For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

In the Summer of 1941 the Soviets and the British surprise attacked and conquered Iran for basically no reason except that they could and they wanted to. The Iranian government appealed to the US and Roosevelt said "lol gently caress off" and all this actually happened.

Here's what happens with Vietnam, 1939-1946:

1. France, of which the French Empire is a part, declares war on Nazi Germany.
2. France loses and negotiates a peace with the Germans where they are going to be neutral from here on out.
3. Japanese troops occupy Vietnam and the French living there collaborate with the Japanese to keep the Vietnamese down.
4. The US and Japan start a war, partially because of the Japanese occupation of Vietnam.
5. The US supports Viet resistance against the Japanese/French regime in Vietnam, including American medics saving Ho Chi Min from dying from a fever.
6. The Vietnamese people declare independence using words from the American Declaration of Independence.
7. Americans decide that there are good French, and there are bad French, and the Viets fought against bad French, and now it's time for good French to take charge of their country again.
8. Viets are pissed.

Most American collective memories of the 1960's start with "nobody knew where Vietnam was, or that Vietnam was a country" but loving Vietnam was a major reason why Americans were in WW2 and Ho Chi Minh was at the Versailles Conference in 1919 begging America to give a poo poo about hiim and his people.

Steven Bradbury, Australian Olympic gold medalist in speed skating, trailed the pack for the entirety of the race until, in the final corner of the final lap, the four other competitors fell right the gently caress over, allowing Bradbury to win the gold.

Even more surprising was that was the strategy he literally trained for and the same thing happened to help him make it to the Olympics.

quote:

After consulting his national coach Ann Zhang, Bradbury's strategy from the semi-final onwards was to cruise behind his opponents and hope that they crashed, as he realised he was slower and could not match their raw pace.[15] His reasoning was that risk-taking by the favourites could cause a collision due to a racing incident, and if two or more skaters fell, the remaining three would all get medals, and that as he was slower than his opponents, trying to challenge them directly would only increase his own chances of falling.[15][16] Bradbury said that he was satisfied with his result, and felt that as the second-oldest competitor in the field, he was not able to match his opponents in four races on the same night.[17]

In his semi-final race, Bradbury was in last place, well off the pace of the medal favourites. However, three of the other competitors in the semi-final—defending champion Kim Dong-sung of South Korea, multiple Olympic medallist Li Jiajun of China and Mathieu Turcotte of Canada—crashed, paving the way for the Australian to take first place and advancing him through to the final.

That's mostly thanks to the then-current head of the Nobel committee, Thorbjørn Jagland. Previously (among other things) Prime Minister of Norway for a little while in the 90s. Nobody understood what the gently caress he was thinking then, nor later.

Ladies and gentlemen: my state representative, Mr. Justin Moed.

It's not so surprising that a politician was seeing a prostitute, or that he was secretly having affairs with men, or that the prostitute released their sordid text messages and photos to the press. The punchline is that this was the same prostitute who had previously exposed Anthony Weiner and ruined his career, and it's not like he didn't know who she was.

I'm the last person to defend acts of Western imperialism in the Middle East but the 1941 attack was a direct result of Reza Shah denying the transport of materiel to Russia through Iran. Writing that it was done "for basically no reason except that they could and they wanted to" is blatantly false. Yes, it's not a thing Jesus would do but securing a strategic passage so you can continue fighting actual Nazis during the biggest war in history isn't really comparable to the coup against Mossedeq.

In 1941 Britain didn't really seem like the place that could just start wars for fun everywhere, even if they are really really really really white and patriarchal. Was there some more context?
