Both, based on IFW Kiel’s numbers. Military aid was about even until the end of Biden’s term, Europe generally provided a bit more non-military. The US sent a huge amount right at the end of Biden’s term. Since then, the US has sent basically nothing and Europe has mostly covered the shortfall

That price includes a whole bunch of stuff besides the actual tank. To quote the Czech Ministry of Defence (machine-translated):

The purchase price of 44 tanks includes self-propelled and anti-mine protection systems, as well as integrated logistics support including spare parts, support management, documentation and training.

So basically it’s 44 tanks plus a massive service and supply contract to keep the tanks running properly

I can’t. Scents, tastes, and sounds are out too. When I am aware of having dreams (which is rare) I don’t ever remember any actual sensory information, just concepts. Those concepts can be quite detailed, but it’s the idea of them rather than the perception of them

You’re actually both right, Lennon actually took so many drugs that he astral projected to the 2020s. He tried to use chat gpt while he was projecting into the future, but he didn’t know what a computer was so he didn’t turn it on

Oh right, so Hitler’s dad Alois was a Nazi since he raised Hitler even though he died before WWI and doesn’t seem to have had any unusual views. And then since Alois was a Nazi, I suppose his dad must have been a Nazi too, and then it’s just a solid unbroken string of Nazis all the way back to the dawn of humanity

If Anatol was involved with Hans’ career at all, sure, I could see why it’d be relevant. As it is, he died only a few years after Hans graduated and long before his involvement with government or the Heritage Foundation.

The guy in question is his dad, not him. Anatol von Shpakovsky died in the 80s

If a guy is doing nazi things

The entire problem here is that there is literally no evidence anywhere of the guy in question doing any Nazi things at all

I’m not saying people can’t speculate. I’m saying I think the conclusions they reached are wrong. That’s equally fine to do on the internet

Oh shit, thanks for the correction on that. I’ll edit the relevant comments

Stop dancing around the issue and quote what you are referring to.

I know what the White movement is. Their only unifying factor was opposition to the Reds. If you want to claim that it was “openly and explicitly fascist”, quote the bit you want. The wiki article does not actually use the word “fascist” at all, so I assume that when you say “explicitly” you either do not actually mean “explicitly” or you are referring to something other than what you linked

I left it out because I don’t think that we should use the activities of someone’s child to accuse them of doing a separate wrong thing long before the the child was even born. Every single Nazi ever was the child of someone

To quote the wiki page you linked:

The White Armies comprised a number of different groups, who operated independently and did not share a single ideology or political goal.

They did not move straight to Huntsville.

It’s also absolutely ridiculous to call all White emigres Nazis. Was Alexander Kerensky a Nazi?

It’s not even the same initials, though‽ You haven’t read the report, you don’t know that it’s even about the guy in question, and yet you’re still leaning on it to say “it does seem that he was at least accused of Nazi collaboration at some point.”

1941 is absolutely the middle of WWII and that’s when he goes missing.

We have nothing except the word of his son, which has proven to be very unreliable testimony for most things, even while under oath.

We have nothing saying he’s a Nazi in the first place!

I do not care about defending this guy. I know nothing about him, I haven’t read his work. I care about opposing the flinging around of unjustified accusations of Naziism; that shit is serious and should be treated seriously. Insisting that someone was an actual member of the Nazi party on the “evidence” you have provided is playing directly into the hands of the fascists that whine that people on the left call everyone Nazis these days. You actually are doing that.

That seems like a very uncharitable way to describe people pointing out that OP hasn’t actually presented any evidence and has seemingly misread their own source. I think there needs to be something stronger than “was a Russian emigrant who was unaccounted for after the Axis invaded his home” to call someone a member of the Nazi party

Because they’re making huge unfounded leaps of logic and then doing things like accusing people of defending Nazis for questioning the logic

He does not pop up in the middle of nowhere. As I have already said to you, your own post says he retires there after living in America for over a decade and working in Jacksonville, Florida Alabama (thanks to derfunkatron for the correction)

Being unaccounted for in the middle of fucking WWII is not evidence that someone was an active Nazi

Is there any indication that that report is even about the guy we’re talking about? What does the Ia stand for? Is there some evidence he was in Belarus?

As I replied to you elsewhere, your own post does not say that he moved to Hunstville in 1951. Additonally, being a WWII refugee with useful skills is not an indicator of Naziism.

Unless this book talks about Shpakovsky specifically - and I assume you’d have mentioned it if it did - this is not proof of anything at all. You cannot take, “a lot of Russians joined up with the Nazis after the October Revolution,” to show that one specific guy was a Nazi; this is the ecological fallacy at best, even if we assume that most white emigres did that. Like, it would be absurd to call Alexander Kerensky a Nazi, and yet your logic here does exactly that.
