Do you know what "nemesis" means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent.

Not necessarily true. There were multiple PC desktop speakers with subwoofer. My old Altec Lansing kit had one.

Logitech used to make fancy 2, 2.1, and even 4.1 speaker systems.

Classic doublespeak BS. Sadly not exclusive to the Soviet Union.

For context, WWII in Russia is known as The Great Patriotic War.

Granted the USSR took the lion's share of casualties and Nazi smashing (with Western support) but yeah, they've reduced it to *their * war against the Axis forces.

Next in line is whatever treacherous bastard that manages to wrangle power for himself.

The only thing worse than a bastard like Putin is a smart and competent bastard.

But still, I somehow hope Russia manages to find a path toward a competent and stable democracy somehow.

Nah, typical of Soviet-era trick of "say one thing, mean another" confusion bullshit.

This worked great before. In Command & Conquer: Generals.

Maybe there are way more secrets in making armor with depleted uranium (and certainly other things layered in) than just shaping a shell with it?

That's perfectly normal, pay no mind to them or the plumber van parked day and night on the other side of the road.
