That’s why I literally specified the “north” pushed all the way to Seoul. The halting was pretty single handedly the intervention of China, there was no means of counter offensive without them. Then the Korean People’s Army managed to push back to Seoul. Keep in mind at the very start of the war, following the outbreak, the KPA actually captured Seoul. The UN forces arrived following this and came close to ending the war in defeat for the liberation movement.

People forget there are essentially four battles of Seoul in that war, the first two are the DPRK on their own, the later ones are with China having intervened. The UN captured Pyongyang ffs in October 1950. In early 1951 with the PVA having pushed the overstretched US back, the KPA was at Seoul again.

I think the wikipedia map gif is honestly a great visual of it, keep in mind Seoul is inly a little south of the 38th parallel https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/eb/Korean_war_1950-1953.gif

also this map showing in dotted lines how far things got by January of 1951. https://www.enemyinmirror.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/korean_war_inset_c-1.jpg

Some Korean units had actually been stationed in manchuria to rebuild strength during that far extent of the UN forces northward. For instance the 5th corps of the KPA. A lot of forces didn’t get the chance to take part fully in the collapse of the UN incursion, instead reentering or being at full force again when fighting reached near the 38th parallel. After all the PVA could do this incredible shocking campaign, but it means nothing if there are not Korean forces to hold those gains and get their footing again.

I sadly couldn’t find a number for the size of a Korean corps in comparison the a PVA army.

The UN imperialists got so close in Korea until the Chinese arrived and halted them, allowing the north to push all the way to Seoul’s doorstep

I am sure twitter and reddit are going to accept this and not say those photos are of him being a hostage

I know she had a falling out with Gus Hall, but still he must be rolling in his grave

can I see the pictures?

found some of the aftermath

could someone tell me what exactly I am seeing in this video? https://twitter.com/MyLordBebo/status/1766891196989706377/video/2

This may be the most disgusting thing NYT had said this whole genocide. Like there are more monumental statements, but this is so openly and needlessly bigoted and unhinged.

God she is such a fucking rat

lol. Someone ask them why Klobuchar was more popular

and Patton regretted it every day. Ike was the one really pushing for helping and working with the USSR.

Then why did she get trounced by fucking Klobuchar ?

I managed to find some game footage on telegram at least https://t.me/hclokomotiv_official/7865

Damn they got banned for a bit back in 2023 for

frequently calling on its supporters to insurrectional movements, which has led to serious consequences, including loss of life, many wounded, as well as acts of looting of public and private property.

And still won the presidency first round

He is not the Japanese president of Peru either, he is a Japanese-Peruvian president of Peru

Guy Henry was already perfect for the role, all of this was pointless, but Disney NEEDED to test the ethnically dubious waters so they could go hogwild with this stuff now. And I say disney specifically because all of their film studios are using this tech now. RO was the test case.

You know what George did for EPIII? He put a guy in makeup to look like Cushing and had him out of focus. Lucas had a better case for using Cushing’s likeness on account of actually knowing him and iirc Cushing saying that he wished he had pushed for Tarkin to live cause he wanted to come back to star wars as soon as a sequel was announced. Yet Lucas has come out against digital actors, much as he loves new technology more than story or writing, he knows there are godamn lines

"A computer can duplicate Tom Hanks, for example, and we already use that technology a little for stunts and difficult scenes.

"But if you bring back Marilyn Monroe, what you would have is a caricature.

Lucas is himself a pioneer of digital special effects

"You could do it but you can’t get a perfect actor.

“Acting is a human endeavour and the amount of talent and craft that goes into it is massive - and can a composite reproduce that?”

He added: “The voice would have to be dubbed and what was produced on screen would ultimately be the work of an animator.”

The director was one of the first to make extensive use of digital technology when he used computer-generated special effects in the original Star Wars film in 1977.

But he said that recreating Hollywood greats would be a step too far.

"I can’t see any reason to recreate John Wayne or Monroe.

“People don’t want to see an imitation of someone who was a strong presence in real life,” said Lucas.

btw randomly stumbled onto the fact that today is the anniversary of Guinea-Bissau’s independence being recognized. Obligatory anthem which is one of my absolute favs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZ-iCCJcl1A

They are continuing this with the goal of improving moral. They know their internal politics are even more fucked if the killing stops. So this way they can deal with the contradictions all the while the US will just pour money and weapons in and give them total support. If Israel was having this internal conflict without the war the US would probably pick a side again like when they gestured towards getting Bibi out of there a few years ago, iirc backing Bennet

Pretty sure there is a Guinea-Bissau flag in there. awesome

Also how political is anyone going to be when adapting Journey to the West? Like you can do vague theming about empires, but it is such a beloved and well known story, and one fundamentally about spirituality, not political intrigue

AC Odyssey is already such a horny game. wtf are they on about?

Einstein was a socialist and refused to support Zionism.
