Islam is the world's second largest religion yet there are no Western mainstream shows or movies about the history and roots of Islam like we have with Christianity and Judaism. There's no Quran movie or a Hadith animated series. Why is that?

@hemantmehta Because Blue States are already gerrymandered to their maximum extent.
English
Every blue state needs to gerrymander Republicans out of it or die trying.
Until there’s a nationwide ban on gerrymandering, it’s insane to let conservatives be the only ones playing this game while writing the rules.

Why haven't we heard from a SINGLE Democratic state about steps they're taking to counteract the post-VRA GOP power grabs in Louisiana and Alabama and South Carolina and Tennessee and Texas and North Carolina and Missouri and Florida? Is every Democrat asleep at the wheel? Do you think this is going to fix itself? Why is it so fucking difficult for Democrats to fight back? If you're in power in NJ, NY, MD, CO, IL, WA, OR, wake the fuck up and announce steps to redraw the maps so that Democrats are not drawn out of power forever.

@panjsheri1999 @sonyablazed_ Yeah, too bad the American always bad camp doesn’t understand the run up to the war, both in Europe and the Pacific. Foreign policy doesn’t happen in a vacuum.
English
@flyboyPhil624 @sonyablazed_ I didn’t say the embargo wasn’t justified it actually came too late in my opinion
English
@sonyablazed_ @panjsheri1999 US/Japan relations circa 1940:
US: Please can you stop your invasion of China?
Japan: No!
US: We will give you all the oil and steel you want, Just stop your war against China.
Japan: NO! *Expands war*
US: *Embargos oil and steel*
Japan: WHY DID YOU DO THAT? *Bombs Pearl Harbor*

@panjsheri1999 yeah my entire point is I was never taught that even in an AP history class that I got full college credit for

@GLTS100 @VsTgolf @MyLordBebo In 1941, The USSR lost nearly half of its farmland, about 2/3rds of its factories, and nearly 60% of its manpower base. In 1942, it was essentially cut off from its oil supply in the south. Lend-Lease aid was definitely needed to keep them in the war.
English
@flyboyPhil624 @VsTgolf @MyLordBebo Russia was already WINNING by then, Nazis already retreating! They didn't need anything from anyone to STAY IN THE WAR cos it was being fought in Russia! More food, good, they'll take it. It wasn't like they were on the brink of starvation at that point in time.
English
🇺🇸🇩🇪🇷🇺 US didn't enter the battle until the Soviet Red Army entered Germany if you look at the map with dates
Most of the liberation of Europe from the Nazis was carried out by the USSR
But not according to Hollywood movies!
Lord Bebo@MyLordBebo
🇩🇪🇷🇺 German government refused to answer the question of who liberated Europe from Nazism in order to avoid referring to Russia & Soviet Union:
English
@GLTS100 @VsTgolf @MyLordBebo Once again, its not the total of what was shipped that is important, but WHAT we shipped. In 1942 we shipped 4 million tons of food to the USSR. Yes, its a small value of the total aid sent, but it was critical to keep the USSR in the war.
English
@flyboyPhil624 @VsTgolf @MyLordBebo "Russians can't walk without the shoes we sent them, they can't see without the glasses we shipped them, they'd be naked but for the cotton we provided!"
By mid 1942, Russia received only 5% of their total lend-lease amount, but Nazis were already retreating for 6 months! FACTS!!
English
@GLTS100 @VsTgolf @MyLordBebo Our Lend-Lease aid kept the USSR in the war. That was the point of it. It was to keep them in the war until we built up sufficient force to bring about unconditional surrender so we would never have to comeback and fight in Europe again.
English
@flyboyPhil624 @VsTgolf @MyLordBebo Even Harry Hopkins, Franklin D. Roosevelt's top advisor and the lead administrator of the Lend-lease program, disagrees with you.
It was never a chief factor of victory against the Nazis, which were won by the heroism and blood of the Russian army.
English
@GLTS100 @VsTgolf @MyLordBebo The Red Army doesn't eat in 1942 without the food we sent them. The Red Army doesn't have the bullets to fight without the ammo we sent them in 1942. None of the things you have posted has refuted my main point that US production in 1942-43 was spent keeping Europe in the war.
English
@flyboyPhil624 @VsTgolf @MyLordBebo "Without, the Red Army doesn't survive 1942."-Bullshite.
The Nazis were already retreating from Russia in Dec 1941. That's a fact, unlike your baseless opinions about what and when stuff arrived.
Pls read more and stop wasting my time with conjecture.
English
@GLTS100 @VsTgolf @MyLordBebo That article ignored what we gave, and when we gave it, and most critically, allowed the Red Army the time to develop the tactics they used in the summer and fall of 1943 to throw the Germans back, now being fueled by American oil. Without, the Red Army doesn't survive 1942.
English
@flyboyPhil624 @VsTgolf @MyLordBebo You've assigned "full credit" to America cos u said "NONE" of russia's production would be possible without Lend-lease.
Russia was already pushing back the Nazis from Moscow, even without lend-lease material. US helped Russia end WW2 early, that's all.

English
@GLTS100 @VsTgolf @MyLordBebo When did I take "full credit" for the work of the average Soviet soldier or factory worker? All I said is that none of that would have been possible without the support we gave them. Guess what, I make the same comment about keeping the UK in the war too, because we did.
English
@flyboyPhil624 @VsTgolf @MyLordBebo Yeah, I'm sure you also take full credit when your kid graduates university, cos he/she would never be able to do it without you buying them the books and stationery for them to put in the hours of studying.
🙄🙄
English
@GLTS100 @VsTgolf @MyLordBebo It's not the total that matters because none of that production happens without the raw materials we gave them. Soviet tanks were built with American steel. They were fueled by American oil. The men were fed by American farms, and transported to the battle on US rolling stock.
English
@flyboyPhil624 @VsTgolf @MyLordBebo Lend-lease made up only 4% of Russia's total war production.
Collapse, my ass.
English
@ua_fitter @MyLordBebo When asked to coordinate Soviet offensives to coincide with Operation Overlord, Stalin refused. When asked to help the Poles during the Warsaw Uprising, Stalin refused, even though the Red Army was less than 10 miles from Warsaw.
English
@MyLordBebo D-Day wasn't even needed. By June 6, 1944 the Red Army was SMASHING the German Army in the East. The Red Army could've pushed the Wehrmacht into the English channel had there been no invasion.

@BaronUngern0 @VsTgolf @MyLordBebo 3rd Guards Tank Army, Germany, March 1945. All the vehicles in this picture are American made.
English
@BaronUngern0 @VsTgolf @MyLordBebo 90% of Soviet railroad equipment was built in US factories.
20% of M4 Sherman tanks ended up in the Red Army.
60% of Soviet ammo was American made.
4mil tons of food-aid.
400k trucks
20k aircraft
30% of Soviet steel and aluminum came from US sources.
English
English
@BaronUngern0 @VsTgolf @MyLordBebo 70% of Soviet aviation fuel came from the US
55% of Soviet oil came from the US and UK.
Soviet production would have never happened without the Lend-Lease aid coming from the United States.
English
@VsTgolf @MyLordBebo The Red Army collapses in 1942 without all the Lend-Lease we gave the Soviets. Most of our industrial output in 1942 and 43 was spent on keeping the USSR in the war, not our own military.
English
@MyLordBebo Even the excellent PBS documentaries detail that the US was virtually useless — from start to finish — in the European theatre of war. Their heroic efforts were actually in the Pacific against the Japanese.
English
@BenDean87 @DJSnM As for flying it under an experimental certificate, I don’t see why you couldn’t. However, if I were Cirrus I would definitely sue you to keep that from happening.
English
@flyboyPhil624 @DJSnM Haha, stunning. I’d be terrified the top and rear of the fus would say bye bye next time the CAPS gets used! I dunno about US laws, could he try to fly it as experimental?
English
I knew my plane had been involved in a crash back in 2011, but I'd never looked at the photos from the NTSB report.
Canopy wasn't secured properly and popped open when pilot performed forward slip on final, the airflow pushed through the gap and lifted canopy up.
English
@BenDean87 @DJSnM That was exactly my concern. Once we found out that it was a banned plane, we stopped all maintenance. I got into a bit of an argument with my boss because I didn’t want to make it anywhere close to airworthy. That plane flew for a couple years before it finally came to us.
English
@BenDean87 @DJSnM Imagine a Z-cut from just below the windscreen, down the in front of the door, then back to the wingroot by the baggage door. Engine bay, panel, wings and undercarriage from the CAPS plane. Roof, rear cabin, baggage, and tail from the crashed plane. All meeting at the spar box.
English
@flyboyPhil624 @DJSnM When you say two planes though. Do you mean a good wing onto a good fus or what other split of components?
