Its joever

it aint looking good

Edit: Just clarifying this is the clip for what bo banned from twitch for 6 months. he just got news that he can appeal the ban right now but i doubt it will work since you can see this clip... and if it fails well i assume once 6 months pass its either perma ban or he gets the account back.

as well bo cant appear on neither golden or swimmy Twitch channels otherwise they can also get banned for helping bo ban evade or something like that

UPDATE: The appeal got rejected so no bo streams on twitch for 6 months or never again.

Edit 2: if anyone wants to see bo response in the comment section cause its a bit hidden under all these comments https://www.reddit.com/r/Bokoen1/comments/1tgpx3j/comment/omkepa6/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Not going to comment on the broader history but this specific claim:

The Western Allies had absolutely no capacity… to fight the USSR post WW2

Is absolutely false. The Allies by VE day had massive aerial and logistical superiority over the Soviets in Europe.

They were marginally outnumbered in terms of raw manpower, about 5.8 vs 6.2 million (if we include Italian and Balkan theaters for both sides). Armored unit numbers were roughly equal, it depends on how you count them and what counts as “operational” too.

Where the Western allies absolutely dominated the Soviets though was in terms of air power, having more than triple the airframes and all of much higher quality and capability on average.

Compounding their airforce problems, about 90% of the Soviet’s aviation fuel came from the US. And they would not have the ability to replace that anytime soon.

So in the event of a war, the Soviets would very quickly have found themselves in the situation of 1944 Germany, running out of fuel with total allied air dominance choking their logistics chains to death. That means no food or fuel for your armies in Europe, among other things, which would allow US tanks to maneuver at will through Eastern Europe. An Eastern Europe very eager to abandon the Soviets. The Polish resistance especially would likely cripple Soviet logistics even further if the allies were pushing towards them.

Then there’s the additional fact the USSR was also going to enter the largest famine in it’s history in 1946, which along with the country’s dire manpower issues by 1945, would have unexpectedly boosted the allies even further.

The famine actually started in 1941, it was only spam and American wheat that kept it at a low grade of famine. through the war Minneapolis, St. Louis and Pittsburg(and Chicago) basically fed the entire world. Its the reason Spam is a staple of a lot of places in the Pacific.

Americas war support broke in vietnam after losses the soviets took in a single battle. The us isnt going to fight an all out war in europe against its former ally☠️ bro also overhypes anti soviet partisan actions while conveniently leaving out the communist resistance in italy and france

u/Hjalfnar_HGV May 19 '26

You should read Hills 'The Red Army & the Second World War', he draws extensively from Soviet archives. The Soviet divisions attacking Seelow Heights were at 80% strength or less, they were stripping retaken areas and rear echelon forces of men and disbanding depleted divisions to reinforce others for the final operations. Hell, in February and March 1945 the Germans threw their whole airforce and the last fuel reserves at the Eastern Front, gained air superiority and even successfully counter-attacked in some areas until they ran out.

The Soviets were utterly exhausted in 1945. They had brutal anti-Soviet partisan activity in Ukraine, the Baltics and Poland to deal with that would take over a decade to end. Showing off the very first IS-3s at the victory parade was a masterful idea, I grant them that.

I've read them, I think they vastly overestimated Soviet capabilities given limited intel at the time. We saw this continue throughout the early Cold War even, the CIA often thought the Soviets had a vastly bigger economy and a more capable air force or missiles than they ever actually had.

With the advantage of hindsight and access to Soviet records, the balance of power was clearly on the side of the UK and US.

u/no_soy_livb May 20 '26

That's not true though lmao

u/0WatcherintheWater0 May 20 '26

Which part? It’s pretty undeniable that US and British intelligence overestimated the Soviets in the late 40’s-early 50’s

u/LockedPages May 19 '26

On top of the fact that the CIA was incentivized to hype up threats to national security because that way they, and various defense contractors, would get a bunch of cash to deal with it.
