Oh I see then. Nice trips by the way.

Ooh thats a good topic!! Did you study the balkan war and the break up of Yugoslavia? It's extremely interesting ans make up a big part of europe today.

Boris Yeltsin in my opinion is like a fallen hero. He came to power during a very shitty time so alot of people hated him. Michael Gorbachev was smart man I feel but I think he's one of those people who were too smart and didnt think that people weren't like him and that's why privitisation failed to distribute wealth equally. He was just too mordern for russia. Putin used to be former KGB spy for the kremlin and he wouldn't have rose to power if it weren't for gorbachev's instability. Tbh every russian has done their share of killings boris yeltsin was a paranoid fuck and gorbachev had all the mordern ideas while putin wanted to be feared (take crimea rigging bombing incident for example) kek

How about organizing your time and writing a little everyday?

nah, I made something a bit controversial, my instructor was probably right that I should have made my topic more about history. I talked about how the absence of a nuclear war in the Cold War now makes a future nuclear conflict much more devastating in scale once such a war inevitably happens between two nation states. I think that one is going to happen some day, even if it is outside of my lifetime. I will not bring up the full reasoning I use, but one of the points I brought up was that even if nations like Pakistan/India or DPRK can get them, then what is to say that some backwater country in Africa doesn't obtain them, or someone like Egypt against Israel, the latter of which already has nukes. Balkan war I could have done, but I think the instructor was looking more for something about either WW1, WW2, or the Cold War specifically

These online classes have been a complete joke. If you care about learning they kinda suck, but if all you are after is a degree they make classes so much easier. I have so much more free time now. I'm going to be taking the max amount of credits I can over the summer semester, hoping to graduate a year early.

Cs major btw.

Ehhh that sounds more like a debate than a historical essay. How did you find good evidence to back that up? Personally I don't believe in nuclear war happening in one of the MEDCs but perhaps in LEDCs where there is less order and low political power to fight back. Even so I think majority of nuclear used will be just for testing to show off whose nukes are better kek. Most wars are now very developed and we got $$$ to thank. Money makes countries closer but also makes countries turn to proxies. With the current form of diplomacy, i really see a nuclear war as extremely low.

>good evidence to back it up
the soviets during a 1979 military simulation planned to use 'tactical nukes' to wipe out NATO forces in Germany (7 days to the rhine), and the Americans had a policy of a 'first strike', which is a preemptive nuclear attack to destroy the enemy before they can retaliate. considering the circumstances surrounding these weapons, I don't think that two nations possessing them would not use them in the interest of preventing MAD, in a similar fashion to how Truman decided to nuke Japan to end the war because it allowed America to obtain their strategic objectives much more clearly than through 'operation downfall', or by the other means available to them like a prolonged bombing campaign/naval blockade/liberalized peace treaty
>war as extremely low
for the moment, yes, I think that a nuclear war happening in the next 10, 20 years between two developed countries is very low. however, it has not even been 100 years since they have been discovered, nor has there been a major conflict in the world to answer the question as to whether or not they will be used. it is impossible to predict how the future will play out, nobody could have foreseen the October Revolution in Russia for instance, or saw America assume the position of world policeman in the 1920s. that being said, my views on the future are quite pessimistic. For instance I foresee most of Europe becoming fascist to address environmental issues, a war between Russia/China for Siberian land once China becomes largely uninhabitable for its massive populace, along with 100s of millions dead throughout the equator of the world. if my interpretation of the future is incorrect, which I would think that most people would prefer that, then obviously the question of using nuclear weapons is extraneous in the absence of war. again however, the future can not be predicted, only conceptualized until it happens
big text block, but that's my reasoning as to why I made that topic

>or saw America assume the position of world policeman in the 1920s
I meant nobody in the 1920s could have seen America assume the position they undertook after the conclusion of WW2, I would have deleted that post and remade it but whatever

'First strike policy' was mainly because of Truman who encompasses america's military man and nationalism ideals kek. I honestly think that now americans are a bit more smarter than they were in the past. (Also no one did studies to see after effects of nuclear war and the push for the nuclear attack was also bc of research)

I'm kinda lazy to type and I think we scared all the other anons off we our long block text rippp

Hmmm you seem very smart user but why did you only apply to 6 master programmes? You should have applied to 10 ish. Actually in germany masters are quite easy to get in I feel but graduating from bachelors is the hardest sighsss

meh, I don't personally like Truman, but I don't hate him for turning America into what it became. I think most US presidents, in his shoes, would have made the same decision to become interventionist in world affairs
>scared off the other anons from the text block
Unfortunate!

>why did you only apply to 6 master programmes?
Partly because I'm an idiot, but mostly to save on application fees. I opted not to apply for one because of scholarships, and was stupid enough to get talked out of one I probably would have gotten into (and probably on big scholarship) by my parents because of its location.
Next year I'll apply for more because I won't have to pay for my transcript evaluation again.

good luck user, although it might be too late now

You're just a retard lmao, math and physics arent too bad as long as you keep up with the workload

>>Pull a full semester withdrawal and switch majors
the fact that americans can 'withdraw' from exams is so funny to europoors because we don't have that, we either fail or pass a year or switch majors after we've failed the year

I have entered your thread entirely because Rem is cute. I have no intention whatsoever of being on topic.
