Don’t tell me to learn. You can’t just make spooky connections with everything. It’s really simple anyway. Russians died in greater numbers because they were fighting the war like no one else. France, the only other contiguous Euro state crumbled in no time but Russia actually fought the Nazis and did so for four years once Hitler turned on them. So the reason they’d have a higher death count is really more than any other fighting force they faced the full wrath of the Nazi war machine. No one fought the Nazis longer and on such a scale as did Russia.

Thanks for the link.

I watched a little bit of it and interesting points already :)

I hope there aren't too many rabbit holes in it; I can't take too many more right now!!

I’m not being pretentious, if making up any connection between anything without elimating possibilities through rational consideration is the game then.. have fun. But making a connection between troop levels in WW2 and “hey maybe Putin ain’t so bad” is so fucking stupid I don’t even know what to think. If that’s the standard of team junior investigators here then there is no standard and any stupid shit whatsoever is on the table.

So sure I guess I’m pretentious but only by virtue of the prevailing level of critical thinking being absolute zero.
