ended up being a good thing in the long run.

They had a famine and millions died.

Because they had slightly more land than their neighbors? Or a business?

Cool, cool.

The nations with the lowest opinion of Russia are it's immediate neighbours, what does that tell you?

Yeah? Is that why they sail their nuclear powered vessels into our waters all the time?

Oh wait, we banned them. Lol.

Doctor Strangelove was not a pro war film.

It won't really be a world war, more Russia vs all the nations it has pissed off recently.

Which is actually a decent chunk of the world, come to think of it.

I live in New Zealand, I've never even been to the states.

Try again, sunshine.

ah yes, slavers and exploiters.

"peasants with a couple of cows or five or six acres [~2 ha] more than their neighbors" were labeled kulaks.

Not to mention the famine that followed this act of genius.

A vehicle movement is a vehicle movement though, there's still the same amount of traffic. And with the increasing number of electric trucks around, I think buying an EV truck would be far easier.

Given how large a tram network is, wouldn't the goods being delivered need to be trucked to a depot, transferred onto a tram, then taken to the final destination? Why not just have a delivery truck?

I'm struggling to see the advantage myself.
