Did you watch it in Italian or English?If you haven’t seen The Turning Point on Netflix, I’d advise you to check it out.
I’m sorry. I should’ve been more specific.The original movie is in Italian.
Do they paint the red guys as the bad guys and the blue red and white as the heroes ?I’m sorry. I should’ve been more specific.
Turning Point: The Bomb and the Cold War
It’s a recap of US/Russia and goes through the history of Communism, the bomb, WW II, the Cold War, Cuban Missle Crisis, Reaganism, The fall & rise of communism…
A nice high level view of the 20th century and the bomb. Goes into Putin’s rise to power as well.
Nope. It’s pretty cool.Do they paint the red guys as the bad guys and the blue red and white as the heroes ?
Use it to buy some stuff and then put it on Ebay.Dont know where to post this
I still got 300+ CAD gift card on NHLshop(canada only) and I dont know what to do with it.
I'd sell it with a 20% discount if I could. There are some site in the US where you can do that but I dont anything for NHLshop in Canada.
Any people interested or have ideas?
Well, broadly speaking, that's true. Not defending the horrible shit the U.S. has done but Americans are amateurs compared to the horrors Russia/Communism has and is still inflictingDo they paint the red guys as the bad guys and the blue red and white as the heroes ?
The Americans are repeatedly criticized for a lot of the crap they did in this as well.Well, broadly speaking, that's true. Not defending the horrible shit the U.S. has done but Americans are amateurs compared to the horrors Russia/Communism has and is still inflicting
Oh yeah, definitely going to check it out. I'm not apologizing for the US but Russia/Communism has been significantly worse.The Americans are repeatedly criticized for a lot of the crap they did in this as well.
It’s not comprehensive- the show completely skips Carter doesn’t go into details on the Vietnam or Korean wars… but it’s a high level overview and worth seeing.

Yeah living in the Soviet Union was a picnic - would you have rather lived in the US or the Soviet Union in the 20th century? Did the US intentionally starve 10M people like Stalin did during the Holodomar? The US rebuilt western Europe after WW2 and then basically left. Russia kept Eastern Europe under its boot for 40+ years and violently crushed any dissent under a police state (Hungary 56, CR 68, etc) including mass deportations (Baltic states) until their system collapsed economically and they couldn't hold on (course Putin is now trying to reassemble it). Not to mention crushing dissent at home.Lmao

I'm not taking issue with what you're saying other than the bolded. This is something EVERYONE needs to drill into their heads - Putin is looking to reassemble the RUSSIAN empire, not the soviet one. He's a hyper-capitalist leading a hyper-capatalist country. Strong men have ruled Russia from the start, well before the USSR and right up to the present. When the USSR fell, the US made sure to install the most right-wing system possible to avoid a slide back to communism, and now we are seeing the results. Putin/Russia is not communist in the slightest. This is about nationalism/fascism.Yeah living in the Soviet Union was a picnic - would you have rather lived in the US or the Soviet Union in the 20th century?

LMAO indeed
Speaking of… I’m looking to practice my French and was wondering if anyone could recommend a francophone hockey message board? Or if there’s
Reddit maybe? It's tough to find one.Speaking of… I’m looking to practice my French and was wondering if anyone could recommend a francophone hockey message board? Or if there’s
a thread on HF where French discussion is permitted? Thank you!
Basé. I lol'd at the West island on the map, of COURSE.Bilingual!
Then they move to MTL for the cheaper real estate and cry wolf when they're asked to at least try a little bit of French instead of living in their anglo-imperialist bubble.
You riled me up with just one map.
