    Everyone knows the real Cold War was between polar bears and penguins. Took a while for them to get to each other and while they were on the way toward each other, a lot of them died. The polar bears met the penguins around Mauritania, Africa and they had quite a fight. Being smaller, the penguins knew they’d need to have more fighters than the polar bears. The polar bears had almost 5,000, and the penguins had around 17,000. Although the penguins had far more fighters, the polar bears were still bigger, stronger, and were beating the penguins like crazy, so the penguins improvised and made cannons, with big barriers all around them. This helped them a lot and started to kill a lot of the polar bears. The penguins then came in with a big B-52 and dropped lots of bombs. The penguins were able to win because of this, but although they started out with around 17,000 fighters, they ended with only about 600. It still goes down as one of the saddest days in animal history. Because of their bravery, we can now have these animals in our zoos because their war was settled and we no longer have to fear that the penguins will try to kill the polar bears or vice versa. Some zoo keepers though are still afraid that the polar bears will want to get back at the penguins. There are also some who have said that four penguins escaped, went to Madagascar by plane, then went to Africa, and then they stopped an evil octopus from making all penguins bad.

      Yeah, it was one of the saddest days in history. My history teacher tried to cover it up and say it never happened. She even went as far as to say I was “crazy for actually thinking that” and that I “needed to go to a psych ward”. But I won’t let their fight be forgotten. The lives that were lost so Santa’s elves could have freedom and the penguins could also have magic to be able to fly a sleigh. The penguins got to once when Santa landed in Madagascar and a lion, hippo, giraffe, and zebra had to take Santa’s place and deliver presents. That was all the penguins wanted.

    *Life* *Fact:* When my Pops was in his early-20s in 1974-5, he received his draft into the Vietnam War. But then the next day, word spread that the war had officially ended, basically saving his own life. He says he is grateful he didn't go, cause he was afraid he wouldn't have survived out there.
    And this is why when I was growing up in the 2000s, he'd *_forbidden_* me from enlisting into the Army, cause he didn't want me to die in a war thousands of miles away from home. He'd even threatened to shoot me himself if I enlisted.

I'd go back again if I could. did a lot of good for people's rights in the districts I was in. no way to see if it stuck after I left, but we changed ideals for a lot of people when we finally got through to them we weren't there to pillage like the soviets did. the ones that kept fighting us were all foreign Pakistani taliban fighters the local villages wanted outsted

    1:36 Thats way better, however I think Cuba should be red and south africa blue.

    You did a really awesome job at this video, it was great.

    • @Theocook1
      @Theocook1 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +The Hunt for Red October Actually North Korea was set up by the Soviet Union, and the reason for the collapse of NK's economy in the 1990s was because they no longer had the Soviets bankrolling them. As for Cuba, it was an American ally until July 1959, and that map is dated to 1959, so presumably he was just showing how things were immediately prior to the revolution. Also South Africa wasn't aligned to either side, so he is right to show them as neutral.

    • @Dave451996
      @Dave451996 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Theocook1 North Korea was and is a dictatorship, it was no "soviet republic", but socialist, just as for example East Germany. Only the members of the former Soviet Union were called soviet republics, not it´s allies.
      Okay, I agree on Cuba :)
      South Africa was especially because of its strict race distinction seen as an bastion against communism in africa, so the West clearly supported or at least tolerated its crimes.

    • @Theocook1
      @Theocook1 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Just taken another look at the map you were referring to with regard to North Korea. It's dated to 1945, at which point North Korea was not independent but under the occupation of the Soviet Army. That's why it's shown as part of the Soviet Union I think. As for South Africa, the west might have tolerated them due to the National Party's opposition to Communism, but I doubt they'd have ever referred to them as allies.

    • @Dave451996
      @Dave451996 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Theocook1 Okay, North Korea was under occupation, therefore in my perception not part of the SU itself. Otherwise: Why is for example Japan not marked blue on the map? Nobody is perfect, this is no critique on the video, its just a detail we argue about, but still: This is not 100% coorect.
      Actually I don´t want to search for articles online just to give you a source, however I´m very sure to have heard that South Africa was this "bastion against communism". Maybe not an "ally", but clearly a power the US felt pleasant about.

    • @tomislavsekovanic129
      @tomislavsekovanic129 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yugoslavia was under soviet command until 1948, when Tito said "NO" to Stalin about his takeover of Yugoslavia. After 1948 Yugoslavia was left by Soviets. So this map at 0:50 is correct because it is the year 1946.

      And all the bigger countries have already aligned themselves with either the US or Russia.
      There is absolutely no way we are getting to the bottom of it.
      That is the problem, you really can't hold either of them accountable.

      Arie Djati also the B-59 submarine incident. Another close call on potential nuclear WWIII.

    Good work! I was slightly surprised that the economic role of the Chernobyl NPP disaster of April 1986 wasn't mentioned. That single event cost the USSR approximately 18 billion rubles (which were at parity with the US dollar), and the "fallout," no pun intended, could be argued as one of the causes of the collapse of the Union. Not trying to start a fight or debate here, I just find the timing of the disaster, against everything else happening at the time, to be fascinating.

      I don't think so ...find me a quote where Reagan assert that he bested the USSR ? Go on -I'll wait . USSR simply ended by series of internal problems caused by Mikhail relaxation of the totalitarianism program that kept the USSR glued ...The USA was simply a belligerent bystander .

      Ussr didn't lose at all. There was a draw becouse nobody wanted for the world to end. Just becouse ussr failed to stay one after the war. Doesn't mean us won. Ussr ended after the cold war.
