This move kills the investment climate in Europe. Go convince any non-Western country to invest in Europe now, when they know their investment can be seized from one day to the next on the flimsiest of pretexts.

Given the amount of forces the US has brought to surround Venezuela, it seems almost a certainty at this point.

hubris

Oh, so the US can’t build its fancy jets or iPhones without materials China controls? And Beijing just tightened the leash right before trade talks. It’s almost like having a global monopoly on critical resources puts you in a powerful negotiating position. Who could have possibly seen this coming? 😆

Not sure Russia helping African nations fight western backed terrorists is the own you think it is. Show me examples of Russia colonizing Africa by taking their resources and exploiting their labour the way the west has been doing, I’ll wait.

I think the way we should view this is that “developed nations” means nations that have peaked in their development and are no longer capable of developing further. Meanwhile, “developing nations” are the ones where progress is happening. Everything makes a lot more sense framing it that way.

true story

exactly

Yup, you got me, I’ve literally changed my whole sleep schedule and put up a huge ruse just for you. In fact, this whole lemmy instance exists with the sole purpose of tricking you. Everybody here is a Russian bot, and our sole purpose in life is to confuse innocent Americans. You’re not suffering from narciscism at all.

lmfao I love how you’re so dumb that you still haven’t figured out that I live in the same timezone as you

thank you for once again gracing the thread with your impeccable knowledge of Russia and Ukraine 🤣

colonizer says what? https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-47063973

See here you go exposing yourself as an ignoramus once again. I don’t hold it against you given that you were educated in burgerland. They breed you to be stupid there. The reality is that famines were a common occurrence before the revolution. In fact, they were one of the driving factors behind it. Meanwhile, during the 1932 famine, the USSR actually sent aid to affected regions in an attempt to alleviate the famine.

While the leadership did not stop exports, they did try to alleviate the famine. A 25 February 1933 Central Committee decree allotted seed loans of 320,000 tons to Ukraine and 240,000 tons to the northern Caucasus. Seed loans were also made to the Lower Volga and may have been made to other regions as well. Kul’chyts’kyy cites Ukrainian party archives showing that total aid to Ukraine by April 1933 actually exceeded 560,000 tons, including more than 80,000 tons of food

Some bring up massive grain exports during the famine to show that the Soviet Union exported food while Ukraine starved. This is fallacious for a number of reasons, but most importantly of all the amount of aid that was sent to Ukraine alone actually exceeded the amount that was exported at the time.

Aid to Ukraine alone was 60 percent greater than the amount exported during the same period. Total aid to famine regions was more than double exports for the first half of 1933.

According to Tauger, the reason why more aid was not provided was because of the low harvest

It appears to have been another consequence of the low 1932 harvest that more aid was not provided: After the low 1931, 1934, and 1936 harvests procured grain was transferred back to peasants at the expense of exports.

Tauger is not a communist, and ultimately this specific article takes the view that the low harvest was caused by collectivization (he factors in the natural causes of the famine in later articles, based on how he completely neglects to mention weather in this article at all its clear that his position shifted over the years). However, he has the intellectual integrity to admit that the Soviets really did try to alleviate the famine as best as they could.

Meanwhile, USSR doubled life expectancy in just 20 years. A newborn child in 1926-27 had a life expectancy of 44.4 years, up from 32.3 years thirty years before. In 1958-59 the life expectancy for newborns went up to 68.6 years. the Semashko system of the USSR increased lifespan by 50% in 20 years. By the 1960’s, lifespans in the USSR were comparable to those in the USA:

USSR actually ended famines https://artir.wordpress.com/2017/02/04

Quality of nutrition improved after the Soviet revolution, and the last time USSR had a famine was in 1940s. CIA data suggests they ate just as much as Americans after WW2 period while having better nutrition: https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/document/cia-rdp84b00274r000300150009-5

Can’t wait to see more clown shit in your reply. I bet you don’t even realize that Russia isn’t communist anymore being the genius that you are.

Whatever made you think that your braying deserves a substantive response. 🤣

I guess maybe you’re so angry cause your masters don’t feed you https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/31/us/food-insecurity-30-million-census-survey

oh look another wall of text from a stable genius who’d totally not raging here, hilarious how you lost redditors always think anybody here cars about votes

Ah yes, because historical knowledge magically disappeared 4 decades later. The book war produced for by your army for the point of educating ignoramuses like you who join the army. Adorable attempts at insults by the way, they really help highlight your intellectual capacity.

p.s. love how you were raging and had to edit your reply like 5 times cause you realized the book was real and that you are indeed an ignorant sack of shit. You keep on coping there my little chud.

Go buy the book if you don’t believe me, maybe it’ll be the first one you actually read in your deplorable life.

Nah I’m not mad, and I’m certainly not your bro. It’s hilarious how you keep exposing yourself as an ignoramus though. Really living up to the whole stereotype of the ignorant burgerlander. Sorry you had the misfortune to grow up in a land where there’s no education. Here’s what a book produced by your own army has to say on the subject. Read and weep loser.

pretty clear who the actual Goebbels jr. here is
