The Cold War had a very unique origin in that the main adversaries (the United States and the Soviet Union) had just previously been allies in a separate, historically monumental war. Taken at face value, one might hear that sentence and imagine the Cold War took the combatants by surprise, how could friends so quickly become enemies, after all? But the great irony was that not only was the Cold War not a surprise, but both sides knew it was coming. Even when they had been allies. The Cold War was as pure of a war of ideologies as one could get, not a war of armies and weapons, but one of influence and power. The United States sought to align the world with their capitalist economic model while the Soviets put their effort into reinforcing the communist model, this clash of economic ideologies led to a lot of tension, amplified by the fact that if one side was pushed too hard, nukes would follow. That possibility made this war one of the scariest, even though no shots were fired. For as Albert Einstein is often quoted to have said, "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

Also, love your videos Kevin, keep it up!
I don't know what's more insane about the tale of Mathias Rust, that he actually thought his plan would work, or that he got as far as he did. Also, a nuclear bomber that kills a lot of it's pilots and has vodka for coolant is the most Russian thing I've ever heard.
Very much agreed.
I heard about it on the news, and was thinking the exact same thing.
Thank you so much for your support :)
The number of references I've seen to Laika in popular culture (including a sci-fi book or two in which she was actually rescued by aliens) is simultaneously heart-warming and heart-breaking.
Doctor Who has her recieve a burial out in deep space in a beautiful story that is very touching, and, in a different story, get rescued by aliens and come back to earth to invade....
I like the story where Laika is rescued by Atlas and they make friends. I choose to believe this is what really happened, because the truth makes me too sad.
When I was a kid and we just had learned about Laika in school, in Sweden, (I was about 7 or 8) I couldn't sleep for about a month without waking up several times in the middle of the night crying and screaming because I was so sad for her. This was in -97 or -98, and my mother who's a psychologist thought it was *tremendous* that I showed such empathy at such a young age.
@@tessiepinkmanat that age isn't that normal?
@@BJGvideos It probably is, but it wasn't exactly the reaction I wanted when I was crying. I would probably have been happier if she said something to soothe me instead of that it's fantastic that I show such empathy for a dog that died several decades ago.
Btw, I wrote that last bit about the empathy as a joke, even though it did happen, because it's such a psychologist-mother thing to do and people who have a psychologist as a parent (and probably loads of people without any parent doing that work too) will recognize it in some capacity. You obviously didn't recognize it as the joke it was. Sorry 'bout that.
I love how he's able to animate true and pure terror in the speech and visuals of people. None of the screaming sounds fake or overdone but a bit too natural. 8:24 is definetly how I think people would react to somebody getting blown to bits in front of them
I'm a method actor

11:21 Thing is: The Soviets actually topped this too. They gifted the US ambassador to, I think it was the USSR, a gigantic wooden US state sigil. 100% made out of wood. Thought there was a trick in the way it was hollowed out in some places. If you targeted it at a specific wavelength, you could hear what was going on in the room through the vibrations of the wood. That's some really crazy stuff.
In Copenhagen the USSR and US embassies were right next to each other, and the US developed a special technology where they shot a laser on the windows of the other embassy, and measured what was said in the other embassy though the vibrations of the glass as measured by the laser. It was all cool and shit until Denmark discovered the US was using it to spy on Denmark too.
It was made in the god damn 50s
Thing is, the fact that we know what the KGB could do is scary... but the fact we DON'T know what tricks the CIA came up with other than the failures is somehow even scarier.
The guy who made the spying tech was the same guy who created the Theremin
In fact, his name was Leon Theremin.
The sigil itself was nothing unusual but inside of it was a tiny little microphone that could be powered by shining a radio beam on it. This made it almost impossible to find since it only transmitted when that was done and otherwise gave off no signals that coukd be used to fibd it so it took years before it was discovered.
I can't be the only one that finds it hilarious that a single plane piloted by someone with 50 hours of experience total flying an aircraft managed to get further into Russian territory than the German army did.
They weren't expecting a Cessna, or whatever the European equivalent was. Low-flying, slow planes tend to get away with this sorta stupidity.
Well, the Soviets obviously realised a little Cessena couldn't be military, and realised better to leave it and not shoot it down in fear of retaliation.
So yes, your statement is true but the little pilot didnt change history.
Cesena could be a civilian who's lost or needs help, a bf109 is definitely not

Like he said in the video?
Laika was the third dog for that particular mission as far as I’m aware, the first two escaped during training but Laika was docile and calm for a stray coming out of Moscow, and she was put through rushed training due to time crunch.
Yeah, that's the first time I ever hear that, and I've been cosmonaut geek since 5
Docile and calm... wow... poor laika. Laika's good sides ended up being very bad for them

Literally the history field needs content like this. I’m a barber by profession, but I *love* history. I buy almost exclusively history books and watch quality history content nearly every day, but so many clients I have had absolutely shit boring teachers (and tbh curriculum caused some of that). They always say they can’t stand history, then I’ll tell my favorite history stories to them in a lively goofy way cracking jokes and they change their minds. You do some of the best history videos I’ve ever seen. They’re completely unhinged and that makes how thorough and dense they are more fun to absorb. You make history videos that are highly rewatchable. That’s honestly invaluable.
I'm a chef in a similar boat. TH-cam is a blessing. I can't seem to find myself going to a library and reading a history book, but I can watch hours of this sort of stuff
Laika didn't die in space. She did develop superpowers from being bathed in cosmic rays and went off to fight the evil Galactic Empire.

@@_Carizzma_ That is a dangerous question to ask.
Already made a comment but just got to this part. 17:30 My granddad worked for PepsiCo for 25 years, he was with them during the sale of those ships for the scrap value. The sheer volume of Pepsi being imported by the USSR meant that they could simply not keep up to demand with just the vodka export, so PepsiCo used other exports that were available. Since the Rouble is a closed economy, PepsiCo accepted things like apples or decommissioned warships for scrap/sale value. Anything that could be bought and sold was used pay for the Pepsi import.
Imagining if they accidentally sold the one that is still in service
@@justnoob8141 The ships they got were clapped out by Soviet standards... given what the Soviets and later Russians consider seaworthy, I'm impressed they survived the trip to Norway for scrapping... and that they were a profitable source of scrap to begin with... but for a little bit, Pepsi was about the 8th largest navy in the world.
@@Tomyironmanemaybe Pepsi did receive actual working vessels after all. I mean, floating scrap is no different than what their Navy is right now anyways.
@@Tomyironmane At the time the soviets made certain alloys in greater quantity (and with better machining, not that it applies here) that they would be valuable scrap.
The titanium that the USA got for the Blackbird, for example, came from the USSR (fresh ore and plates though). Even the most clapped soviet submarine from the 50s/60s would have had a titanium plating to various degrees, with the Alfa-class (built starting 1958, full production run starting 1967, decommissioned 1974) having full titanium hulls
16:06
That is gloriously terrifying.

The fact that was animated with the body falling smoothly to the ground instead of the usual snap to pose animating makes it all the better.

I love the anecdote about the TU-22 from Paper Skies: the Russian military was dissuaded from finding alternatives to vodka coolant because the air confiding system leaked, so any kind of alteration to the mixture might result in sick pilots. The generals were put in a grounded aircraft with the air conditioning on, and sure enough the cabin was filled with the smell of alcohol.
Apparently one of the ground crew was told to hide a cloth soaked in alcohol inside one of the cooling vents before the test... The AC worked fine. XD
Paper Skies is awesome 👍
The "coke for black neighborhoods" line is pure gold! 😂😊
Underrated line 😂😂😂😂

As a Bulgarian, I'm happy to finally have a reason to complain about mispronounced Bulgarian names. I must say, I'm genuinely impressed about how badly BlueJay managed to mangle them. I wouldn't even have considered Georgi Markov hard to pronounce for an English speaker before now. I don't think Bulgarian even has phonemes that English doesn't. Pretty sure the only way you could get these names wrong is if you never bothered listening to them being spoken or glancing at the IPA transcription. In any case, thanks to BlueJay for the chance to be pedantic on the Internet.
To be fair, English is very different from a phonetical point of view, compared to Bulgarian. E.g. their G's are much softer than ours, as are their R's, and they don't even have a "ж" sound. If anything, I'm just glad Bulgaria is getting talked about - we've got some really cool history :)
@@LinoWalker I mean they do, though. They have both hard 'g' and 'ж'. Just try saying 'argue' or 'pleasure'. What they don't have is the letters for them. It's not like Xhosa or Japanese where some of the sounds just don't exist in the English language and are therefore almost impossible to pronounce or even distinguish while listening, without a lot of practice. Which isn't to say that I actually have any problems with mispronunciations. I'm just happy for my country to be mentioned. I was just making a joke, about how it's seemingly compulsory to bury any video in which a foreign language is used under a pile of comments about pronunciation mistakes and how I'm happy that someone finally used Bulgarian so I could finally do it myself.
Hey, bluejay, if one were to inflict a specific kind of harm to one your plushies, would you feel the pain yourself? Asking out of curiosity

Hang in there, man! 💪
14:27 felt like a punch in the gut, I was absolutely not expecting it 😂😂
Should add that Mathias wasn't allowed in because they thought he was a dumb pilot... but because they thought he was a soviet aircraft. There was even a moment when one radar commander thought he was a search helicopter and had his radar signal marked as friendly. Another thought he was a rookie pilot who forgot to switch over his signal during a training exercise and marked him as friendly.
lol
Hey Bluejay. You’re awesome. Thank you for your time.
Are you a real person?
Maybe I am. Maybe I’m not. You’d never know
@@MrPresident-gt9tc What is real? What is a person? We will never know.
Reality is but an illusion we cloud our feeble minds with so that the infinity of the cosmos does not seem as cold, desolate and unforgiving as it is. Yet, even those who are aware of this macabre mirage continue to live their meaningless lives and do not stop to ponder what would happen if we simply unbraced the inevitable demise of everything and everyone, and feed our matter into the ultimate chain of events that, ultimately, simply ends in death

Downward ejection was not that unusual, even some NATO planes started doing it, like the F-104 for example. It was later changed, due to obvious reasons, but a lot of 104s still had the hatch below the cockpit.
Ah yes, the F-104, the plane notorious for killing more than a hundred pilots in West Germany alone!
The F-104 had a number of glaring safety issues, this was just one of the intentional ones

Yaaaa I agree, that explanation that they debugged the cat and let it live a happy and long life afterwards rings about as closely to “don’t worry little Timmy, Mr. peanuts is fine, he’s just living on a farm with all the other doggies upstate… no you can’t see him.” As you can get.
That cat definitely got fucking splattered sadly
It's probably somewhere in the middle. Likely it didn't end up working and they just euthanized it and went about their business
100%. If that cat lived a long happy life, then I have a cute happy *living* space dog I am willing to sell you.
yeah I dont think this mission happen, its too dumb to be true.. as other said, maybe in between as in I personaly belive they just threw the cat back in a alley and thats it
yep.
You get it!..🙏✨👌😿😢🐲❣️
What a ride, very funny bits throughout. I'm convinced the “cola war” segment stems from a typo, but is interesting, nonetheless. Thanks, BlueJay!
There is one interesting fact about Mathias Rusts flight to Moscow that isn't mentioned. The day whe flew into Soviet Unions territory was May 28. That day was the Border Guards Day there. So probably many of them were quite drunk and could not function well. So not just coincidence he made it to Red Square but also a well picked date.
The silence after putting Bluejay in the jar speaks volumes…

You didn't poke holes in the jar. The bluejay is dead.
A plane with vodka as a coolant, that sounds right. Honestly how neither side didn't accidentally destroy the world is amazing. No one was careful or logical.
It gets worse

The ethanol/water mix was widely used as a coolent in suviet technology.
A coworker of mine was a flight technician in the east german NVA when he served.
He said that all the radio equipment and airplane avionics where cooled ether with staight ethanol or a mix with watter, because it was widely available and perfect for the job.
Non toxic, non corosive, good as anti freze, especially in high-flying jets, and very low in viscosity for very compact heat exchangers.
And very good as a drink when diluted to the right amount! ;)

The thing about project A-119 is that the Soviets ALSO tried to copy that themselves. Apparently they codenamed theirs E-4 and it was also dismissed for the same reasons as the American project.

On the other hand my mother also told me, that Lenin was a good guy, when i asked her about the picture of this goat bearded bald dude on the wall.
Indeed, he was lucky that Soviet air defense was so incompetent/non-functional that day...
Then again considering Russia(before during and after its time as the Soviet Union)'s long history of corruption at basicly every level of every aspect of society, it's honestly shocking the Cold War lasted as long as it did...

Fun fact, my grandfather regularly traveled on KAL 007 for work back in the day, and had made that flight to Korea a couple of weeks before it was shot down.

I love how you casually reference real "behind the scenes" history, and can get away with it through the lens of a joke. You're doing good work.
Downwards ejections are somewhat common, the F-104 Starfighter also had a downwards ejection system for a while, that plane was also nicknamed the widowmaker but not because of the ejection system.
I find it interesting how the Germans decided to use a plane with tiny-ass wings and a reputation for being a flying coffin as the base for their VTOL fighter jet.
I’d think that for a VTOL jet, you’d want a stall speed above Mach 2

For a moment I thought maybe this list might include the insane Pentatomic army model which was intended to literally win the cold war, specifically the ground war of any nuclear exchange utilizing close air support and large bombers with tactical nukes, nuclear howitzers, recoilless rifles and all manner of buttoned up vehicles to fight in a recently nuked battlescape. Beyond just the casual nuclear use, it was also meant to be spread wide out to prevent complete destruction with any return nuclear exchange, assuming that two or three of your five brigades were going to get obliterated causing all manner of command and control issues.
