Does anyone like Asianomitry? I quite love his dry and matter of fact about mostly industrial and economic history in the East. Even if he likely might lean slightly left with his takes, he's quite balanced and even goes over topics most wouldn't think about like the massive Soviet fishing fleet

post some of his stuff i'll check it out
 
When I was writing the thread, me and the collaborators struggled to try to get through his videos. At least 60% of the time in the videos are just pointless filler about him being insufferably gay. Plus a good chunk of information is either exaggerated, missing the point of design, or just flat out wrong.
Yeah i stopped watching pretty quickly and just did my own research.
 
They managed to lose to a power that three decades previously were fighting with matchlocks and longbows; if anything, "not great" is underselling it.
To be fair to the Japanese, they did beat the Chinese twice about a decade prior to curb stomping the Russian fleet. They weren't exactly spring chicken to this whole industrial war thing.

One of the biggest gripes that I had was him saying the M3 Grant shared the exact same engine as a different Australian tank even though cursory research shows that is untrue.

In addition to the above about the Japanese having some experience with industrial warfare, the Russians also had some absurd logistical requirements.

It's still embarrassing, but not nearly as much as Italy losing a war to Ethiopia.

So basically there was someone being stabbed in the back but it was Austria by Hungary.
It wasn't touched in the video but I wonder did the Romanian harvest of 1918 also go to Hungary or just Germany or something because while not as big as Ukraine that would have provided some food. And couldn't Bulgaria have sold some food as well. There was something a bit more dysfunctional than just back stabbing.

Lukaschenko will not be around forever and there is potential for even bigger shitshow than Ukrainian one.

Anyway back to the topic.
Closest thing to modern day Ukrainian monarch is this guy.
He briefly ran the show in Ukraine during WW1 .
Nukes in Belarus is pointless as long as there are Russian nukes in Kaliningrad.

Old Britannia released his video on WW1 — 3 hours long.
You could do multiple 3 hour videos on the July Crisis. This was very well done. Hadn't heard of this channel but I liked this one so far.

Yes, roughly. Hungary grossly miscalculated what would happen if the Double Crown would collapse after having successfully managed to bully the Habsburgs for a good half century, believing they would find themselves fully autonomous and in control of their entire pre-war territory (a territory often without significant Hungarian majorities).

So they got Trianon'ed and they're seething about it for a century. Imagine the national trauma of being the constituent of one of the premiere European Great Powers (even with all the problems of AH) and being reduced in five years to a useless rump state that's going to be at best a puppet state for whoever passes by.

Fucking Hungarians.
 
Thoughts on Ceramic? I like the way he edits his videos a lot, it's as if you were watching a video from 10+ years ago but made now, he also always cites easily-digestible sources on his description, which I like
