Maybe they really did believe Ukrainians are their brothers/cousins (and for the most part they're genetically alike) but like how the potatoes have a bong hate boner, the Ukes have a raging hate boner for Russia. I think Russia understands that now, if it didn't before.
I'd go even farther and say without the Lend Lease I'm pretty sure Germany wins. The amount of men, tanks, and equipment the Russians lost at the beginning of Operation Barbossa(since Russia had so many offensive weaponry on their border with Germany) was catastrophic. I'm not sure Russia recovers if not for America essentially paying for and supplying their war effort.
Greeks are just mad money is going towards weapons and not towards their government issued gallons of Tzatziki sauce and Feta cheese. Meds are the equivalent of Patrick whining about how he's gonna starve except instead of chocolate it's stinky cheese and yogurt.
The entire planet, both allied and axis were eating American made SPAM in 1946 because that was the only real protein source available. Pretty much says everything. Its led to some interesting cultural phenomenon in odd places, such as the British "working mans" love of "Spam and Eggs" in the morning, or Japan and Korea's insane love affair with the stuff. Its always been considered poverty food in America (though I actually like it).
Spam even made its way here, in SEAsia. It's a staple nowadays, almost a local delicacy.
tbdesu it's not really _that_ cheap in the USA compared to something like a big pork loin
They also apparently looted some computers and office equipment from the offices and lab of the Institute for Nuclear Safety.
If you have to ship meat a long way, it's a hell of a lot cheaper than frozen stuff.
It's real. It was posted here in a censored version and was taken down. It was bad.
yeah I can def see how it's much cheaper on islands and places that aren't the USA, but within America it's often not so great a bargain on pork, it's more the shelf life and that you don't need to cook it
It's more expensive now, but that wasn't the case in the 40s.
It was posted in the thread at one point. It turned out it was a Russian soldier, but he wasn't in Ukraine and has since been arrested. He was apparently paid 500 rubles by someone online to do it, and for whatever reason, he sent it to his friend who then leaked it. From what has come out, it sounds like the kid was likely a family member of his.
It's true, the video was posted here. A Russian soldier who was based in Russia raped what was mostly like his relative, recorded and uploaded it. The Russian authorities have already arrested him.
From the screenshots I’ve seen, it would seem the video referenced is self produced entirely
500 rubles to do THAT? Jfc I need a drink even more now. Hopefully the Russians just take him out back and save everyone the trouble.
FYI, 500 RU is worth about $6.22.
