    Ehhhh… if you look up the history, they weren’t THAT successfully industrious. They had LOTS of engineering screwups all in the name of the motherland. They helped win the war NOT with rampant successful technological advancement, but by throwing insane numbers of people towards Germany.

    Not to say they had none, just that there were many, many flaws and shortcutted projects that were never the less still greenlit to much disaster and economic waste.

      Sorry are you referring to WWII in a discussion about the cold war, which really wouldn’t ramp up for at least 5 years afterwards and would be mostly characterized by the 60s-80s and saying “if you look at the history”??

      Maybe you should take a gander at some history books buddy, it’s not like 10 years between medieval wars where technology would barely have inched forward, instead being an age of innovation where we went from planes to space travel in <50 years with the Soviet engineering beating the US at 2 out of 3 steps of the space race lmao.

      Not to say the soviet Union was some glorious infallible place or anuthing, I just think your comment is absurd and kinda irrelevant.

        Right, the soviet union wasn’t some glorious infallible place. Thanks for agreeing with me.

          That wasn’t your comment tho, dumbfuck, your comment was that the soviet union wasn’t industrially successful during the cold war. I disagree with you and think the justification you provided for your (shitty and baseless) argument was irrelevant to the discussion. Feel free to prove otherwise, but until then, enjoy deluding yourself into thinking you’ve won the argument because your ego can’t handle the notion of being wrong. Good day sir.
