I mean honestly, why would you at this point? Damage’s already been done, drawing attention to her again would only make things worse.

She’s not going to prison, she gets an ankle monitor and house arrest I believe.

No, it specifically talks about US lend-lease and the invasion of Europe. It’s not talking about the entire western contribution to the war.

The US army says that lend-lease and the invasion of Europe shortened the war. It does not say that the Soviets would have won without the Allies being in the war. Even your source says that the lend-lease and the invasion, even if not the deciding factor, were “a great help”.

Maybe read your sources a little better?

The Axis combined conscripted approximately 40 million men, whereas the Soviet Union conscripted approximately 34.5 million men. Without the Allies they would not have won just looking at the numbers.

The US conscripted 16 million, the British Commonwealth approximately 11 million. That’s a combined 27 million, which isn’t exactly insignificant compared to the USSRs 34.5 million (see https://www.statista.com/statistics/1342260/wwii-mobilization-by-country/).

The Soviets were forced to mobilize that many as they were essentially fighting an existential war at that time. They also suffered the brunt of the casualties, in no small part due to a lack of equipment.

Without the Allies, the USSR would have likely lost. Even Stalin knew and said as much. The US entry shortened the war but they certainly didn’t “win the war for the rest of the Allies” or anything. But to minimize the contribution as a “pinprick” is ridiculous and not supported by historians east nor west.

Because the US and UK did nothing else during the war except lend-lease of course. The bombing of German industry, blockades of their supply lines, the Africa-campaigns, extensive intelligence operations, no all of that definitely did nothing and didn’t contribute to the war effort at all.

It’s likely the Allies would have won the war without the US involved, though it’s estimated it would have taken much longer. Without UK involvement, it’s more probable that the Germans could have achieved a victory, though perhaps not a total capitulation of the Soviets. Without a western front to guard as heavily, they would probably have taken Moscow by the end of 41 (irl they were 20 miles out). Japan would also have a much freeer reign in the pacific theatre.

Don’t think they can vote if they’re not a citizen, no?

The form required for deadlifts basically requires you to stand up straight. It’s actually helped me personally to get a better standing form.

Definitely have someone explain and help you with your form though. It can be hard to tell for an inexperienced person if their form is good, and bad form is risky when deadlifting.

The weight doesn’t even have to be that high, it’s all about learning the proper form, which helps you realize a better posture.

There’s no evidence afaik for extensive Russian meddling in the Dutch elections. Our electoral system makes it difficult for foreign meddling to have any extensive impact. The far-right hasn’t really grown much here, it consolidated into a single party. They’re also not explicitly pro-Russia either.

They’re stuck in a coalition government with three other parties and really haven’t made much of an impact at all.

Sure, but that’s not the hate being addressed here. Those were comments specifically about there being a black guy as a main character.

The fact that it’s a buggy barely playable mess is par for the course for Ubisoft.

Yup. When a right-wing government asks, he complies. When a left-wing government does, he sues.

No you see the Americans have all been starving because they can’t afford their eggs anymore.

Inb4 unleashing bird flu is RFK’s plan to combat the US obesity epidemic.

Kaliningrad was German before (Königsberg) but was annexed by the Soviets after WW2 and Russified. At the time there was a land border through the Baltics. When these former Soviet states broke free, Kaliningrad remained Russian.

QUANTUM AI? IN my blockchain? It’s more likely than you think!

I think it’s sarcasm mate.

But isn’t that part of making the reader explore and experience the world of magic, just like Harry is? There’s no narrator here who already knows everything, you’re experiencing the stories through the eyes of Harry, and only really know what he knows. In that context, it doesn’t really make sense to have these early clues. The reader can’t anticipate everything because Harry can’t either.

Magic in general is just a plot device that can do whatever the author needs it to do.

I’m pretty sure Olivander already mentions when Harry chooses his wand that it’s basically a twin of Voldemort’s, and in the subsequent books it’s explained that that + Lily’s magic is causing plenty of weird things to happen, including what happens in book 4. Sure, the exact reason why it happens is still “magic” but that goes for most magic systems if you delve deep enough.

Mostly the photography market as far as I know, those raw images take up a lot of space.

Pretty sure the reasoning behind that was given in book 1.
