Women were not deployed in front line combat roles in WW2 other than for the Soviet Union and resistance fighters, these are the facts. Having a disabled British female soldier in the game is just embarrassing pandering to SJWs, and looks to be working judging from the likes of OP relishing the "outrage". While this is a very, very stupid decision from a historical accuracy perspective, it was a fantastic choice from a marketing perspective. Your average brain dead Kotaku or Polygon reader wouldn't have known BFV existed were it not for this, and they'll probably view buying the game as some kind of duty to prove they are an ally of SJW garbage.

Only a bunch of 'looks to me like' conjecture from partial sources concerning disparate data, and also a lot of ham-fisted manipulative wording:
 
"Is there linkage between the DNC and Podesta hacks and the 2014 State Department hacks that were also believed to be carried out by Russia?
Yeah, these are being conducted by the same groups. We know that from the IOCs—by looking at the tools they use and the infrastructure they use."
 
Well, the question is loaded:
"Is there linkage between the DNC and Podesta hacks and the 2014 State Department hacks that were also believed to be carried out by Russia?"
 
And, the answer is a non-sequitur:
"Yeah,"... "We know that from the IOCs"
 
That defies the definition of "knowing," and is instead an inference, a conjecture, a hypothesis. And believing that it means "Yeah" is an opinion. Saying "we know" is a misrepresentation, a falsehood, a deception.
 
Also, are we to believe that those who make these assertions, these sophisticated and supposedly-intelligent people and groups with in-depth familiarity of their industry and tactics, don't realize that if someone was wanting to make an infiltration look like someone else, that they'd use the same methods and tools as whoever they want it to look like? And, also that those who can identify what those methods and tools look like also know what they are, and can use them, themselves?
 
Basically, the quoted assertion amounts to: A car has been stolen. I know somebody who drives a car. Therefore, they stole the car.

X-230 right? I have them too

No, such claim is a semi-popular myth, which has served as propaganda towards the modern events in Crimea. The Crimean Tatars expelled from Crimea in WW2, for allegedly colluding with the Nazis, were only 230,000 in number, out of a total Crimean population of 1,126,429, of which 558,481 were ethnic Russians. The idea that Crimea's demographics were artificially swayed in any way during or after WW2 in favour of Russia is somebody's propaganda, because...
 
... Russians were already the predominant people of the region.
 
 
 
It sounds like you've misinterpreted this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimean_sovereignty_referendum,_1991
Crimea, as a region, voted to leave Ukraine, and to rejoin the USSR as an autonomous republic, with 94.3% of Crimea's population in favour. Of course, what ended up happening, as a concession, is that Crimea became an autonomous republic within Ukraine, while still wanting to rejoin the USSR (which was dissolved in December of 1991).
 
No, Crimea's history with the USSR does not center around the forced migration of a demographic minority during WW2, who were, allegedly, expelled due to Nazi associations at a time when the USSR, and much of Europe, were fighting the Nazis.
 
An emphatic, sentiment-based dismissal, starting with the all-authoritative "everyone knows"... is typically an indicator that a person expressing such doesn't have any knowledge concerning what they're next going to say. It's also called an "appeal to authority" (in lieu of having anything credible to say), and is known as a logical fallacy.

Mateus Piskorkski, the leader of the European observers’ mission and Polish MP: “Our observers have not registered any violations of voting rules.” 
 
Ewald Stadler, member of the European Parliament, dispelled the “referendum at gunpoint” myth: “I haven’t seen anything even resembling pressure… People themselves want to have their say.” 
 
Pavel Chernev: Bulgarian member of parliament: “Organization and procedures are 100 percent in line with the European standards.”
 
Johann Gudenus, member of the Vienna Municipal Council: “Our opinion is – if people want to decide their future, they should have the right to do that and the international community should respect that. There is a goal of people in Crimea to vote about their own future. Of course, Kiev is not happy about that, but still they have to accept and to respect the vote of people in Crimea.”
 
Serbian observer Milenko Baborats “People freely expressed their will in the most democratic way, wherever we were… During the day we didn’t see a single serious violation of legitimacy of the process.” 
 
Srdja Trifkovic, prominent and observer from Serbia: “The presence of troops on the streets is virtually non-existent and the only thing resembling any such thing is the unarmed middle-aged Cossacks who are positioned outside the parliament building in Simferopol. But if you look at the people both at the voting stations and in the streets, like on Yalta’s sea front yesterday afternoon, frankly I think you would feel more tense in south Chicago or in New York’s Harlem than anywhere round here.”
 
I'm sure you can understand that it is a good habit to read a post that you intend to respond to, before responding to it. And if you had done that, you would have known that not only did I include linkage to years of pre-referendum polling, but I also said that there was years of pre-referendum polling included in the links.
 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimean_status_referendum,_2014#Polling
 
UN polling of Crimeans in 2011 on whether they want to rejoin Russia: 65.6% in favour of rejoining Russia
 
Polling by the Razumkov Centre in 2008 found that 63.8% of Crimeans (76% of Russians, 55% of Ukrainians, and 14% of Crimean Tatars, respectively) would like Crimea to secede from Ukraine and join Russia...
 
 A poll conducted by the GfK Group on 12–14 March 2014 with 600 respondents found that 70.6% of Crimeans intended to vote for joining Russia, 10.8% for restoring the 1992 constitution and 5.6% did not intend to take part in the referendum
 
 A poll conducted by the Crimean Institute of Political and Social Research on 8–10 March 2014 found that 77% of respondents planned to vote for "reunification with Russia"
 
 
Also, your argument, which is, of course, sentiment-based rhetoric, and a fallacy, would invalidate every vote conducted in Afghanistan since 2001, and every vote conducted in Iraq since 2003. But the 2014 Crimean referendum outcome is consistent with the historically-longstanding self-stated views and goals of the Crimean people, and was in keeping of the international-law pillar of right to self-determination of a peoples, and the UN's own charter, which protects that right of a people. What wasn't protected by that right, however, was the overthrow of former-Ukraine's government, which didn't have the backing of the former-Ukrainian people, as notable by Crimea's secession, and East Ukraine's continued resistance to the new West Ukrainian government.
 
I made sure to stay away from Russian sources, and I didn't post hearsay, but only directly-confirmed historical information, and the only recorded history of the events that I referenced. That you don't like it, or that it invalidates what you've said doesn't render it "pro-Russian drivel". But claiming such renders what you've said to be irresponsible fiction.
 
That would have to be the one where 94.3% of Crimeans voted to leave Ukraine, and to become an autonomous region and subject of the USSR, and the one which effectively disproves your argument, and proves the opposite of your argument.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimean_sovereignty_referendum,_1991
 
It is Ukraine that wanted separation from the USSR. Crimea, declaring itself independent from Ukraine, wanted separation from Ukraine, and to continue being a part of USSR.
 
Also, I didn't conflate ethnicity with preference of government, I actually provided polls to show that the Crimean preference of being a part of the USSR or Russia is greater than the total ethnic Russian population of Crimea.
 
No. West Ukraine is a hotspot for neo-Nazism, and might well be the most neo-Nazi place on Earth. And that is one of the reasons why East Ukraine and Crimea don’t like being associated with West Ukraine. And yes, it’s also a major criticism that Russia's government has of West Ukraine.

The typical willful omission and avoidance of details which make challenge and sully Western government positions is a staple-piece of Western propaganda. And, for some reason, perhaps gross naivety, many people in Western countries take the absence of being presented those details by their national news sources to mean that they aren't being reported upon because they aren't real. That's a very big assumption to make, and one which the sources of said propaganda rely upon. The people who make such assumptions are not any different than North Korean citizens who believe whatever their government tells them.
 
 
Your verbose post appears to me to be made up of lots of quickly-debunked false information, and mental gymnastics, being essentially the recitation of propaganda, with some new ideas of your own thrown in, all of which serves to be propaganda. If you've ever wondered what the perspective and sentiments are like from within the centre of an environment of thick propaganda, well, they're just as you're experiencing.

Well, you have misinterpreted the 1991 Crimean referendum I linked you two. A part of the 1991 Crimean sovereignty referendum included the measure that Crimea would become a subject of the USSR, and 94.3% of Crimea voted in favour of it. Crimea voted for independence from Ukraine, not the USSR, or Russia. Later, Ukraine as a whole held a referendum to leave the USSR, as the USSR was dissolving.
 
Crimea had two referendums in 1991. The first one, January 20, 1991, to reform Crimea as the ASSR, an independent republic, and subject of the USSR, passed with 94.3% in favour:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimean_sovereignty_referendum,_1991
 
Crimea was given autonomous region status within Ukraine afterwards.
 
The second one, December 1st, 1991, regarding Ukraine becoming independent from the USSR, as the USSR was dissolving, passed 92.3% in favour:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_independence_referendum,_1991
 
 
 
I'll repost these links so that the full record is here, showing that Crimea has sought to rejoin Russia since they became an independent region in Ukraine:

The Guardian: Crimea goes to the polls with landslide expected for union with Russia
Bloomberg: One Year Later, Crimeans Prefer Russia

GfK conducted a Crimean survey between January 16 and 22, 2015, and the survey found that 82% of Crimeans "fully endorse" Crimea's secession from Ukraine and joining the Russian federation, and that 11% of Crimeans "mostly endorse" Crimea's secession from Ukraine and joining the Russian federation
 
Another survey was commissioned by John O’Loughlin, College Professor of Distinction and Professor of Geography at the University of Colorado in Boulder, and Gerard Toal, Professor of Government and International Affairs at Virginia Tech’s National Capital Region campus. It was conducted during December 2014 the survey showed showed "widespread support for Crimea’s decision to secede from Ukraine and join the Russian Federation."

The polling history of Crimea's interest in rejoining Russia is clear, consistent, and without any outlier: Rejoining Russia was the authentic democratic will of the Crimean people. Which means that the West-nation narrative concerning the 2014 Crimean referendum is fiction, and propaganda. And you're being a willing propagandist, and not respecting the Crimean people's own wishes concerning their own lives and region.
 
Again, you're using a logical fallacy, ad hominem, to back up your previous logical fallacy
 
Again, logical fallacy.
 
According to who? Some disgruntled online poster, like yourself, who obfuscates matters they don't understand and don't like the sound of? Also, the quotes are of EU MPs, and other European politicians, not of a news site's opinions.
 
LA Times, NY Times, Bloomberg, The Guardian, Huffington Post, Jerusalem Post... apparently everything is Russian propaganda to you, if it doesn't conform to your own personal propaganda. The things I've referenced are not opinion pieces, they are the only existing record of events.
 
You haven't addressed any of the content of the articles I linked to, or any of the content of my posts. You're throwing out misdirection after misdirection, trying to cover the great amount of ignorance and incompetence of your original post, which I picked apart comprehensively with substantiated historical record. Your claim of thinking you cannot reason here is merely a smokescreen for the fact that you aren't capable to discuss the facts of this subject, because you don't know them.
 
The majority of your response comes across to me as semi-incoherent deluded and emotional blathering. I think that you clearly have nothing accurate to present, and so you're just rambling.
 
Invading actually means something, something which Russia did not do in regards to Crimea or Ukraine. But I understand that meaning can get in the way of effective rambling. There were Russian troops present during the 2014 Crimean referendum, but Russia has their Black Sea military base on the Crimea peninsula, and were legally allowed to have up to 25,000 troops on the Crimean peninsula, in an agreement with former-Ukraine. There was no invasion from Russia, and, as international observers who attended the 2014 Crimean referendum attested, there was scarcely any, or no sign of military presence during the referendum vote.
 
 
 
 
Not entirely related to any of the previous discussion, but... Georgian Saakashvili quits as Ukraine Odessa governor: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-37895588
 
Mikheil Saakashvili, former Georgrian president, and the madman who invaded South Ossetia and started killing its civilians populations in an attempt to force the region to submit to the control of the Georgian state, is now living in West Ukraine, while his Georgian citizenship has been revoked by the Georgian government, and a Georgian arrest warrant has been issued against him for charges of embezzlement and abuse of power.
 
In West Ukraine, Saakashvili had been named governor of the Odessa port by Petro Poroshenko, an Oligarch and the current president of West Ukraine, who also was one of the Maiden coup organizers. 
 
Since then, the Georgian government has received leaked tapes that record Mikheil Saakashvili talking to people of his former Georgian political party, and calling for a violent coup effort in Georgia. In the leaked tapes, Saakashvili calls for hiring 1,500 to 2,000 militants, and have them entrench themselves in a building that hosts a propaganda radio station, with provisions to last for weeks, and weaponry to defend it from any attempted eviction.
From the recording:

“To hell with the profit… It’s an ordinary revolution, war. You have to go for the revolution here, call on the people for defense. You have to fortify, build barricades, right, exactly barricades. Just seal yourselves off. Stockpile water and stuff and go for a weeks-long standoff,” he said, adding it would be fine if the conflict turned violent and even involved shootouts.
 
Saakashvili's plan for Georgia mirrors the tactic used in West Ukraine to instigate its coup. It seems that Saakashvili and Poroshenko are birds of a feather. Violent, manipulative, murderous, government-stealing birds.

The FX-9590 is only marginaly better than the FX-6300 when it comes to gaming and certainly not worth the upgrade.

AM3+ and Upgradability should not be used in the same sentence.
