I would support this initiative in a serious negotiation; however, I could support a compromise if it was an Inuit pidgin (any Inuit pidgin!), Votic, Mansi or even Finnish.

a translation of Milton's "wealth of Ormus and of Ind" has kept haunting me for years when the strait is mentioned

I mostly write in English to address a mixed audience of other Northern and Eastern Europeans. Unfortunately this lingua franca is used as the home language by some people. Very few people I today's Republic of Letters can easily read or write Latin (as they did three hundred years ago).

Ja Iraani võetakse tõsiselt rynnata alles siis, kui Venemaa on Tatarstani jm juba nii palju Shahedi droonide tootmisliine pysti pannud.

Both sides had strong elements of insane death cult; it would be interesting to see properly quantified actual tactical-level evidence on how and to what extent it bled into battlefield decisions by commanders.

I don't have close relatives who served on the German side though many families here do: it was a matter of when you were born and other random factors which occupation army drafted you. Or your luck evading it (which in turn could prove ideologically unsound enough to cause a lot of trouble later).

And this particular oral history says my grandfather had to snare animals to ensure his and his brother's survival, so as not to starve. And to join the Communist Party. Later did fight in battles and got the status of a decorated veteran.

My grandfather, an Estonian citizen, was drafted into the Soviet army. Initially, he was enthusiastic about fighting the Germans but the unit was deemed ideologically unsound (Estonian) and thus is was sent to the Arctic to build (e.g railways); one in three soldiers didn't return.

In any case, my perspective on WW2 is based on the inevitable oral histories of the eastern front that crossed my homeland a couple of times (fuck both Hitler and Stalin who brought this on us – this is the consensus view).

Hitler had about ten years to shape the culture of the Wehrmacht that previously was, I believe, mainly Prussian in character, more Clausewitz than insane death cult. Hitler made decisions about armies, a field commander would say if a company was to be thrown away.

I think the crucial point is to look at what commanders below the Stalin-Hitler levels (down to the platoon leader level) did and how disposable they thought their troops to be.

The Soviet army did not bother giving specialist training to NCOs: the way to become a paid NCO was to remain in service after the compulsory conscription (and then to haze the new classes of conscripts like you were hazed). Learning on the job.

And when the former territories of the Russian Empire accepted it, the temporal interest amounted to two whole weeks.
