Trump Has Allies Abroad-- Mostly From Enemies Of Democracy
DownWithTyranny, DownWithTyranny! - 3 minutes ago
Trump isn't generally admired around the world. In fact, he appears to be the most unliked American president in any of our lifetimes-- both by ordinary citizens and by most democratic governments. Just 6% of Danes, for example, want him to win reelection. With a still active fascist movement, Italians are the only people in Western Europe who back Trump with any strength at all-- and it's just 20%. Fascist governments in Hungary, Russia, Israel and Brazil, one the other hand, all think Trump is swell. In fact, the *Milwaukee Journal Sentinel* covered an Eric Trump COVID-spread...

*Washington Post:* *White House was warned Giuliani was target of Russian intelligence operation to feed misinformation to Trump * WASHINGTON — U.S. intelligence agencies warned the White House last year that President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani was the target of an influence operation by Russian intelligence, according to four former officials familiar with the matter. The warnings were based on multiple sources, including intercepted communications, that showed Giuliani was interacting with people tied to Russian intelligence during a December 2019 trip to Uk...

EU Warning Turkey That Sanctions Will Be Imposed Over Its Actions In Eastern Mediterranean And Cyprus

*Reuters: **France and Germany tell Turkey to stop provocations * PARIS (Reuters) - France and Germany accused Turkey on Thursday of continuing to provoke the European Union with its actions in the eastern Mediterranean, and urged it to clarify its positions in the coming weeks. Despite an EU summit deal on Oct. 2 aimed at persuading Ankara to stop exploring for natural gas in waters disputed by Greece and Cyprus, Turkey said on Wednesday it was restarting operations of a survey ship. Turkey withdrew the vessel last month, just before the EU summit, at which economic sanctions ...
World War II: A View of the Battlefield from the Inside a Sherman tank
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* From North Africa to Sicily to Normandy to the heart of Germany, bow gunner Irving Bromberg fought the war in a Sherman tank. Private First Class Irving Bromberg saw a huge puff of smoke erupt from the German tank’s cannon muzzle as it headed straight for his M4 Sherman tank. The round streaked past and missed. Bromberg sat next to the driver in the bow gunner’s seat manning a .30-caliber machine gun. His turret gunner fired the tank’s 75mm cannon, also missing, but the American cannon had an advantage: an automatic breech-loader. The ...
Sleep in the Military During WWII: Not Dead, Just Dead Tired
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* GIs in Europe used every opportunity to shut their eyes and get the sleep they needed to fight—even for just a minute. *Key Point*: "Fatigue makes cowards of us all." One of the most precious resources in war, and the one most often in short supply, is sleep. Physical exhaustion, combined with the strain of combat, wears even the most young, physically fit men down. Advancing or retreating, bivouacked on the front lines or a bit to the rear, sleep, with all its recuperative qualities, is scarce. During World War II, enemy snipers, arti...
This Battle Guaranteed France Would Be Conquered by Hitler
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* The German concept of mobile warfare was conclusively proven when the Wehrmacht breached the French defenses at Sedan in May 1940. The attack was beginning despite the widespread lack of artillery support, engineers, or armor. Normally this would be a recipe for disaster. Clusters of gray-clad German infantrymen braved the torrent of enemy fire, carrying assault boats right up to edge of the Meuse River. On the opposite bank, French soldiers crouched in their bunkers and trenches as German aircraft roared overhead, bombing and strafing,...

Hellish Battle in a Tropical Paradise: The Fight for Eniwetok Atoll
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Asia* While not as well known as some of the bigger battles fought for Pacific islands during World War II, the 1944 battle for Eniwetok Atoll was every bit as brutal. *Key Point*: The battle for the small islands of the Kwajalein and Eniwetok Atolls would pay huge dividends as the war in the Pacific Theater continued. “But here are men who fought in gallant actions, as gallant AS ever hero’s fought,” wrote the poet Lord Byron (1788-1824). These words apply equally well to many battles fought after the poet’s death, none more so than the conqu...
The Rigveda on Language and Pronunciation
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 1 hour ago
The importance of pronouncing words in the right way and using grammatically correct language is emphasized in several verses of the *Rigveda*. The Vedic sages insist that while reciting the hymns if correct language is not used and if the words are not correctly pronounced then the gods are not appeased. This means that a sense of purity in grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary had developed as early as the twelfth century B.C.E. For instance, the hymn 26 of Mandala 7, which is attributed to Vasiṣṭha Maitravaruni, opens with a verse which notes that Indra is pleased with sacred ...
