  • The USSR definitely put in huge work, but at the end of the day, “Stalingrad” was besieged and close to being finished off, German forces were right outside Moscow, and all of Ukraine, Belarus and the Baltics were occupied (aka the most heavily industrialised areas)

    The reality is that without the USA committing significant industrial resources to its allies (particularly the lend lease) and keeping the Western front open, the USSR was a matter of months away from being finished off.

    The war was not won by only the efforts of the USA or the USSR.

    Hearing people younger than me talk about how their bodies are falling apart is surreal. I do basically the bare minimum in terms of nutrition, exercise a bit daily, and I feel basically the same as I did in my 20s. Maybe better even because I’m not underweight.









  • Ireland is a poor choice because of English speaking immigrants flooding in. You will immediately be thrown into the shittiest housing market in Europe while also dealing with the most underdeveloped transport system of any European capital. The country has seen population growth far in excess of what the government was able to handle. There is not one efficient state service other than taxation and the passport office. Investment in ETFs is effectively banned. The weather is also shit.
