romanian Institute for Evaluation and Strategy) poll, according to which 41% of the respondents would have voted for Ceausescu, had he run for the position of president. And 63% of the survey participants said their life was better during communism, while only 23% attested that their life was worse then. Some 68% declared that communism was a good idea, just one that had been poorly applied.

• Glorification of the German Democratic Republic is on the rise two decades after the Berlin Wall fell. Young people and the better off are among those rebuffing criticism of East Germany as an “illegitimate state.” In a new poll, more than half of former eastern Germans defend the GDR.

• A poll shows that as many as 81 per cent of Serbians believe they lived best in the former Yugoslavia -“during the time of socialism”. The survey focused on the respondents’ views on the transition “from socialism to capitalism”, and a clear majority said they trusted social institutions the most during the rule of Yugoslav communist president Josip Broz Tito. The standard of living during Tito’s rule from the Second World War to the 1980s was also assessed as best, whereas the Milosevic decade of the 1990s, and the subsequent decade since the fall of his regime are seen as “more or less the same”. 45 percent said they trusted social institutions most under communism with 23 percent choosing the 2001-2003 period when Zoran Djinđic was prime minister. Only 19 per cent selected present-day institutions.

• 75% of Russians have expressed increasingly positive opinions about the Soviet Union over the years. Only a small portion of those surveyed said they had negative associations with the Soviet Union. The economic deficit, long lines and coupons were named by 4% of respondents each, while the Iron Curtain, economic stagnation and political repressions were named by 1% each, the Levada Center said.

Also: Do you deny the Gulag, the oppression of all opposition, including any forms of self-organization, the Holodomor genocide, and the ethnic cleansing, e.g., of the Crimean Tatars?

Of course I deny your fascist propaganda. Holodomor genocide narrative was literally created by fascist and you’ve just exposed yourself by regurgitating it.

Kubernetes solves a problem for very large scale the kind that Google has. However, it’s complete overkill for most use cases. It’s an incredibly complex tool that takes a lot of skill to use properly and it’s completely unnecessary for most applications. As a corollary, I find there’s an obsession with aggressively applying microservice architecture nowadays which introduces a huge amount of orchestration overhead.

Clearly the US army disagrees with you, but what do they know.
