Give a man A gun, Meth, an Ideology, and an Enemy and he will destory all in his path.

2018-12-26 07:23:18 UTC  

And considering almost their entire senior NCO corp was made of guys in their late 40s and early 50s, the Wehrmacht lost a ton of guys because of that.

2018-12-26 07:23:56 UTC  

The Amphetamines of the Past weren't as strong as the ones of today. I bet if the US military did the same tactic now we would have a better result.

2018-12-26 07:24:17 UTC  

They might, but not with the second par German military.

2018-12-26 07:24:53 UTC  

When your senior NCOs are on average a full decade and a half older than any other army, using hard drugs will wear them out really fast.

2018-12-26 07:25:31 UTC  

I would say the German senior NCO corp was the worst in the entire Second World War among the major powers.

2018-12-26 07:25:35 UTC  

That's why they needed to wait until the next generation of hitler youth were ready to be conscripted

2018-12-26 07:25:42 UTC  

Not possible.

2018-12-26 07:25:58 UTC  

Explain why they couldn't wait

2018-12-26 07:26:06 UTC  

Russia was going from hard to beat in 1941 to impossible to beat in 1943.

2018-12-26 07:26:34 UTC  

The modernization of the Russian military was set to end by the end of 1942.

2018-12-26 07:27:05 UTC  

The push by Army Group Center south towards Kiev would've been stopped in 1943 and likely 1942.

2018-12-26 07:27:30 UTC  

And the Soviet Union would've withstood the invasion.

2018-12-26 07:27:32 UTC  

Is it possible in the modern world? to win through war and violence?

2018-12-26 07:27:43 UTC  

Look at the first Gulf War.

2018-12-26 07:27:55 UTC  

And Grenada.

2018-12-26 07:27:59 UTC  

And Pinochet.

2018-12-26 07:29:17 UTC  

Also, German intelligence sucked. They predicted that the Soviet Union could produce 3000 tanks. The Soviet Union produced 30000 tanks.

2018-12-26 07:29:54 UTC  

Could We as American citizens do it? Could we pull it off?

2018-12-26 07:30:01 UTC  

Easily

2018-12-26 07:30:10 UTC  

Look at Grenada.

2018-12-26 07:30:22 UTC  

What state should we set up in?

2018-12-26 07:30:41 UTC  

My thought was Wyoming due to its lack of population

2018-12-26 07:31:01 UTC  

You mean Alaska?

2018-12-26 07:31:18 UTC  

Alaska is number 2 in least population

2018-12-26 07:31:31 UTC  

Wyoming is the least populated state

2018-12-26 07:31:34 UTC  

It is also number 1 (by far) in population density.

2018-12-26 07:32:01 UTC  

And they actually have a real independence party there.

2018-12-26 07:32:15 UTC  

Alaska would be very cold and hard to maintain, no farmland or ability to grow crops.

2018-12-26 07:32:31 UTC  

Lmao, tell that to Mongolia.

2018-12-26 07:32:32 UTC  

Can't feed an army without wheat

2018-12-26 07:32:53 UTC  

There are diplomatic solution around having no farmland.

2018-12-26 07:33:20 UTC  

The mongols pillaged, you have to assume that we would get no outside help at all.

2018-12-26 07:33:54 UTC  

Build ourselves up from nothing and work from that.

2018-12-26 07:34:47 UTC  

Alaska also has a huge "Native" population, the largest percentage of Indians in America

2018-12-26 07:34:52 UTC  

I'm talking about modern day Mongolia.

2018-12-26 07:35:15 UTC  

They have no farmland, but they rely on mineral extraction in exchange for imports.

2018-12-26 07:35:32 UTC  

They have a pretty nifty country running

2018-12-26 07:35:43 UTC  

And if nobody decided to buy minerals?

2018-12-26 07:36:15 UTC  

Um, then literally every place in the world that relies on mineral extraction is fucked?

2018-12-26 07:36:16 UTC  

I'm not going for realism, I'm just stating worst case scenario
