I think the UK and US kept the military base though

Unrelated to China, but why is the Vietnam War listed as Indecisive or unclear outcome?

During the first and second Afghan civil-war there were also border skirmishes

Marcellus Williams was charged with the murder of Felicia Gayle. Prosecutors based evidence mainly on alleged confessions Williams had made, including one alleged by a jailhouse snitch.

In August 2001, Williams was sentenced to death. On appeal, he raised several issues, including claims of errors in evidentiary rulings, jury instructions, and victim impact testimony. He also challenged the use of his prior criminal history and alleged improper prosecutorial comments during closing arguments.

The death sentence was controversial, as DNA evidence had been claimed to prove his innocence, and the family of Gayle repeatedly stating they did not want Williams executed.

Despite pleas from the public and the family of Gayle stating they were opposed to the execution, on September 24, 2024, 55-year-old Williams was executed by lethal injection at 6 p.m. CT.

So, even the family of the victim was against it. An innocent man died while the real criminal is out there.

90% of Anime adaptations of western media has nothing to do with the original material, lol.

I think this is the one where they used a really bad AI? Like, True Lies looks awful. Aliens looks ok, but it seems theres nothing new there.

You could do that in Sim City 4, and Sims 3 had the whole “Open World” system with the option for all the sims to live their lives in real-time without you playing with them.

I think the other models would emulate the ps2 games. But most of the time the emulation was really bad. I think GTA LCS is almost unplayable on the ps3 because of it.

I think theres a special arcade version full of bonus stuff.

I remember how some PS3 models have like the entire PS2 hardware inside them and it could run both ps1 and ps2 games.

It’s posadas time!

There are a lot of people in South Korea that hates the US and Japan way more than the DPRK or China. There are still a strong anti-US sentiment in Okinawa and near US bases in Japan, these led to the 1960 and 1970 Anpo protests in Japan.

Apparently, in the end of the manga/anime/movie Sailor Moon makes everyone on the planet immortal in the future. Except for the people who live on the planet Nemesis.

I remember making movies using this game lol

The concept is very cool, of making movies over the years from 1900 to 2010, but it can get old quick

they had better troops and material aid and they just didn’t use them ???

They thought Chile was going to invade southern Patagonia, Argentina actually had planned to invade the southern part of Chile if the border negotiations didn’t went their way, which is why they were keeping their elite and cold-weather warfare there. Doesn’t justify sending young men to die in a stupid war, but it explains why the Argentine Army fought so poorly compared to their Air Force and Navy who actually caused problems to the UK.

junta’s terrible management & the whole military was like that.

The entire army was practically corrupt, the air force actually hit some important ships with bombs, but they didn’t explode due to poorly maintained equipment. They even tried to destroy the Royal Navy in Gibraltar using some left-wing guerrillas that the Junta had arrested. But I think they were caught by the Spanish police before they could act.

The whole war was badly planned because they thought that the United Kingdom would simply give up these random islands and everything would be resolved diplomatically. Most of these generals were imprisoned for this and for treating their soldiers badly, some of them literally had nothing to eat while they were freezing on the island, the Royal Army had night vision goggles, while the Argentine Army had nothing to see in the dark.

Britain should not have won on paper against an opponent on the other side of the world with every single geographical advantage but it was executed incredibly well.

The Argentine dictatorship sent conscripts (some as young as 18) to fight against better trained and equipped soldiers. The Argentine junta thought that Chile (which was allied with the US and the UK and had a long history of border conflicts with Argentina) would take advantage of the Falklands conflict and invade southern Patagonia, so the best-equipped and best-trained Argentine soldiers remained on the border with Chile.

Argentina could have won this war if things had gone in their favor, such as if their bombs actually worked and blew up Royal Navy ships, instead of simply not working. They received support from practically all of Latin America + Caribbean nations such as Guyana, and even Cuba and Nicaragua gave money and weapons to Argentina. The same happened with Libya. Venezuela, Guatemala and Brazil, who were close to the Junta, said they would send soldiers to help, but the Junta refused, probably fearing that the US would intervene in support of the UK and because the UK was threatening to bomb Buenos Aires.

Seems like HOI IV is getting a South America dlc/update.

Lord is from Miami
