Your thread, the only thing I can think of was really bad and did not belong here
I did not report it however, nor did I report this thread.

This topic does not belong here.

Off topic stuff can be fun
But this is super heated

Iā€™d rather have my own children. Unfortunately it can never happen so Iā€™ve got nothing to hope for.

It is when you try to talk about what changed
Because a lot did and a lot was not good
And different sides see it in different ways

Probably because you didnā€™t have pictures taken all the time and in formal settings you would always be told to smile I imagine.

Me personally?
I guess the fact I see half of us dying in the next few years if Russia doesnā€™t change.
That sucks

I grew up in the 70s, I remember in grade school watching the body bags coming off the planes out of Southeast Asia, and having my mother explain to me what those were.

Well there was the cold War which sucked
But it came off the back off a real war

37

Well yeah, but i was talking way before that. Like right before World War 2 started or beginning to start or during.

i was reading a website, and it said i would be 5 inchers shorter if i was bornbetween 1950s-80s and im 6ā€™4 185 pounds

The propaganda tv broadcast makes me think itā€™s all a bluff. The claims they made in that little ad would suggest their firepower is 50 years ahead of everyone which is laughable

Oh it is a bluff, if you have been following the analysts, the Russian Military is in really poor shape, The oligarchs have been robbing the country blind for years. I saw an interview with a person with the IAEA, to keep the weapons current, you had to replace the cores every 6 months. If you donā€™t, they become duds.
