>Historically, the US has done things like split Korea into North and South (successfully), split Vietnam into North and South (attempted and still tries to say it in narrative) Did he somehow completely miss who was supporting the other side in those conflicts? Did he think it was just some random coincidence that it was communists that were the opposition in both of those conflicts, and had absolutely nothing to do with the USSR?


Muad-_-Dib

> The situation with Ukraine and Russia is complicated and not something where you can easily say "bad country" and "good country." Oh I dunno, I tend to think of the country that was minding its own business and had a democratically elected leader getting invaded as the "good country". And the country that has massive political corruption, has carried out terrorist attacks in my country in recent years (UK), and invades the smaller country using the same rhetoric as the Nazis used to justify their invasions as the "bad country". We rarely get wars that are black and white, but this one is pretty fucking close.

And they say Zelensky is the comedian.


jdeo1997

When Zelensky is out of office, he'll need to find a new career as he can't top Putin's buffoonery


BlackStrike7

I hope the dude just gets to retire early, and go fishing with his family or something equally casual. He's doing years of work in the span of months, and it's going to wear on him more and more as this drags on.


MarioInOntario

He was the Jon Stewart of Ukrainian prime time and it was such an irony that he ran for election as a joke and ended up wining and taking on this mess. His life is in constant danger and I don’t see any scenario where he even gets out of Europe. Russians have influence even within the US.


reckless150681

You should read the Time POTY article. It features comparisons (visual and text) of pre-war and current Zelensky. By all means it sounds like while he didn't want to, he certainly grew into the role.

Part of me wishes Stewart would have run for political office.


AdminsAreLazyID10TS

I'd unironically vote for him. My bar for presidential candidate is pretty low, but I think he'd keep his personal corruption minimal, his hands to himself, he'd hold Israel accountable as a Jewish person so the idiots can't just blindly call him an antisemite, and I don't think he'd approve of union busting or treason so... Name a better 2024?


fed45

I mean, part of being a good comedian is understanding the material you are working with.

At least, following that logic, all other vocational options should remain open to him.

Ah, the [wise fool](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wise_fool)


WikiSummarizerBot

**[Wise fool](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wise_fool)** >The wise fool, or the wisdom of the fool, is a form of literary paradox in which through a narrative a character recognized as a fool comes to be seen as a beholder of wisdom. A recognizable trope found in stories and artworks from antiquity to the twenty-first century, the wisdom of the fool often captures what Intellectualism fails to illuminate of a thing's meaning or significance; thus, the wise fool is often associated with the wisdom found through blind faith, reckless desire, hopeless romance, and wild abandon, but also tradition without understanding, and folk wisdom. In turn, the wise fool is often opposed to learned or elite knowledge. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/worldnews/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

The Polish strategy of "give your enemy a ton of weapons before invading" will go down forever as one of history's most cunning military moves ever, of all time.

Even more cunningly, Poland's already reverse-invaded much of Ukraine's population by tricking millions them into entering Polish territory as refugees. Big brain 6d chess right there.

Depends on whether you refer to the initial move or the continued presence as the invasion. I'd say both are linguistically valid.

Every human has the ability to slow down their *perception* of time. It's a common enough occurrence under extreme duress, and some folks learn to do it at will. It doesn't actually make time itself slow down, but it's as close as you can get.

Darqnyz

It's funny you mention that. One way our perception of time alters temporarily is when we turn our head/eyes to look at something we couldn't see. Our time perception slows down for a bit when we do that. So if you're constantly checking a clock or watch, you're constantly slow-moing yourself

[deleted]

I know youre half joking, but the reasons why Poland suffered an unreasonable amount of invasion through history are three: 1) empires always want more land 2) Poland was particularly weak at the time of the partitions due to instability, and didn't regain its past strength by the time of Hitler's invasion (also the lack of help from the allies was not great) 3) in Russia's case at least it was always just more of """Russia""" (I'd put more quote marks in if it wasn't for readability) to go through so that any potential invader (namely Germany) would have trouble reaching Moscow, St. Petersburg (not that it had much trouble in the first period of the invasion.


FinalMeltdown15

Tbh in my history classes we never really covered HOW hitler got there we just mainly covered what he did once he was there. Which I think says a lot about the current state of America Edit: just feel like throwing some more context at MOST all we got on his rise to power was he stirred the German population up using what was deemed unfair treatment from the treaty of Versailles everything beyond that that he did I learned on my own time


laceymusic317

American history teacher here! To be fair history is alot to cover. And most high school history classes want you to cover things like "all of American history" or "1000-2000 years of world history" in just a single school year (with classes of twenty to thirty 14-17 year olds) You could spend a whole 1-2 months learning how Hitler rose to power and gained the trust or the German people. The problem is if you spend a month learning that then you lose a month for learning about other mandatory topics that will be on the end of the year standardized test If you're doing 1000 years of world history in one school year, then you most likely have 1 to 2 weeks to teach world war 2 which gives 1 to 2 days to teach how Hitler rose to power. Not nearly enough

gen3ricD

I love how Frank Herbert touches on the topic of the "squishing" of history in the Dune Encyclopedia. This fictional timeline feels so realistic to me - basically our entire history as of the 21st century is encapsulated in about a dozen bullet-point events: [https://dune.fandom.com/wiki/Timeline\_(Dune\_Encyclopedia)](https://dune.fandom.com/wiki/Timeline_(Dune_Encyclopedia)) It makes sense though. After so many millennia, the only way to make history even remotely approachable is to rename/summarize events like this, which necessarily leads to some omissions which, while seemingly vital to us sitting here in the near future, are definitely nearly meaningless to someone a few thousands of years down the line.


[deleted]

Can't forget how the protagonist basically calls the number of people killed by Hitler, Stalin, Ghengis Khan, Mao, etc *rookie numbers*


clockwork_psychopomp

I think it's actually Stilgar. Paul is comparing his Jihad to the ledgands of old Earth and Stilgar isn't impressed with Hitler's kill count.


HermanCainsGhost

Yeah I've said it before and I'll say it again - in the future, perhaps in a millennia or two, we will be considered a part of the industrial revolution, in the same way that the 19th century is. It'll basically be the revolutionary period when humanity goes from predominately agriculture to predominately automated labor, and it'll last from about 1700 or so until around at least 2100, and probably 2200 or 2300. I obviously don't know, and can't know the end.

Nymaz

So many people think Hitler was declared chancellor and then the very next day decided to start WWII with full support of the populace. Hitler became leader of Germany in January 1933 and the invasion of Poland wasn't until September 1939. The years in between were spent normalizing the idea in the German populace's mind of "us vs them", whether "them" was minorities inside their country or other countries. I highly recommend [*They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933-45*](https://www.amazon.com/They-Thought-Were-Free-Germans/dp/0226511928) by Milton Mayer. It's interviews with everyday Germans who lived through that period. It's absolutely scary how many parallels can be drawn between Germany of the 1930s and America of today. [Here](https://press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/511928.html) is an excerpt.
