Then I don’t know what they could’ve done.

Maybe they should’ve established the Moscow-Washington hotline earlier to avoid communication issues. Like, I can imagine a scenario where the US places nukes in Turkiye, then the Kremlin puts nukes in Moscow and calls Washington like “Look, we have placed nukes in Cuba in retaliation for you placing nukes in Turkiye, let’s negociate.”

I’m sure it would’ve caused a crisis, but at least both sides wouldn’t be in the dark.

Handled the Americans or by the Soviets?

If it’s the Americans, they could have avoided the Cuban Missile Crisis by not placing nukes next to the USSR. Since they repeated the exact same thing with Ukraine (by inviting them to NATO), I don’t think trusting the West to not push boundaries is wise.

The thing is that our world is not the same as it was in the Crisis. Like, it was feasible for the US to want to nuke the Soviet Union, but not so much nuke China because all their stuff is made there.

China’s strategy is basically make it impossible for the US to ever decouple from China’s industry. Whether that will avoid WWIII remains to be seen.

Extra bingo:

• Japan & Chile federate into the Republic of Chile-日本
• Argentina joins NATO, NATO dissolves immediately
• South Africa implements a blockade
• Jair Bolsonaro dies from a drone strike
• Another JDPON Don moment
• Instagram becomes the new OnlyFans
• Germany invades France
• Russia becomes socialist

Respectfully, I will send you this post that talks more about the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. It does a better job than me at explaining this.

In what way?

Also, you didn’t answer the question: what were the Soviets supposed to do?

Because studying history helps us understand the present. A lot of anti-USSR tropes used in the past are still used today.

It’s basically the reason why people mention Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq and Vietnam as examples of the US media lying to justify invasion: if you look at the pattern of constant lies that the US does, then you probably won’t trust them when they go “trust me guys, [insert country here] is totally evil and we need to spread democracy there”

By agreeing to a pact of non-aggression, the USSR bought time to prepare for war. What would you have done instead? When your decision would’ve affected millions of people?

One of the best descriptions for the October Revolution I’ve ever read:

The day History became self-aware.

There are no words to describe the change that the proletariat would be able achieve after their first victory.

thanks for the links 🫡

On the other hand, I think that libs associating space achievements to the USSR is a propaganda victory, even in an anti-Stalin meme.

you wouldn’t even know there are non-white Israelis until you come across this kind of propaganda to make Israel seem ‘woke’

Exactly lmao, because I didn’t know

Thanks for the sources!

What?

I need some help here. Is she saying that the Palestinians are the ones killing Black people? I’m not understanding it.

It would be funny if it happened though

Trump: For all the Money we spent to help Flavio, he BETRAYED us for Barack HUSSEIN Obama

Then he becomes cellmates with Maduro. Actually no, he would go to prison but he would continue the family tradition of going to the hospital every day. Maduro deserves better cellmates.

What if the Democrats host Flávio and then Trump throws him in jail out of spite?
