Hell Yeah Motherfucker :deng-cowboy:
The Battle of Moscow was a military campaign that consisted of two periods of strategically significant fighting on a 600 km (370 mi) sector of the Eastern Front during World War II. It took place between October 1941 and January 1942. The Soviet defensive effort frustrated Hitler's attack on Moscow, the capital and largest city of the Soviet Union. Moscow was one of the primary military and political objectives for Axis forces in their invasion of the Soviet Union.
The German strategic offensive, named Operation Typhoon, called for two pincer offensives, one to the north of Moscow against the Kalinin Front by the 3rd and 4th Panzer Armies, simultaneously severing the Moscow–Leningrad railway, and another to the south of Moscow Oblast against the Western Front south of Tula, by the 2nd Panzer Army, while the 4th Army advanced directly towards Moscow from the west.
Initially, the Soviet forces conducted a strategic defence of the Moscow Oblast by constructing three defensive belts, deploying newly raised reserve armies, and bringing troops from the Siberian and Far Eastern Military Districts. As the German offensives were halted, a Soviet strategic counter-offensive and smaller-scale offensive operations forced the German armies back to the positions around the cities of Oryol, Vyazma and Vitebsk, and nearly surrounded three German armies. It was a major setback for the Germans, and the end of their belief in a swift German victory over the USSR. As a result of the failed offensive, Field Marshal Walther von Brauchitsch was dismissed as supreme commander of the German Army, with Hitler replacing him in the position.

I don't want to be rude to people having problems here, but I think it comes off as kinda unfair when people diss the site so much for arguments. Like have you ever been on other sites? Even the transphobia problem, while bad, was mostly just a bunch of douches finding it "annoying", while the worst arguments on Reddit would be some asshole straight up coming out and saying that they want to kill all the trans people.
The very worst of this site that deserved to be purged off was still miles better than the shit I've seen on Twitter/Facebook/Reddit/Discord and other social media. Even this VCJ thing was mostly a bunch of passive aggressive arguments and people going "actually I'm less racist than you!" instead of the type of things you get elsewhere the competition is to actually be as hateful as possible instead. A reddit argument is a competition to get as close to the n-word as possible, a Hexbear argument is grunting and calling the other person a lib in disguise.
