However, the offensive was delayed and that gave the Nazis time to prepare their defenses. Before World War II, the Belgian port city of Antwerp was one of the world’s great ports, ranking with those of Hamburg, Rotterdam, and New York.

North Korea’s Coronavirus Economic Downturn Has Made It Weak
Daniel R. DePetris, The National Interest - 8 hours ago
*Daniel R. DePetris* *North Korea Coronavirus, Americas* The question is whether the economic turmoil the North is experiencing will have any long-term repercussions with respect to North Korea’s domestic or foreign policy. There is no question in anyone’s mind that North Korea’s economy, not exactly thriving in the best of times, is meandering in the doldrums. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un wouldn’t be invoking the “great arduous march” of the famine-stricken 1990s if he didn’t believe the Workers Party and the bureaucrats that staff the Kim dynasty failed the North Korean peop...
