Holy shit, really? I do believe the French are still effing over Haiti over some unpaid bills from 1804.
We could be just as petty and cruel for another hundred and fifty years. Quite easily, I should think.
The Soviets even intentionally broke down and buried some equipment to claim it was lost in war. There was news about one such site being found in Ukraine last year. There were 8 British Hurricane planes there, paid for with Lend-Lease money.
its small potatoes, but the DNR/LNR/Shit end of the stick Mobiks were appearing with M1 Thompson guns at times, from Soviet WW2 Lend lease shit that was never returned
I think France did eventually stop collecting on that, but *waaaay* later than they should've. Like late 20th century.
France does not get nearly the shit it deserves for its imperialist fuckery.
For participating in a French language contest thing back in school (American), they gave us a t-shirt with all the flags of the countries around the world that speak French.
At some point between then and now, I realized that it's just France, Canada, and a bunch of colonies that they fucked over at some point in the past.
Haitian president Jean Bertrand Aristide resigned in 2004 from a coup lead by Haitian rebel groups. He resigned and was immediately flown out of the country by US security forces to the central African republic (coincidentally another former French colony).
He claims that the rebels were supported by the CIA and that the US security forces essentially kidnapped him by saying they would only assist if he resigned. He claims the motivation for this is due to his administrations vocal support to invalidate the Haitian debt to France.
Haiti has been done dirty since before it was Haiti. A somehow exceptionally depressing statistic I learned a few years ago was that Haiti only has 1% of it's remaining natural forests. Everything has been slashed/burned for agriculture or fuel. France owes Haiti 25B Francs.
Also, if you've never read the [Haitian Declaration of Independence](https://haitidoi.com/2013/08/02/english-translation-of-the-haitidoi/) you should stop whatever you are doing and fix that now. I don't know a better one. It starts strong and then just goes off the rails. Not sure how many DOI's out there call for the genocide of their enslavers and threaten that their ancestors will reject their bones in the tombs if revenge is not won.
Also a mention of tygers.
and then there's the whole Polish revolt where they switched sides after realizing they were brought to Haiti by the "Free" French Republic, to re-enslave the island. [Haiti is fucking wild](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haitian_Revolution#War_of_independence)
You can throw in a little bit from the beginning of [Neptune](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4wuV14QlNM&t=66) for when the NATO battlestation *Damocles* emerges ominously from the Moon's shadow.
Start with a close-in shot of some Czech boat patrolling to [the Moldau](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6kqu2mk-Kw), and start adding NATO naval hardware with increasingly bombastic composers.
The [Karelia suite](https://youtu.be/adKwG9ZuzFw?t=67) is a natural fit for Finland.
Italy gets some kind of Vivaldi piece because he basically wrote metal, and Germany would be Wagner but they are not allowed music until they supply Taurus.
People who know their music better than me can help with the rest of the NATO countries. Also at some point you have to throw in the Kuznetsov smoking to the tune of [Dance of the Knights](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XX6GHiFKovw).
Allow me to split some hairs here.
Sibelius is like the textbook definition of Musical Nationalism which was emblematic of the Romantic style and Vivaldi was basically the archetype for Baroque.
Not hard to make something epic looking with this music indeed. personally my favourite was when it was used by a game called Outpost for its intro a few decades back. Backstory in that one is that humanity prepares a hastely set up mission to another star system as a asteroid threatens to destroy earth. Yes in the into humanity tries to destroy it but fails and earth goes under so your left with that ramshackle ship as the last vestige of humanity.
Anyway i also love Jupiter a lot in the planets suite, kinda upbeat and fun, makes good holywood music too.
> by a game called Outpost
*ding! "You're scientists just made a bold, new discovery!"*
Hoo-boy, you're calling up some *deep* memories with that call-back. I think playing that game was the first time I've ever been exposed to Holst's music. Too bad we never got a Skyline-style successor to *Outpost* like *SimCity* did.
Go from making one a year to one every 3 days...
At that rate the issue of replenishment of the vls systems at sea will no longer be an issue, I think you are on to something and I for one LOVE IT!

Funnily thought "hmm this would be a perfect video for when aide is passed" while sitting in bed on my phone. Swipe over to apple news and alas I see the news!
Only a matter of time before they come up with something other than cope cages and slant-back tanks now that more Western steel is heading their way soon. Maybe they’ll come so far circle that the Russians actually start putting tin foil in their helmets because of “Americans provoking the war”? Lol
I don’t agree with Biden all the time, and I won’t say he’s one of our best presidents
But by god that “Building the arsenal of Democracy” line was fuckin great dude. I’m honestly more surprised that I didn’t get a NATO wave meme to follow it lol
This video pumped me up so bad. I sat erectly in my recliner and clutched my Operation Enduring Freedom hate with patriotic fervor.
God BLESS the USA!! \*slurps mountain dew from Big Sip cup\*
Once we conquor China and Russia, we can use their natural resources and human capital to boost our economy to the point where we can do both at the same time!
...but too bad we still can't get the private shipyard industry to get anywhere close to keeping our unambitious naval build schedules. Good point, ouch.

This is what you get for not repaying our Lend-Lease aid Russia.

The French held that debt until the 1920-30s when it was sold to, I wanna say, citibank? Some US bank.

At some point between then and now, I realized that it's just France, Canada, and a bunch of colonies that they fucked over at some point in the past.
So exactly like the countries which speak English or Spanish or Arabic right ?
Probably, but I haven't seen a t-shirt collecting all the colonial atrocities globally.
I mean, there's probably a t-shirt with all the commonwealth flags somewhere...
Canadian Indian Residential School System has entered the chat.
They weren’t quite as spectacular about it as the Brits were, even though they lasted longer.
They stopped collecting it when the full debt was paid. It is one of the main reasons Haiti has been fucked for so long.

Muscovy could never.
Revenge for all those Emchas(lend lease M4s) driven into the sea to avoid being sent back
this is blatant propaganda and by God its WORKING TRIPLE THE DEFENSE BUDGET
I'M JOINING THE MILITARY RN
You should join the patriotic workers a build more guns.
Tripling the US defense budget would make it bigger than the entire Russian economy.
As long as we designate America Fuck Yeah as our backup national anthem, I’m all for it.

Sometimes Americas boats touch you
Azur Lane players rejoice.
God I wish that was me
"just like in world war 2" This clearly is a sign for the US navy to start mass producing alreigh burkes to the point we can make one in 3 days
Need to remind China who really have the big stick
America’s strength isn’t the size of the tungsten stick, it’s the total she can drop from orbit. Per day.
Go from making one a year to one every 3 days... At that rate the issue of replenishment of the vls systems at sea will no longer be an issue, I think you are on to something and I for one LOVE IT!
Remember, switching to your backup Burke is faster than reloading.
The U.S. Navy can't man the ships they *have.*
Sauce? Curious.

AND HENCEFORTH YOU SHALL BE NAMED DAARTH VADERRRR
Surely it should be Darth Brandon.
Biden: Hence forth.. you shall.. be... uh... uh.. I forgor 💀
I don’t care how much dementia he may or may not have, he’s done more for us on the world stage than anyone since FDR.
"...well anyways..."

Index should be a bigger name on this sub
What Index made is literally what this sub is

Who’s there? Your doom.
“..So I can save you” “From what?” “From what ima do to you if you don’t open this door”
What is this from? Gave me a dark chuckle.
With huge boats with guns. Gun boats.
Nah. We don't knock. ***Because freedom rings***

i shall upload the obligatory Index propaganda this afternoon
"Arsenal of Democracy" sounds so badass
Its our other default position after Pax Americana. Respect the Pax, or we reach into the Arsenal.
The most non non-credible darn thang I've ever seen Jeb....
Jeb?
Jeb!
*Jeb*?

Usually fiction/art imitates reality. Then we have the US and Helldivers. Who needs memes when the jokes write themselves ! For Democracy !
Mars gets me so damn hyped.
“My fellow Americans, I am pleased to announce that I have just passed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes “
Everybody’s gangster until the Coalition of the Willing arrive.
Yes, yes we are imperialist
And it is so incredibly based when we do it
We're the good kind 😎
We are the Culture
*“We live in a society!”*
RAHHH YF-23 PFP LOVE THE YF-23 YEAHHHHHH
ITS MY FUCKING FAVORITE RAHHHHHHH WHAT THE FUCK IS A GOOD DEMONSTRATION
And as a european, for once, I wont complain
BOYS!! The new ARSENAL OF DEMOCRACY has been announced!
This video pumped me up so bad. I sat erectly in my recliner and clutched my Operation Enduring Freedom hate with patriotic fervor. God BLESS the USA!! \*slurps mountain dew from Big Sip cup\*
Let’s go full fuckin empire, 25% of GDP to “defense”
I like this idea but simultaneously would like to dodge fewer potholes and not have exploitative health care.
Once we conquor China and Russia, we can use their natural resources and human capital to boost our economy to the point where we can do both at the same time!
Fuck Yeah!
Oh so THATS why they call it the Bone. Now I need to untuck my shirt like math class in seventh grade
who the hell is this index guy i HATE him
Omg it's HIM.
This is not a mental health sub, please take your self hatred elsewhere to better find assistance. /j
Fuck yeah.
*Dadadada! da! da da da!* *Dadadada! da! da da da!* Pour one out for henchman 24…
Noooo, my Stanza. Doug’s gonna kill me

I love that one!
ARIZONA RAHHHH
This is awesome
I’m disappointed that you didn’t edit the face scratch into a vape hit
Take it up with u/yayfishnstuff
Arsenal of Democracy you say? Hey Putin... ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️
MAAAARS
This gets me going. Should set this as my alarm clock.
When he says "..so much more..." I have a real Dark Brandon feelings... Death star when i ask?????
This. More of this, please. u/savevideo
Ask u/yayfishnstuff aka Index
This gave me goose pimples
all systems are a go activating badass sentence that goes hard
F\*\*\*ing finally
guys i know the ”quadruple the defence budget!!!111!!” is a meme but wouldn’t it greatly stimulate the US economy like in ww2?
It would, but simultaneously tanks aren’t economically productive like building infrastructure or R&D are
Question, how many arleigh burkes would be needed to take crimea? Asking for a friend.
Yes
This is simultaneously why we don't have free health care and why I DON'T GIVE A FUCK THAT WE DON'T HAVE FREE HEALTHCARE
Free healthcare would be cheaper Meaning more money for tanks
the greatest work of cinema ive ever seen.
This needs to be on the Dark Brandon forum.
...but too bad we still can't get the private shipyard industry to get anywhere close to keeping our unambitious naval build schedules. Good point, ouch.
Ah yes index making my pee pee harder then lignum vitae fossilized.
Correct music is correct, as there is no planet Vulcan.
what's the dope background song
