Being a supporter of communism at that time was the best option. People often underestimate, due to thfir ingrsined hstred for the USSR, how terrible the russian empire really was. The russian empire was not better than the USSR.
Basically it would be something like The Death of Stalin, this black comedy that you just couldn't believe any of it was real and then are shocked by how much of it really happened
@weldonwin I had to pause the Death of Stalin and look up what happened because I was thinking "There's no possible way it was like this." Lo and behold, the only inaccuracies were timing, with some of the minor events happening over the course of months rather than days.
Not so much the US, more like BuOrd. As Drach said, US pilots and sailors did their absolute best and sometimes yielded results with these utterly terrible torpedoes.
Don't forget the taiho.... operation ten go or the Olympia videos.... And the destroyer development 1914-39 has quite a few good bits in it. Love history with some good jokes thrown in.
Even today, ice breakers are common in Spring and Fall as the many fiords of Sweden and Norway can result in sudden patches of ice in the Baltic and North Sea.
I saw Russia and Pacific and I just wanted to mention this guy called Radio Tapok made a song about the Russo-Japanese War called Tsushima. The song is in Russian but Iron Thunder Lyrics got it translated to English.
Admiral Makarov was actually a legit genius, hugely influential on naval warfare. It may be good to distrust Russian navies as a general rule, but Makarov was legit.
If i directed a miniseries about this i would put a lot of disclaimers at the begining, middlecand end of each episode saying this really, really happen. I would even offer links and notes to the appropriate literature for fact checking for the audience.
I feel so bad for Adm. Rozhestvensky. Somehow chaperoned his squadron the the Pacific despite its best efforts, then assumed full responsibility for the debacle in the end. o7
@@BlueflameKing1 I guess they did nominally achieve their objective,.... while alternating between derp and ethnically/religiously motivated slaughter.
First Crusade actually achieved something. The Fourth Crusade didn't even get past Constantinople, decided to sack it, and left it a shadow of its former self.
I’m not defending the Aurora’s crews decision to support the Soviets, but if they continued their superiority in discipline until 1917 I can understand being frustrated with this level of incompetence all around you
Please react to drachinifel's video on leyte gulf for more of the hilarious.. in a good way actions of navies . plus some great destroyers that showed as much courage as the Piorun. Go USS Johnston
The Russian Admiral, in charge of the second Pacific squadron didn’t go by the Suez Canal, because he was frightful that it was a bottleneck. He didn’t go because the British, because of the incident with the fishing trawlers, denied him access… Because of the phantom torpedo boat on Dogger bank, the British denied him the request to send the bulk of his fleet through the suez canal.
Yep I hate it so much. Who advised Tsar on this? just what kind of people were in power back then? What kind of aristocrats #creme de la creme# were looking at this and told everyone Go ahead ! Its going to be fun
Hey author, why are you laughing? Should you recall Pearl harbor attack, when 23 US ships were destroyed or damaged along with 350 aicraft? Given that USA is not landlocked country.
Japan sunk us ships us sunk Japan and beat Japan at it's own carrier game the Russian lost the war with Japan and lost its fleet how can you compare this to Pearl 😂😂😂
We got an angry Ivan. 🤣 Russian incompetent knows no bounds. Pearl Harbor ships were lost in an attack. Russians second Pacific fleet lost their battle before it even started. There is no comparison.
@@5969destinyHe's just an emotional and defeated Russian suffering cognitive dissonance. On one hand "glorious Russia is unstoppable" yet on the other hand, Russia has had the most horrendously pathetic history over the last 150 years.
Pearl Harbour didn't continue to get attacked for several months. The equivalent to this would be if the Japanese had appeared off the coast and the Americans had accidentally blown up the harbour themselves. Followed by New York, Washington DC and Chicago.
