Kim's dead partner IIRC

Could also be an old-timey prospector firing his guns off in the air in celebration when he gets the ball in the hole.

Cops always say to aim for center mass, when you really should be aiming for center ass.

Better than going and shooting up a Walmart, that's for sure.

Those dastardly russians keep putting sticks in the spokes of my bikes. They even make it look like I'm the one doing it!

It's basically "what if instead of collapsing, the USSR was killed in an invasion". Devs are Estonian, it's definitely inspired by Post-Soviet countries.

Holy shit, Tyranny is woke because men own ships???

why don't these people notice that their talking points, left-oriented as they may seem, always end up supporting US allies or attacking US enemies?

A combination of the american civic religion, american exceptionalism, their own material conditions, recognition of their position as the secondary (or perhaps tertiary) benefactors of imperialism, and a century of anti-communist propaganda have left them believing the following:

• The US may SOMETIMES do evil, but that is either by mistake or the cost of doing business, and it is ultimately a net progressive force for "democracy" and "freedom" aka "good"
• No matter how bad the US is, every AES is/was worse
• Every enemy of the US cannot be trusted, so they can only consume ~~propaganda~~ media produced by the US and its allies
• The US is actually a democracy, and policy can be influenced by voters

Whenever you bring up things that force them to address the dissonance between one of these and reality, they use the the other three to deflect. If you continue to press further, they either disengage, call you a tankie, or start the long slow path to tankiedom themselves.

It's worth noting that Fidel couldn't have pressed the button even if he wanted to, because the nukes were under the direct control of the USSR. At one point he did sendt a telegram to Khrushchev saying to launch the nukes if the US invaded Cuba, and IIRC Robert MacNamara later recounted that Fidel told him he would have approved of the use of tactical nuclear weapons.

So that the ForeverGM can take a break.

Yes, if anything the more work you do the less you get paid.
