Never trust your enemies. The only reason some #Finns have "European traits" is because of the #Axispowers during #thecoldwar. When you #genocide your #indigenouspeople, and replace the #history, it tends to happen. #Finnishpeople are not #European.

In case you were interested, here is a YouTube channel titled #TheColdWar, and here is their video on the Marshall Plan.

While watching it, I was thinking:

Do you think that the Marshall Plan unintentionally discredited the 1924 Immigration Act?

In addition, here is a video from #TheColdWar parent channel #KingsAndGenerals explaining the Russian Empire managed to conquer Siberia in the first place, namely to claim its lucrative fur trade - a trend that resulted in the depopulation of indigenous Siberians.

Last night, I watched this video from #TheColdWar YouTube channel (which I highly recommend, by the way).

In this video, they discuss attempts of the USSR government to Russify the various ethnic groups there (especially in Siberia and Central Asia).

Reporter Dan Ephron interview agents, diplomats, negotiators, and the prisoners themselves to tell the story of the last prisoner exchange of #theColdWar.

It describes how the agreement reshaped the relationship between the two countries—until it didn’t.

Turning Point: The Bomb and the Cold War (TV Series 2024) ⭐ 8.4 | Documentary 1h

I'm currently working my way through this superb series on #TheColdWar. I found the episodes on the collapse of the Warsaw Pact and the Soviet Union particularly moving. The bravery of ordinary people in the face of the threat of force; I can only hope I would have been so brave.
