100 Years Ago I've got a dilemma today, folks. Do I lead by complaining about how HEY GAL's influence has directly led to me opining "It is a shame that General Nivelle is not a wizard"? (If he is, he's goddamn Pallando.) Do I lead with how Lt-Col Fraser-Tytler has got six other officers all tightly crammed into his I'm sorry, I'll read that again. 100 Years Ago The Germans attack again at Verdun, Henri Desagneaux has a front-row seat as they threaten to capture Fleury and cut off Bras, and HEY GAL is entirely to blame for today's lament that General Nivelle is not a wizard. Herbert Sulzbach remembers once more that he has a diary; Lt-Col Fraser-Tytler has an amusing mishap in his observation post that ends with six other men stuffed into his tunnel entrance; Oskar Teichman admires the Suez Canal defences; Edward Mousley gets caught in a sandstorm; E.S. Thompson appears to have a good platoon commander; and Maximilian Mugge is still pushing paper around the base at Boulogne.

The works of Domênikos "El Greco" Theotokópoulos is the most recent example I can think of off the top of my head.

The Furies looks really interesting to me. Also lolquote:“The misery of war is Mr. Martines's great theme. Rather than focusing on strategy and diplomatic maneuvers, he writes military history from the sharp end, from the victims' perspective. Whereas in our own day the constant focus on victims can be problematical, since it makes it hard for democracies to fight opponents who have no scruples, such an approach is entirely appropriate in dealing with the wars of past oppressors.” ¯The Wall Street Journal an important lesson for everyone, except us

So in the past 2 weeks or so Britain has basically turned into 1930s Japan. I expect by this time next year they will be conducting a full scale invasion of Romania or something.

Cyrano4747 posted:... A few years earlier a KGB assassin had tried for murder and only got sentenced as an accomplice to murder because the judges ruled that someone acting under orders in a totalitarian system was not fully culpable for their actions. Obviously this had implications for trying Holocaust perpetrators. The only killings that they could get someone on directly were those committed without orders or where they were the primary order giver. Do you have some more details?

Exactly who's supposed to be the aggressor here? Is Russia going to make a serious attempt at conquering Europe? Because from everything I've seen of their actions, Putin doesn't really have any outright suicidal plans and isn't a crazy genocidal one-ball like Hitler.
