Slov is on bernd.group
He doesn't come here because this board is inactive.

But Brbernd posts about as often as you, about on weekly basis maybe. It's the Ameriball/Australian in the Syria thread, and me blogging. Me on daily basis. Sometimes BO posts one, probably when logs in.
Everyone else left.

I lurk on an almost daily basis

>>49993

I'm actually alive and maybe even exist, but not posting for various reasons.

>>50014
We understand. I only blame Slovborg. And him only for the fun of it so nod really.

>>50014
You're alive at least. And that's all that matters on a daily basis

>>50020
>We understand. I only blame Slovborg. And him only for the fun of it so nod really.

You can't contain SlovBorg's srs discussions in one place bernd. It's too powerful

Do they usually make this during Easter in Hungary? Looks tasty

>>50094
Yes. We have Easter ham. It's smoked, then at home everyone cooks it, sometimes with other ingredients (other meatstuff), sometimes whole eggs in shells, sometimes the cooking water is used for other soups such as bean.
In Hungarian Easter = Húsvét, literally means The Take of Meat, since it was the end of the 40 days great fast (Lent, Quadragesima), when they had to suspend the consumption of meat.

>>50098
How interesting. Gonna try doing some of those during next Christmas

>>47013
The original is in OP, done by some Russian artis, his signature is in the lower right corner of the drawing.
The cut out head? Who knows. I know it from Krautchan/int, maybe some Bernd created it. But maybe was just a repost from 4chan/int or pol or somewhere, who knows.

>>47014
I think those are speckles of light, reflection of some light source. Supposed to make the eye look glossy. Other memes have that too, for example Pepe.

>>47013
I created original template after this tweet was made. just painted over og pic in paint net and called it a day

it didn't stick till few months later some russians or ukrainians started pasting them on random pics and recreating other memes with him

>>50167
Congrats on making IB history bernd. You and Hungary bernd >>47015 are in the same league since he made the BONG mem earlier on this board

>>50206
Need to make a Gondola worry bear now tbh

>Doing good helping your local stray cat, keeps away rodents.
>Cats are like that but some variation exists depending on how they grew up,

yes srs

Most cats around my location always avoid humans whenever possible

>Do not get emotionally attached.
She has other people feedinings here so obviosuly not. Though, she does spend most of her time with me though. I think she let her other cat friends know about me. I dunno bcs they all recognize me for some reason. Even the indoor cats around me

>>50127
>always avoid humans
Some an be quite feral. Possibly some bad experiences with humans. Sad.

>She has other people feedinings here
She mastered the tricks of survival.

>they all recognize me
That is curious.

>>50200
Congrats.
I am also sorry to hear that.

>>50202
>>50202
It's okay. Things like this happen in life. I already tried to make her a house cat for months but she made her choice of being a stray instead.

I'm sure she's in a better place though.

>>50163
Well I am going based on the video, specifically where he said “Hitler was an idiot, Stalin was a genius, Stalin played Hitler with Barbarossa”

How can any of that be true? Barbarossa was one of the worst military disasters in world history?

Suvorov does bring into account the Soviet perspective that is often forgotten in the West, but there is ample evidence on the German side that the attack was premeditated with the goal of the destruction of the USSR.

Stalin probably did have confidence that, in the event of a war, the USSR would be in Berlin by fall of 1941. Who cares? It shows how out of touch he was, not how genius and powerful he was.

>>50162
>Former GRU officer says Russia is strong and can do no wrong and their leader is the smartest man in the world
Plus Suvorov did not say that at all.
>>50159
>"our mistakes are actually strengths you just don't know how strong we are fear us" line.
Neither this.
Nowhere Suvorov says getting beaten by the German at the launch of Barbarossa was part of the plan.
He clearly says the German attack collapsed all the Soviet plans. It's the other way around.

You note Crimea and Donbas and Mariupol, pulling current events into the discussion tells me you extrapolate from the current stance of Moscow, that if a plan fails they just say they did not want to achieve that - or at least what you think is the current stance of moscow.
Another problem with this that Moscow nowhere stated what they wanted with the initial attack.
They did not claimed beforehand that they wanted to capture Kiev. We, the outsiders, guess that it was in the plans (yeah, they really thought it will be like a 2nd, Crimea maybe I'll write about this too).
But they can freely claim they did not want to capture Kiev, they just wanted to distract forces from the south and such. We don't know for sure and can't know for sure.

>>50164
>Stalin played Hitler with Barbarossa
This was never said by anyone.

>>50152
That's a controversial subject around these parts.

Well, now that he probably isn't here, it's time to reply in more earnest. Probably will go on in a couple of posts in the following days.

First back to the previous post, just above >>50166
Stalin played Hitler to get into a war with France and Great Britain. Barbarossa was an unseen event by him, it took him by surprise. Suvorov spent time on explaining this too (eg. warning from Churchill, or the sheep price index).
We have to remember in the interwar era there was no CIA to play anyone on Earth, or US based multinational giants to buy the rest. All the major powers had their independent will, which wasn't subordinated to the US master. They had their foreign politics and secret services weaving a web to catch all the others and further the cause of their own country. It wasn't a two sided game of the Cold War.
Communism had quite a few sympathizers all over the world, and recruiting agents for the SU was easy. Stalin was also a devious psychopath who played the Soviet Game of Thrones, and outsmarted all the competing Jews. Furthermore it would be a mistake to confuse the various eras of the Soviet Union, these aren't Andropov times with the lazy corruption and high level of inefficiency.
The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact not just allowed the SU to act unchecked inside the limits of the agreed border of influence, but it allowed to get into a serious war with France and GB for Germany. One of Moscow's goals was pushing Germany into that mire they expected the war to be. They calculated well the war started. But they did expect what noone expected that Germany will breeze through several countries including France. So that was a failure, they wanted the Germans to bogged down for years in the West as they did in WWI. And failing to recognize they are next are partially for the wishful thinking that the Germans are preparing the landing in Britain.
On the side note they surely observed curiously the Blitz, which had some resemblance to their Deep Operation/Battle doctrine.

While I was browsing through Youtube I noticed a video about Naruto powerlevels and it had Tenten in it so I watched it because I like her.
They ranked her lower than Choji and other characters which I felt was odd and I wondered why they would do that so I looked her up on google and there is a Naruto wiki and the wiki mentioned data books that actually had stats for the characters listed. And in these books she has a higher level than Choji, so the people that made this video were wrong and just making things up even though there is a canonical source for such things.
This really annoys me.

Barett is Australian now.

>>49664
Good for Australia I guess.
There is no news if they have some extra plan with them? Just continue manufacturing the barretts, or they want to do something new with their expertise?

Interesting, so it go full circle. Germany is talking about buying Boxers from us.

German companies can't produce enough?

It's reconstituted food. His opinion is "as good as any such can be", and it is a good review for these. Except that one meal which he spits.
>Defence contractors?
No. Civilians. Tourism, camping, and hiking is a consumerised industry in itself. Bunch of people spend money on all kinds of useless shit, clothing and gear and packaged food, and go glamping with their shit. These types of food packets with Mountain House brand and the others fit into this.
Maybe you don't buy these, maybe I don't buy these, but there are plenty of people out there who do. Mostly Americans, ofc.

I'm thinking about Western Euro markets, if they buy these stuff. Because instant food ofc as popular as anywhere. I dunno what Western Euro hikers would prefer. Most Hungarians will laugh about these things, they probably never heard any of these.

>>49026
We usually just do meat and or seafood on the bbq here. I can't imagine wanting to buy any of that dehydrated stuff unless I were going to a very remote and unfamiliar conflict zone.

>>49027
Their pro is the shelf life, the ease and quickness of preparation. They are also light, so it's good if one can get water and don't need to bring that too.
So those will use something like these who are out for a "longer" (more than 1-3 days) period and don't have the means to keep food cold, and don't have much time for preparing meals. So those who don't camp in place, don't go by car, but are on several days hike on a trail. There might be others, like who create adventures for themselves like the straight line missions GeoWizard does, and ofc larpers, who play survival in their backyard.
In Europe however you walk liek 20 mins and you'll be in a settlement with shops and restaurants. Okay, there are areas, like national parks where this isn't true, and maybe the towns, villages would be out of way or add a considerable amount of distance.
