In a set of fascistic speeches on Thursday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, White House power broker Stephen Miller, and other top Trump administration officials labelled the political left as a “terrorist” threat and vowed to use all of the tools at their disposal to systematically destroy left-wing groups.

    Many Americans probably think they liberated the entirety of Europe during WW2 with a little help from the British and Canadians.

      [Nervous laughter remembering my history class textbooks…and the History Channel specials…and appreciating how games like Medal of Honor and Call of Duty showcased many other countries’ contributions to the effort I was never even aware of]

        I remember really liking, I think it was Call of Duty 4 (?) as a kid because the main character was a Soviet soldier, and it was such a fresh perspective for that kind of game.

          Are we thinking of World at War maybe? The one where you were a sniper stealthily sneaking through the Red Square with a Mosin Nagant?

          That game was amazing. Along with Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, I’ve played it through multiple times.

          MoH:AA also featured a brief stint as the Soviets, too.

          Both also made sure we knew the PPSH “pe-peh-sheh” is one of the coolest SMGs ever made. :D

          I remember Call of Duty 3 on the Wii had a section where you played as a Polish tank crew!

            Yeah I think it was World at War. MoH games were cool too, but back then before online, CoD single player games were so much more cinematic
