I haven't played the game but I heard that it turns out that your character has been brainwashed in the MKULTRA program and you can choose to turn on the CIA and defect to the Soviet Union

lol as soon as i heard you could side with the soviets i figured it'd end with you nuking the world because the ussr isn't allowed to be shown as anything other than absurd, over the top villains

Let's not forget the other Soviet soldier who prevented a nuclear war, absolute chad Vice Admiral Vasily Arkhipov , who kept his cool during the Cuban missile crisis.
Imagine being in that situation. Cut off from the world for days during a massive diplomatic and military crisis, sitting on a nuclear torpedo, with Americans dropping depth charges on your boat and your crew being convinced that the imperialists in their disregard for human life have started WW III.
The US also wanted to nuke Vietnam....and Korea....and China.
Good guys btw.
Kissinger stopped Nixon from drunk-nuking North Korea once.
Kissinger's good?
Chapo.chat is not a Kissinger fan club?
So I can share my collection of sexy kissinger's?
They're all sexy kissingers, man is a smoke show.
He is certainly stacked alright
Like donuts on a stick.
@VolcelPolice you're desperately needed
Kissinger waddles up behind you and creeks seductively, "Realpolitik".
Oh no oh god oh fuck
Please stop being so horny. Please
Does Kissenger say that, or is there some more objective evidence of that story?
Broken clock?... That felt gross to type.
And Iran and several other places.
Just what the US did to the Marshall Islands is a crime against humanity.
The Marshall Islands are for sure crimes again humanity. Even the way they forced US soldiers to get irritated is bad. Just all around ghoul shit. And the problem isn't going away. It is still relevant today.
What's the matter, smoothskin, you've never seen democracy in action before?
I live in a community that is seeing a large influx of climate refugees both in the form of Marshallese and Ecuadorian immigrants.

Just a sensible person.
We make jokes about Xi sending the nukes, but they would only do that in retaliation.
China is actually the only nuclear power besides India that has disavowed a first strike option.

Well, the centerpiece of the plot is that the US has secretly placed neutron bombs in every major population center in Europe, because they’d rather kill everyone than let them fall to communism.
Not sure if that’s portrayed as good or bad tho

but they are America’s nukes. Lol no shit this is a quote about defending putting neutron bombs in every European capital secretly

Before 1960 or so fairly easy. After that they started putting radiation detectors at ports and airports.
That said, it wouldn't have been that much harder than offloading drugs at a rural cove somewhere. Just have your rich american sleeper agents go on a sailing tour and come back with a souvenir.
The USSR had internal borders so it would have been harder.

I got into a Twitter fight with a lib just the other day who was ADAMANT that Castro wanted to nuke the US. I asked for a source and they just said "uh, look up the Cuban Missile Crisis, idiot"
These people will twist reality to fit their preconceived notions. You could say "of Cuba staining nukes on their territory meant they wanted to nuke America then the US putting nukes in Turkey meant we wanted to nuke the USSR" and they'd probably just say "yes".
You need to watch Queens Gambit. Really refreshing cold war stuff where the American players learn from the Soviet collectivist style and the soviet players are shown to be honorable dudes
i am a fan of chess and caught the last few episodes. i liked it and was pleasantly surprised by the portrayal esp considering netflix's past portrayals of the USSR
It's even more surprising considering kasparov was a consultant
Yeah I was really concerned it would go reaaaally bad after the Mexico City episode. And, well, it wasn't great in terms of portrayal but not bad either. The Russians started off pretty scary looking, then they became really cool and... The ending, well, it is definitely something that I haven't seen before in an American production.
Plot wise it would have made more sense to just leak the proj. Greenlight intel to the European countries to sway them over. Guess they really couldn't help themselves. I also think its funny that people are refering to the canon ending as the 'good ending'. You literally get used, brainwashed and killed by the cia.
