Looking at current events,of course 1938 comes to mind.At that time, Munich city became a symbol of one of the most fateful decisions in history&the greatest diplomatic failure of the 20th century⤵️

It probably IS what a considerable number of Trump supporters voted for!

A Russian poster from the early 1980s, when the USSR was fighting in Afghanistan. The mullahs charge under their banner, which is, of course, the dollar. How things have changed!

The Great Hall at Stokesay castle, Shropshire. This magnificent room was built by Lawrence of Ludlow, a rich wool mercant, in the 13th century
22.06.2025 06:42 — 👍 8 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Trump could not have got away with bombing Iran if the Iranians had been White people. As it is, they, along with the Palestinians, Syrians and others, are only a bunch of n*****s, and therefore fair game
22.06.2025 06:38 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0It was always likely that Trump woud bomb Iran: he was accused of being weak and indecisive, and he couldn't possibly allow that! As it is, he has brilliantly achieved his number one goal, which always is to dominate the world's new headlines.

A classic Shrewsbury view: St Chad's church above the Quarry park: built by George Steuart at the end of the 18th century. It is unusual in having a circular nave.
16.06.2025 16:27 — 👍 8 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Trump is clearly jealous of Putin's ability to stage great parades of military hardware. Meanwhile the contrast with the harmless colourful pageantry of Britain's "Trooping the colour" could hardly be more stark!
