And let's not forget how old Teddy broke up the monopoly of the big 3 in his day(jp morgan, carnegie and rockefeller). Funnily enough, they tried to stop him from being elected as president the first time(he became vp until someone shot the president). We need teddy take 2, there are more monopolies to break up.

And you can see all of it in poland's own witcher 3.

was just about say that

Baba jaga just wants his dog back

Interestingly while the classic German word for the hipo is river horse, too modern day Germans decided to agree on calling them Nile horses.

I somehow see you in so many comment sections

In Finnish too: "virtahepo" = "river (or stream) horse"

@@anttisaarilampi I wonder in how many languages we can find calques for this animal's name.

in german its name could be literally translated into english as nhile horse lol

I'm proud of Borat

I think Drew just through infamy meant being famous for whatever reason given Drew does talk positivity about Petrov after saying that.

He lives on in famy.

something something habsburgs

Premise: 1983 war a particularly tense period in the cold war, US had been doing psychological operations for a couple of years, reinstalling hundreds of ballistic missiles in West Europe, doing secretive naval operations in all seas close to russia, as well as flights by American bombers, occasionally several times per week, directly toward Soviet airspace turning away at the last moment. This was specifically made to get to the Russians nerves about unpredictability of the US in a nuclear attack (they will stop after the incident funnily and significantly enough). Not even a month before the incident, the Soviet military shot down a South Korean passenger jet because it trespassed the airspace, killing 269 people. Point: There is nothing easy in taking the decision in a couple minutes in the middle of the night, to not tell to your commander the reading of a system (with 30 levels of verifications before you) specifically made as an alert of existential threat; in fact, he didn't take it just because of the number, he analized the calculating time of the system, he doublechecked with surface radars etc. Still, the very concept of an army is to make automatic the response to obey orders and never exceed your autority, more so in soviet army I would guess. In fact, I imagine many of his collegues would have reported without thinking. Epilogue: his commander complimented his decision, we know the fact because he wrote it in his (the superior's) memoires. Petrov was heavily interrogated, and in the end he was moved to a less sensitive job, demonstrating to me, the army prefers automatic reaction. We will never know what type of decision would have taken command. Post scriptum: in my eyes it's not like we all have so many heroes, we may aswell degrade some - I can get your (deserved) passion for Arkhipov but I would say both get my respect and gratitude.

@@elRandomTk Arkhipov deserves more gratitude given he had deal with Human factors that Petrov did not have to deal with.

@@InquisitorXarius that's fair, I just don't get why use the negative tone, you could have frased that better, more so if talking about good examples. Arkhipov is to me a total badass BTW, and saved the world harder I agree :D

Regardless we still owe him even if it was an easy estimation.

The reason I use negative language for Petrov is because people often excessively praise and cite him as the “Man Who Saved The World” all the while neglecting Arkhipov’s own struggles if not his own existence.

Technically speaking, Italy is the only Axis power to "win" WW2.

@cck4863 yeah, also the Soviet Union

Hunting for 'sport' is nothing to be proud of!

lol true didnt even realize

Were you terrified of those German and slavic folktales as a child ?

​@@ricardozetino6907 A bit, but not really. When you grow up with such tales, you are used to such type of tales. Books like "Struwwelpeter" were for a bit too much, because that book is straight up disturbing, but things like baba yaga were for me entertaining folktales. edit: sorry for my bad englisch, I'm too dumb to make some good sentences in general

@@ReXebl Aw yeah thx for bringing this memory back. What better way to teach kids some values than with dismemberment? I'm sure I can find the book containing Struwwelpeter at my parents house.

@@ReXebl oh ok, thank you for answering my questions.

Nah. He's getting smarter.

*evolving The process is slow, but he’s becoming smarter

yes sirr

wow.

I get it

Ye but it’s not fair the Germans quite litterally fucked us and the soft underbelly was a bloodbath for the allies

Australia just can't seem to win those wars, huh? First the emus and now the cats.

Exactly

I think she's called a bit differently in south slav lands (babaroga).

Yeah, but I am from the north.

@@user-ds2zy7bl4d yaga does sound more intimidating, tbh. We slavs do have some quite unique mythical creatures(south has drekavac, prikaza, karakondzula(there was a craft brewery with beers named after them). Come to think of it, slavs were always sorted into south, west and east, never north(weirdly enough).

Wow because I am from Bulgaria and that is in the North (kinda)

@@user-ds2zy7bl4d Now you remind me of student days, when we were given medieval bosnian documents to read/transcript, it and modern bulgarian sound surprisingly similar(never knew some "substitute" cyrrilic letters that they shared).

Apart from Antarctica.

Yeah

Here in Asia, most elders in my family still called Russia as Soviet Union

@@user-vt6bs1wn5s Wow! I’m surprised although it does make sense.
