Military history is about more than battles—it’s about power, logistics, and consequence 🪖📊. From Cannae to Kursk, war reshaped nations, ideologies, and lives. Know the past—understand the cost. 🌍🔥 #MilitaryHistory #WarAndSociety

Text Shot: Female employees of the German munitions factory WASAG in their work clothes, 1916. The one on the right seems to have been “conscripted” (zwangsverpflichtet), though it is unclear on what basis. She was also apparently highly skilled insofar as she was a production manager of some kind.

Cross-post from https://markstoneman.com/2024/12/17/we-sometimes-describe.html
Text Shot: We sometimes describe aggressors as “brainwashed” by propaganda that dehumanizes their victims, so much so they are “hypnotized” into committing atrocities. But what if the “dehumanising” propaganda rather legitimizes cruelty, makes it ordinary, and the aggressor sees the victims' humanity all too clearly? – Peter Pomerantsev, How to Win an Information War: The Propagandist Who Outwitted Hitler (PublicAffairs 2024), chap. 4.

#RussiaUkraineWar #WarAndSociety #RussiaIsATerroristState #ПутінІдиНахуй
Text Shot: One thousand days since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. One thousand days, and we still have our heads in our duffle bags. No efforts to lead public opinion on why higher levels of support are necessary. No significant build-up of our industrial base to put paid to Putin’s ambitions. And we’re still hamstringing Ukraine in its ability to strike the Russian war machine where it needs striking.

This is one way to view war, but I find it unhelpful in the face of Russia's genocidal ambitions. #RussiaUkraineWar Preserving the very existence of Ukrainian culture and language, not to mention freedom, has to count for something. #WarAndSociety
