Russophobia. Soviet click on the American nose

In the 50s of the last century, the Soviet Union continued to be a closed country. This allowed the countries of the capitalist camp to consider themselves to be ahead of world progress in literally everything, including science and technology.

Based on this, one can imagine what a blow to the capitalist world led by the United States was the news of October 4, 1957. It was on that day that the USSR opened the space age, having launched the world's first artificial satellite into low Earth orbit.



The next issue of Tired Optimist, titled Russophobia 8.0, tells us that a Soviet satellite launched into orbit turned strategic American weapons into a pile of metal. No, the weapons, of course, didn’t disappear anywhere, but sobering came in Washington with the understanding that the USSR had surpassed them, and therefore received a military advantage.

Further, the author talks about the Caribbean crisis and how the two superpowers of that time stood on the brink of a nuclear war. The situation between the USSR and the USA was tense to the limit. Soviet missiles literally under the nose of the Americans were in Cuba, which was a click on that same American nose. Clicked painfully, as in the case of the 1st satellite.

About these and other events of the Soviet period - in the video:

            Up to 70 percent of the cost of German tanks during WWII accounted for the "finishing" of vehicles, supplying them with comfort elements for crews, interior decoration ...
            How it all ended - the whole world remembers.
            The socialist "filed only" tanks rolled through the Reich with a steel roller, crushing the capitalist "masterpieces" of Aders and Porsches.

              And now it is surprising that the main trends in creation are associated with very complex design features, albeit very scientific. At the same time, they forget that any type of weapon must also have the highest degree of foolishness. This is what must be taken into account. High-tech weapons "for the fool" are always the path to Victory. An example of a T-34 in WWII.

        Still not afraid! After World War II, the positions of the communist parties were strong throughout the world! They, the Western capitalists, began the Cold War because of fear of the Soviet ideology! At first, the communist movement of Greece was crushed by force, through a secret operation they destroyed the communists of Italy, France and continued the struggle with the national liberation movement in Latin America and around the world. They are still afraid of the USSR!

          I once read a biography of Eisenhower.
          So, only thanks to the fact that he once was in fact the commander of all Allied forces in Europe (during the Second World War), and personally had contacts with both Zhukov and our other generals and marshals - only this experience gave him understanding of what the USSR and its people are. And only because of this he vetoed the numerous and passionate attempts of the Pentagon to use nuclear bombs against the North Koreans in the Korean War (the Pentagon was then really just obsessed with the idea of ​​once again using this super-weapon as soon as possible in order to stop the spread of the "communist infection" in the South Asian region - that's how they looked at the Korean conflict then).

                        And I agree and disagree. I recently often criticized the Communist Party. Such a feeling that they are happy with what is happening and they are happy with everything.
                        In general, the whole situation in the State Duma reminds me of the People’s Chamber of the GDR. There, it seemed the same was a multi-party system, but at the same time there was the supremacy of the SED.

                        Would it be some kind of LDPR - I wouldn’t have any questions (the LDPR with Zhirik generally crept into high spheres only thanks to the charisma and genius of Zhirik), but the Communist Party? More was expected of them. MUCH more. But they, too, simply integrated into the system, and became another LDPR. To # the party elite on the common people, to be honest. They already live approximately like functionaries of the times of the USSR. All they need is more from life. The dream came true (and even under capitalism).

    it’s funny to read this news after everything that happened afterwards, so you can click your nose as much as you like, but the real winners don’t give a damn about it, nothing stands still

      this news is somehow funny to read

      It’s strange. We just discussed (see the article on declassified American documents regarding Bandera) the need to preserve historical memory and patriotic education - and hello there!
      Not a minus. Few people than such a mockery inspired.

      But the real winner is precisely the USSR.
      Or if you are about modern The United States - from that time on, an abscess of such epic proportions began to ripen, that it would soon finally burst (and burst already in the 98th and 08th, then with the strain of all forces, but somehow managed to patch it). However, soon it will burst completely. So this does not smell like victory.

    Gentlemen, please tell me honestly, besides Victory and Cosmos there is something to be proud of?
    This is akin to the fact that modern Egyptians would be proud of their pyramids.
    Is it really not clear that all this is history, all this is in the past, but we live now, and there is tomorrow, in which we somehow do not really fit in.

      Yes dofiga reasons, but you obviously will cheat on everything.
      However, if you please:
      Russia - One of the very few European countries where traditional family values ​​are respected and honored to this day, and sodomy and political correctness do not flourish.
      Russia - the world engine of science. Since the 19th century, the scientific languages ​​of the planet Earth have been and are Russian, English and German. Any serious scientist already then had to know the Russian language (by the way, the same tank in its modern sense was in fact invented in Russia - google Porokhovshchikov's "Vezdekhod").
      Russia - A unique country with almost a hundred peoples (and even more nationalities), and all of them have coexisted quite well over the centuries and get along with each other like shoots of ivy on a core oak nation - Russian. No one else in the world has such an experience. Compare what problems today's Europe has, for example.

      And finally, I'll throw, perhaps, the old, but still painfully relevant song Talkova. Listen to this. And the song itself is beautiful, and its message is eternal (Talkova is not for nothing that many call the prophet).

        You shouldn’t, of course, do what I’m just doing, so I’m laying my tongue ... Of course, the points you listed are an undeniable plus, but family values ​​and rejection of homosexuality are not unique to us ...
        However, like the multinationality of the people living in our country, this is again a worldwide phenomenon.
        So this is certainly good, but not only our plus.

        Yes, that is - that is.
        But, IMHO, it would not be worthwhile to attract Talkov in the context of this topic. A prophet, not a prophet ...
        And his songs are very different: as the soul tossed, so the string sounded. A poet and a musician who feels harmony and feels false - he is not a political scientist, sociologist, or else, God forgive me, any ... qi. I understood that things were going wrong, and why did this happen - how many understood then?
        Rest in Peace, Poet!

        I completely agree with your words about Russia. But I disagree on Talkov, who called "the country of fools." Not a single country, let alone Russia, deserves such a name. Ordinary people live in it with an ordinary life. And sometimes peasant truth is much more brilliant than boyar ...

          Talkov said otherwise, excuse me. The message was exactly the opposite (on the contrary, that Russia is NOT a country of fools).
          I do not presume to prophesy
          But I know for sure that I'll be back
          Even after a hundred centuries
          The country is not fools, but geniuses.
          And, defeated in battle,
          I will rise and sing
          On the country's first birthday,
          Returning from the war.

              No, he just sang about the time when and all people will finally fall in love with their own country, and will speak of it not semi-contemptuously as a country of fools (and in the late 80s and early 90s it was fashionable - well, really, if the people loved their country deeply, the collapse of the USSR would not have happened despite everything) but just like about the country of geniuses. And they will also treat her "partners" other countries. Like the hope of the whole world on a ball called Dirt.

    It’s not up to us to judge the Caribbean crisis. We are living in a time when any event can turn this way and that. Similar incidents have been worked out by many experts. And we want to consider this crisis in half an hour.

    you somehow turn on the brain. They explain to you, but you won’t understand. it says that Russia is not a country of fools but geniuses always! and whenever and how the situation develops, this country is always great by its people. And whatever they say, our country is one of the most technologically advanced countries. They got it all with their iPhones. And if they wanted, they would have done, but why, if it is easier to buy? But in the nuclear, and other energy world without us in any way. And the collider was built only with the help of our scientists. Our garbage (phones) are not involved, ours are doing large-scale projects, space, the Arctic, energy, the best weapons and much more. Just as Talkov said, you don’t need to cherish your country and watch what genius we have. And no one has yet bypassed our country. We are not stomachs.
