Actually not at all!
However, I recently listened an audio book about the Continuation War between Finland and Russia (part of WW2), which might have had an impact.

Just last night I had a dream where I was fighting a Russian invasion from my childhood home. Ran out of ammo for my assault rifle and ran to my old room to get the machine gun. Somehow got stuck talking about it with other people and never got back to shooting the invaders. Just weird shit like that.
The Soviets also made scientific breakthroughs within their military industrial complex. Not much of that trickled down to ordinary people, which then hindered it from being further applied.
The silver lining of concentration camps is the human experimentation which gave solid evidence for solid science.
How much of "solid science" are we talking about? My understanding is that it was not a lot, and its quality was rather poor.
I imagine that we would be more scientifically advanced
I highly doubt this. The fascist regimes are not really welcoming for open science having scientists with freedom of thought. The science would be more like in the Soviet Union, where science education was great, but the advances were reduced to "government approved" tracks like space, weapons and maybe some medicine. Hard to see something like computational revolution stemming from a repressed regime.
Yeah. Iranians have a shitty government, but in all honesty they've been kind of pulled into all kind of bullshit most of the time. If you look at history, they've rather rarely been the aggressor.
Good video, not idea why the down votes.
Does anyone really watch these videos of a neck beard shouting at the camera for 10+ minutes? I wish they learned a bit of video editing tooling and condensed the message to 2-3 minutes.
I can't say I care much for his reactions or outrage.
The Iranian mullah regime has been announcing its desire to destroy Israel daily and loudly for decades.
Has it though? Daily? And surely you're not dumb enough to think the rhetoric used is anything but political theater? For Iranian leaders, saying death to Israel makes sense, since their main audience is their population and they need an enemy. For Israel, it's rational to stay quiet, since they want to associate with Western democracies.
Israel has never announced any intention to destroy Iran and expel the people.
They didn't announce much about Gaza in advance (or their expansion on the West Bank). And look what happened.
Iran has been attacking Israel through its proxies for decades. Do you live under a rock?
Whoo boy. Let's not start talking about the history of this conflict. Spoiler: no one will come out as a hero.
Seems like the rhetoric is that since Iran was building a nuclear weapon, it was justified as a defense. Now, if Iran had attacked Israel when it was developing its nuclear weapons, I wonder if that would have qualified as defense as well?
Apparently Israel has the right to defend itself. I wonder if Iran has that same right as well?
