The Battle of Thermopylae itself was a thorough massacre for the Greeks, but it did prove to be valuable enough to hold off the Persian advance enough to allow the Athenians to amass and army to drive off the Persians and temporarily unite the City-States.
It makes sense that they'd steal them. They steal everything else.
What angle is she going for here? Everyone's grampa that died from communism was a Nazi? At this point it'd mostly be great grampa or great great grandpa if anything, even ignoring how beyond ignorant this statement is.
The Gulags do not exist, Comrade. Don't let your mind be overtaken by dangerous Western propaganda or else you might suddenly go missing some day.
In context, it was about a Cuban police chief who was sent to the wall, Cornelio Rojas I believe. A Chinese propagandist brought up allegations of him being a psycho torturer to justify the execution, and thus began another assertion that all those people killed by communist regimes were just evil Nazis.
It's crazy how there were millions upon millions of crazy evil torturers killed by the heroic communist regimes. We sure dodged a bullet there!
Even zanier that so many of those evil nazis are peasants from the Ukraine, talk about a real right wing stronghold.
Spartans lost battle but Greeks won war.
"Ha your grand parents didnt want their entire culture erased and replaced by soviet shit. They chose to take up arms for the other rule that was also cruel but atleast let them keep their indviduality. They should have littearly just rolled over and died cause everyone knows being a nazi is worse then starving to death CHECKMATE!" Wat?
I hope they get beaten to death by Eastern European immigrants.
You forgot "Last country standing."
I know nothing about it , but I must post my shitty take
Truth is Soviets and its Puppet regime targeted anti- Nazi partisan group that didnt take orders from Kremlin.
I don't know what crack you've been smoking, but the Nazis definitely didn't permit people to keep their individuality. Everyone was defined by their racial characteristics, and the Aryans were expected to submit and act according to their race.
Well they wouldn't have known that at the time. Im thinking of the stuff like gammalsvenskby in Ukraine. Where they were atleast allowed to keep their faith and their language.
The dissident groups in the USSR weren't especially pro-Nazi yes, but they viewed them as a lesser of two evils, while the Nazis needed to throw bodies into the meat grinder. I would still argue that Stalin was less evil, and given my own familymembers' service in the Red Army, I would've probably joined them, but thats such a low bar that no one commanding on the Eastern front was a good person or that either sides ideology was worthwhile.
The US won because it's still around unlike the USSR.
Even the pictures used make this an own-goal. A couple of fellows marching through a building looks better than burning down buildings.
