We leaped ahead decades thanks to COVID-19
Nothing like scaring the bejeezum out of people while frightening everyone over the fake Coronavirus and the new normal. We weren’t scheduled to be at this point until 2030. The virus is the perfect vehicle to force the world into a new way of thinking and push forward into replacing humans in the world with Artificial Intelligence. . . Notice how many times and ways robots are now being utilized under the guise of “healthcare” assistance. –Uriel–

Why Italy's World War II Tanks Never Impressed As They Got Bigger
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* Throughout the 1940s, Italy's WWII tanks became bigger and better, but never spectacular. Although it suffered, like all combatants, from the costly stalemate and horrendous casualties of trench warfare during World War I, Italy never used tanks during that conflict. The mountainous terrain that dominated the front along which Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire fought each other was unsuited for such vehicles, and none saw action during the war in the Italian theater. Nevertheless, the use of this military innovation on the Western ... more »

A great victory had just been won at Five Forks by Federal forces under Maj. Gen. Phil Sheridan. To Porter it seemed like “... more »
