TommyKay Reacts to Oversimplified's video on WW2: • GERMAN REACTS TO WW2! ...
Since you guys really liked the WW1 and the WW2 Oversimplified videos, we're gonna be doing some more reaction videos to all of this.
Today we're visiting a topic we haven't really touched on the TommyKay channel, the Cold War. They really should make a good mod about that for HOI4...
Also apparently Tommy doesn't know much about this time period so he is going to be learning a lot during this episode, shout outs to Oversimplified per usual for these amazing videos!
REMEMBER! This is all educational and for entertainment! We will moderate comments, so behave yourself and keep it educational.

The U2 spy plane was a high-tech marvel of the 1960s. Capable of speeds in excess of 500 mph, the U2 was used by the US government to spy on the Soviets. Among its many uses, the U2 was used to fly over the Soviet Union, capturing aerial photographs for use as intelligence. One such mission involved the U2 spy plane flying over the Soviet city of Alma-Ata.

Something that they don't really teach or talk about from the cold war was the fighting over the Uranium mines in the Congo.

Just to let you know, one of the reasons most people don't talk about the rebuilding of europe is because it was a bit of a controversy. They basically used the German POW's to rebuild all of Europe under very hard restrictions to their freedom. In Denmark, they had young german soldiers all the way down to 16 years old clean the beaches of mines with nothing but a knife at the beginning. This is why it's not talked about or really shown, because it could be used to show that the west were no better than the German/Russian/Japanese at the time. Just my 2 cents.

Fun fact about Romania during the cold war: Although we were a satellite state like the rest of the eastern bloc, Romania had a fair bit more freedom than you'd normally expect. This was due to the fact that the USSR really didn't want to try it's hand at a full blown invasion of Romania with it's terrain being pretty good for defense already and Romania being somewhat known for the fact that we simply didn't give up (Mostly because we have a colossal and unspoken martyrdom boner) so romanian leaders during the cold war had more freedom to simply refuse soviet commands since the soviets couldn't just roll through them like other regions without either directly endangering their control over the region if they lost or being forced to win fairly phyrrically which they also didn't enjoy. This is also why Romania was able to do things like ignore the Soviet boycotting of the 1984 Los Angelas Olympics boycotting unlike other satellite states.

My grandfather was living in the the US during the cold war, he was an elite spy for the KGB, I often talk to him about it but he refuses to list some of the details even today, he often talked about how it all worked, and it seems very complicated and elaborate, from what I’ve gotten from his stories is that it was a very good spying network

39:19 The Sino-Soviet split started with Krushchev's denunciation of Stalin in 1956, and, in the early 1960s, both Krushchev and Mao accused each other of being "revisionists" who betrayed the revolution, and in 1969, they actually went to war with on another over border disputes. That was also the time of the Cultural Revolution in China, and by that time, the Soviet leadership was fully vilified in China as a pack of counterrevolutionaries. By the 1980s, after Mao had died and the "Gang of Four" had been deposed and blamed for the excesses of the Cultural Revolution, after USSR-aligned Vietnam had deposed Pol Pot's China-aligned regime in Cambodia ("The Khmer Rouge", officially "Democratic Kampuchea"), and the US and China were both supporting allied anti-Vietnamese rebel groups in Cambodia, China was actually more like an American ally than a Soviet ally, even supporting the "Mujahedeen" against the Soviet-backed communists in Afghanistan. Interestingly, though, the Soviets and Americans were allied in supporting Saddam Hussein's Iraq, while China apparently supported both sides and North Korea supported Iran only. That being said, the USA also kind of supported both sides, in that Ronald Reagan, personally, conspired with other high ranking US officials to sell weapons to Iran as part of a scheme to buy weapons to give to the Contras in Nicaragua, despite congress having voted to not aid the Contras, and which might also have had something to do with American hostages in Iran; however, this was not supported by congress, and thus hidden from them.

[@digitalpirate2183]

​@@KIKO00752It's a democracy where coalition of parties choose a prime minister, Germany at least honest in its elite oriented policy by not covering up the same thing by "my binary worse and worst election" so wings of elites could make their own business silently when simpletons actually think that they decide something except which face to see on TV and what formal BS to hear for 4 years.

[@DovahFett]

@@KIKO00752 Her party could be voted out of power if the people wanted her to go. And if she was unpopular enough the party itself could even replace her with someone else. She's still in power because she's remained popular enough to do so. That's completely different from Putin's fake democracy where he just alternates between President and Prime Minister to get more terms, and he suppresses opposing parties to stay in power, including but not limited to banning them from elections.
