Germany has a decrepit old focus tree that’s laughable compared to everyone else’s. A major problem seeing as how they are the lynchpin of the WW2 era.

One of those focus paths is also literally making Germany a Luxemburgish paradise that allys with the USSR…

Also other nations are getting super weapons too. They just focused on Germany since them and Austria as getting new focus trees.

In the West, Trotskyism is also seen as an acceptable alternative to “Stalinism” and the Soviet Union.

It’s the reason mindset behind why liberals idealise failed revolutions but despise those that succeed.

The resource that made the Me-262 impractical to produce and maintain wasn’t primarily the specialized fuel, it was the nickel, cobalt, and molybdenum used to construct and coat the inside of the engine to make the structural aluminum and steel resistant to the temperatures the jet engines would generate.

That is also another reason why many of the 1,200 jets constructed by the Germans never flew simultaneously. They were simply airframes with no engines attached, damaged engines, or engines that had been sent out without the internal protective coating, making them little more then one time use party tricks.

The automation is because it’s always been a felony not to register, same as it is in virtually every country with mandatory service, so to avoid the horrifically needless societal effects that come from giving someone a felony for a random crime, they simply automated it.

Basically what they did with social security years ago. Used to also be a crime to not sign up by a certain age, so they just started immediately registering all children at birth.

Decriminalized for possession, sure, but the process of production, selling, and buying were highly illegal.

Every modern military does it. Emergency combat amphetamines are part of the kit of every nations army.

China, the US, India, UK, and France currently use modafinil. This is actually a relatively new change, as up until roughly 2010-2018 most militaries issued amphetamines and its derivatives like Dextroamphetamine, methamphetamine, and so on.

During WW2 only Japan and Germany used methamphetamine, the US used Benzedrine, a weaker amphetamine derivative, but only for pilots and shock troops like marines, and Soviet troops used amphetamines but only for elite troops like mountaineers and paratrooper divisions.

Drugs were banned in the USSR in 1924 with the first constitution.

However a penalty for possession of drugs without intent to sell or traffic was introduced in 1974 under Brezhnev.

It could also just be general body weakness and damage to organs while they were still developing.

Famine victims would more likely have less developed or damaged organs and reproductive systems, which in turn would impact the development of a fetus in the womb. It could also be assumed that the egg and sperm produced would be of “lesser quality” due to the organs producing them being compromised.

This damage would of course be substantially more pronounced if the famine victims were younger then 24-26 when the famine occurred, since their bodies and reproductive organs would not be fully developed yet, with the younger the person being the more long term damage sustained.

Granted everyone is owed due process, plus I am generally anti-death because of the possibility of numerous legal and police mistakes. But in this case they should just hurry up and just line him up against a wall and get it over with.

This person was found guilty on all federal counts and was sentenced to death by lethal injection. He is yet to stand trial for the 36 state crimes he stands accused of.

And? Nothing on the site states that you have legal recourse. Unless they’re slandering you; what can you do?

“Stereotypes” lmao

The fuck are you on? That’s a random site that I’m sureeeeee works for random pictures taken without your permission being posted by random people, you think that’ll work against a massive news publication?

It’s a massive ethical debate, but you think that’ll stop them? The vast majority of photos used fall under fair use, since the second you post them to social media, they no longer belong to you.
