These days most of them are on federal payroll though.

They had their paid informers make the plans, but failed to rope in any rubes they could actually arrest, so all they could do was uncover the plans.

Unfortunately the Wehrmacht request to audit their forces was refused. That's why the historians in general consider the numbers they operate with to be within 10% error margin. You do realize that NOVJ, (like all other armies) was not concentrated in on single blob, but was spread across the...

They had some 80.000 men under arms at the end of 1941, 130.000 at the end of 1942 and some 180-200.000 before the capitulation of Italy. And these are not the wartime propaganda numbers, but numbers confirmed by historians in the last decades, with some 10% deviation due to many early unit...

And yet they managed to regenerate and grow after every enemy offensive, while the post war anti-communist resistance withered and died after much less intensive operations. The external support started after Italian capitulation yet before that they managed to raise large number of volunteers...

It's not automatic though, it depends on multiple factors. Perhaps the most crucial factor was that the population of Eastern Europe countries was exhausted after four years of devastating war. For example in Yugoslavia, German/Italian/Ustashe/Chetnik willingness to mass murder civilian...

First of all is cover, concealment and evasion to reduce the damage that drones and aircraft would inflict. Then you do what the Talibans started doing to the Afghan Air Force, put everyone tied to the operating the drones and aircraft on the kill list and start assassinating them, as they...

Canada would be neutral in the conflict, but of course Trudeau would render all possible aid to the regime, short of aiding them overtly. Basically, he would take a bitch approach.

Actually it's a disaster, the main reason for integrated grid is that multiple energy providers can reduce the power fluctuation that comes from constantly changing demand. Most power sources are rather inflexible in their output, so having a network built around single one is rather damaging to...

Don't forget the Uighurs, while Chechens fought exclusively as light infantry, Uighurs did combined arms warfare, spearheading numerous Al-Kaida assaults, until they were attrited to oblivion in the Aleppo battles. However some local units were quite effective as well, until they were attrited...

It's controlling the narrative, they want to make the Biden presidency be accepted as established fact no matter what.

Unless local forests and hills are near mayor communications artery, then the opposing force can mostly ignore them until the main threats are dealt with. In the Russian civil war, the Greens controlled wast tracts of land, but Red Army only detached negligible forces to contain them until they...

Tito had charisma in spades, while even his own side didn't really like Pavelič. I guess no one likes lawyers.

It's difficult to get residency in Russia, have to be a Jew if you want to move to Israel, I think Poland is also difficult to settle in.

However they were raised to be loyal soldiers as children, with those who didn't obey killed through torture.

Not militaries, just bodies willing to hold a gun. 70 IQ Somali spraying the M4 from the hip is less worthless than Bernie bro who is inacapable of touching a gun.

One important factor is that most of the Americans still have it good and recipients of the prosperity unparaleled in the history, so their willingnes to fight will be low, mostly just cheering for their side on social media, even if the kung-flu triggered economic crisis brings more hardships...
