YouTube video by The Great War A German Soldier in WW1: Diary and Photos from 1914-1918 (Documentary)

We splashed out on this special video about one German officer based on his diary and private photos: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Dt8...

Let's hope so. I'm not encouraged by the statements of RN, AfD or Reform -- all of whom may be governing their respective countries in the next few years.

Presuming European countries are governed by parties who want to help Ukraine and defend themselves. Sadly not a guarantee.

Haha, ça serait quand même un peu trop! Juste un espoir sur papier. Mais un beau geste de la part d'un Américain qui ne connassais pas la LFC avant notre cours.

Best end of semester student gift ever!

Page from an Italian colonial census record for a butcher from Venice living in Asmara

Asked by the 1905 census carried out in Eritrea what language he habitually spoke, this hero said 'Veneto dialect'

(but confessed he spoke a little Italian as a secondary language 'un pocco di italiano'

Also enjoying his religious faith: 'God without priests '

"God has given the American people. A great country It's not perfect. But it is truly great. By the grace of God, and if you don't think God gave this country to us. I could care less Fact is, it's ours, and it was given to us by GOD"

I've seen some assess the US NSS as a return to its pre-1941 isolationism. I don't see it that way, as it explicitly calls for deep engagement in European politics. If Washington follows the document's strategy, it will be more involved in Europe, not less.

Russia promises not to attack any EU country. It also claims that it never attacked Ukraine. It claims that it never attacked anyone, only ever defended itself. Warsaw and Vladivostok just happened to become parts of a Russian empire defending itself.

Canada, up until the post-war shift to the US sphere, was a vital component of European security, and there are European graveyards that prove it. We should be in on this, not just as supporters but participants.

Wow.
This says *everything* about the German defence debate, really.

For YEARS experts have fretted over public opinion on defence spending and how it would be impossible to justify spending over 1 or 2%. Turns out 35% (!!!!) of Germans think we’re already spending OVER 5 % of GDP. WTH.

Never start a pelican war in Asia.

It is my opinion that people should focus more on
"How do we get through the next five years?"

and less on

"If only it was 2015 again!“

it's wild how the positive use cases are like "save 5 minutes reading a long doc" and "write a generic email faster" and the negative use cases are "get encouraged to dive deeper in psychosis, misogyny, or suicidal thoughts" and we're still on the fence about overall value

"This video [about the 1945 Battle of Berlin] only describing spesific 2 side, germany and soviets and their war crime and its brutallity but iwant to know, is there any video created by this channel wich also describing US and european crime ?"

One might argue that international relations will be poisoned for decades anyway, given Russia's foreign policy, China's goals, and the US new direction.
