    He was Ukranian I think, fighting the Soviets so that was the angle they were going with the current Ukraine situation. But they forgot to think about what side was fighting the Soviets in WW2 lol

      I just started For All Mankind, and just watched the scene were Von Braun is all “I chose America!!!” and I couldn’t stop thinking about why that was, exactly.

      On that note, if you “forgot” who was fighting Soviets in WW2 you’re not fit for government.

        The forgetting is that the Ukranians weren’t all fighting as the Soviets they were forced to be and were fighting with the invader of the oppressor.

        Shitty all around. Wasted opportunity to learn because here we are.

        And fuck Poilievre, his bully politics, and all the upcoming Canadian negative voters who will flock to him because he’s not Justin and his carbon tax bullshit. Trump Nation 2.0 and I’ll be just as mad at my own as I am at Americans now.

        I feel that’s really targeting a single incident in order to redirect the attention away from the environment in which that error was made. Like the cons are so eager to find fault in Justin so we’ll forget the hateful and shady shit they pull on the daily that they’re virtue-signalling hard on this one.

        Either way, adult shit like keeping the country going during a lethal global pandemic and improving the economy and trying to cling to the paris accords despite the O&G sector’s machinations, that’ll be less important than theatrical make-up and letting someone’s uncle be recognized inappropriately.
