Hits even harder when your learn the Soviets did everything they could to try and avoid nuclear war while the US was the one who kept threatening it.
I remember some :brainworms: infested history teacher I had saying that the Soviets were pro nuclear war and told their citizens that the power of communism would protect them or some bs, just lies all the way down.
They offered to provably get rid of every single nuclear weapon they had if the US would do the same. The response from Reagan, IIRC, was that if the Soviet Union first got rid of theirs the US would consider getting rid of ours, too.
:amerikkka:
the soviets even offered conventional disarmament. too good for this fucking world :ussr-cry:
Fucking hell lmao
Literally "Trust me bro we'll do it" shit
The seed that planted the idea was some shit tv movie. If someone had made reagan watch "Threads" I think it would have upped the overall chance by a decent percentage.
Cw: don't watch Threads unless you want to be haunted for a month or two. That ending. Hoo boy.
Yeah Threads is brutal, watched it as a kid and it definitely fucked me up but gave me good takes on nuclear war, I feel :doomjak:
Ouch. I watched it when I was 35. I can't imagine watching it as a kid.
Yeah in retrospect I was maybe a little young to be watching it (and I say this as someone who watched, like, Robocop as a kid and was fine) lmao
one side of the cold war had state sponsorship of non-proliferation movements, the other actively suppressed and harrassed them :thinkin-lenin:
during the cold war the west often complained about the Soviet Union making the issue of World Peace "political" and accused them of launching "peace offensives" against their countries.
:porky-scared-flipped: won't you think of the profits i make off of killing children?!?!
Also only one country on earth has a first strike policy. Can you guess which one? That’s right. CHINA :trump-anguish:
If you don’t mind using reddit, your best bet is probably r/propagandaposters with a search/filter for USSR posters
@SovietVisuals and @Propagandpolis on twitter (latter posts posters from other countries, not just Soviet)
Chineseposters.net for Chinese posters

I know this is supposed to make a point but as an ECG...
This is just Atrial fibrillation self terminating after a normal normal heartbeat.
Rate Not enough data
Rhythm Not enough data
P waves - F waves present prior to QRS complex
PRI - NA
QRS Narrow, no Path Q waves. Appears normal
Axis not enough data
T waves Absent? possibly coming up
ST Elevation. Nil ST segment changes, nil inschemai signs. No other leads for reciprocal changes.
