trump saw how "little rocket man's" sister was getting great press and wants desperately to one-up him

I really hope future history books are honest enough to admit that the reason we went to war with North Korea was that Trump was jealous that Kim's sister was hotter than Trump's daughter

The fact that the NRA are celebrating a net neutrality repeal, an issue that has nothing to do with gun rights, should clue everyone in to how bankrupt the NRA is, but conservatives are too loving stupid to realize that.

Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current President of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality.
it would be very retro cool if the president's daughter was kidnapped by communists

Not true on a number of levels.

Even in later medieval times, there was an idea of a state as a state when it came to military matters. In the Hundred Years' War, soldiers signed an indenture, or contract, to fight for England. There is a huge index of soldier rolls at https://research.reading.ac.uk/medievalsoldier/ derived from this information.

You also had "of the German Nation" being a part of the Holy Roman Empire's official title from the early 16th century. It didn't get their by accident.

not gonna read the 30 pages in between, but I think the crux of the issue was what the peasants most closely identified themselves with.


yeah the Roman Empire and the British royal family existed for a long time, but they weren’t the ones conscripting soldiers. they had dukes and barons bend the knee. and it’s those local lords who the common folk actually felt a connection to (that connection was probably fear)

"We have about 50% of the world's wealth but only 6.3 of its population... We cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships, which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security. To do so we will have to dispense with all sentimentality and daydreaming; and our attention will have to be concentrated everywhere on our immediate national objectives. We need not deceive ourselves that we can afford today the luxury of altruism and world benefaction... We should cease to talk about vague unreal objectives such as human rights, the raising of the living standards, and democratization. The day is not far off when we are going to have to deal in straight power concepts. The less we are hampered by idealistic slogans, the better."
