  1. RE: dice.camp/@PSchweig86/11712246

    Still hoping to hear from anyone on this subject, but so far the impenetrable Iron Curtain has not yielded any #WarsawPact Cold War tabletop #wargaming exercise intelligence….

    May comment further in a future #HobbyGamesRecce blog post.

  2. I’m curious if anyone, especially in former communist European countries, recalls #WarsawPact institutions ever using #wargames to explore a possible invasion of West Germany? #WestEndGames classics like Air & Armor and Air Cav come to mind, though I know other titles exist in this genre.

  3. It doesnt have to be that way, @ChrisMayLA6.

    In the 1970s & 1980s the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (#CSCE) in Europe did hugely effective work on reducing tension and building co-operation between #NATO and the #WarsawPact.

    It's successor the #OSCE should have been the bedrock of European security after the Cold War. But instead, NATO fought hard to endure that military confrontation won.

  4. Prague commemorates the 1968 Soviet-led occupation of Czechoslovakia.

    Video. The Czech Republic marked the anniversary of the 1968 Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia on Thursday with memorial events in Prague and across the country.

  6. Belarusian dictator Lukashenko signed law suspending #Belarus’s involvement in the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in #Europe. It was designed to establish limits on arms & equipment in #NATO & #WarsawPact countries

    The #CFE Treaty was negotiated between NATO and Warsaw Pact countries at the end of the Cold War

    Treaty was signed in Paris in Nov 1990 & was initially agreed upon by 16 NATO members and six countries of the former Warsaw Pact

    🔴 This was the last time two #US presidential candidates had a civilised debate, and the year was 2008 - 16 years ago

    #putin, #russia, and #Ukraine were discussed by then Senators Barack #Obama and #JohnMcCain during their 2008 presidential debate

    📝 Important to note how right #JohnMcCain was on #russia, #Ukraine, and all the other #WarsawPact countries - he seriously nailed it

    It's been 30 years since the demise of dictator #Tito's Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY), commonly referred to as SFR #Yugoslavia.
    31 years since the end of the #ColdWar, the #WarsawPact, and the #USSR.

    By invading #Ukraine since 2014, #Putler wants to turn back time and even twist history

    Ever since #SveinaldIngvarsson became
    #Sviatoslav The Brave* in the 10th century, Grand Prince of #Kiew, what is now present-day #Ukraine...

    Enough flirting with Russia!
    Hungary should have been kicked out of Nato, this country wish they were back in The Warsaw Pact era.

    I can only begin to fathom your despair about the loss of lives, of livelihood, and of your culture.

    Most people whose countries were lucky enough not to be forced into the #WarsawPact by the #SovietUnion had probably never heard of the #Holodomor the #Soviets instrumentalized to kill millions of #Ukrainians 90 years ago. And now they are trying to do it again, maybe even on a worse scope.

    But as you portray very well, not...

  11. The new Warsaw Pact, February 3, 2023, Timothy Less. Poland is taking on a leadership role in Europe. The combination of Russian threats, western European passivity and Anglo-American support has paved the way for an eastern regional alliance. #WarsawPact #Poland #United States #UK #Germany #France #EU #Russia #WWI #intermarium engelsbergideas.com/essays/the
