So, how goes with Fall Weiß this morning? Have we reached the Vistula yet?

Because they're more afraid of *internal* consequences than *external*.

I want y'all to think on that equation for a little bit.

I dunno- the Shaheds were about the only consistently "successful" munition available to Russian forces, and now they're going to be held back for domestic consumption. Yes, he loves chaos, but chaos which HE orchestrates and controls, and he's just along for the ride on this one.

Apparently they were from the 4th FW at Seymour-Johnson; heard at least one was from 335 Sqn.

That's their worst day for ground fire losses since 6 June 1944.

You should reframe this.

Based Thomas Massie® is agreeing with YOU now. You didn't change, he did. And for the better, I might add... at least for now, anyways.

Still not sure how much I trust Based Thomas Massie® but I'mma let him cook for now

And whatever admiration I may have had for Churchill vanished like smoke after reading how he rolled over for Stalin and expelled all Polish forces within 48 hours after the war, and would not even let them participate in victory parades. Fuck that guy, seriously.

And proper gentleman that he was, he did not lay blame (although he damn sure should have)- he died reviled as an "appeaser", and his reputation has suffered the slings and arrows of unchecked hatred and lies for DECADES as you note. Churchill got the credit for the groundwork laid by Chamberlain.

Calum Douglas is, from a historian's perspective, a GOD AMONG MEN for his masterwork "The Secret Horsepower Race" as well as his commentary on Twitter- it was through him that I learned of Chamberlain's efforts in 1934/35 to secure proper defense funding when he was firmly rebuffed

That fuckstick is already working on tearing it down himself, so I don't think this would have any impact on him.

There's some property in Florida, though... and around the world, which contributes to his income, which is the only thing he cares about

Credit where due to the Italian naval architects, that was a VERY handsome ship. Can't speak to her effectiveness whatsoever, but it was a beautiful, well balanced and elegant design.

Very reminiscent of work by Kehinde Wiley - it's a beautiful piece!

The absolute best books I have *EVER* read on the lead-up to and aftermath of WW1 have come from Margaret MacMillan ("The War That Ended Peace" and "Paris 1919"). Incredibly thorough yet also written in a very accessible manner - I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Royce Williams - Wikipedia

It's reminiscent of how MoHs were handed out in the Civil War.

On the plus side, Royce Williams finally got his long, long, LONG overdue (and fully deserved) MoH.

I am immediately intrigued by this... I would absolutely try it. Did the cucumbers add anything flavor-wise to it, or were they just garnish?

I can deal with onion rings, and actually enjoy onion powder - it's not so much the flavor as it is the texture and sharpness of raw onions. To each their own, but I'll sit out the "raw onion" round, thanks 😂

Something is very wrong with those peoples' medulla oblongata.

Mango lassi and mango kulfi are some of the most amazing foods found on this earth.
