Article doesn't have its facts right...
Tablet | Judenrein Europe From this article: France, with the largest European Jewish population, has been sustained largely by the mass migration from North Africa. But it still has fewer Jews than it did in 1939 Wrong. France has twice the Jewish population that it had in 1939. It is presently th...

令和元旦 おめでとうございます
A good exposition of the multiple possible meanings/interpretations of 令和 |Reiwa Thank you, Colonel, very instructive. Wishing you and all of Japan best - if belated - wishes on the occasion of emperor Naruhito's accession to throne. :) https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20190501/09/eitapan/4e/26/j/...

Think America is so so bad? This to help you think again
Here is the speech by Chinese president Xi Jinping on Jan 3rd 2018 to Army units. Watch it for yourself. yfcsbUMDh_w What is striking is not the fact that China has large armed forces. Given the country's size, that is nothing to be surprised of. What is striking is the apparatus and decorum of powe...
Re: The U.K.
There is a short series of these by a history professor on the run-up to WWI. Not what I was taught in school. Seems reasonably well sourced. Covers Cecil Rhodes, Balfour, Boer War etc. Predictably, it covers a lot of carefully selected things BUT the run-up to war June 28th to August 1st. If the s...

Macron's hands + "Secret weapon"
Macaroni has either partnered with the onion or has been taken hostage. HIlarious to watch, he is literally bribing people with a minimum wage increase. Also fun to watch Macaroni appealing to Nationalism. Personally, I've been somewhat fascinated by Macron's hands during this speech. Put flat on t...

Another arrogant billionnaire for president?
I heard two comments from women regarding Oprah Some Americans are strongly opposed to Trump, which they denounce, among other things, as an arrogant billionnaire. My two cents: if they want to have a chance at replacing him in 2020, they better not choose another arrogant billionnaire. Just sayin'...

Re: US Foreign Policy | Past and Present
But the danger lies in it attempting something like Britain’s during the Suez crisis of 1956, when it forgot for a moment that the imperial era had ended – and overreached. It will be extremely difficult for Trump to swallow the humiliation as Anthony Eden (who resigned as British prime minister) d...

Independentists ARE numerous
Countryside is the part of Catalonia where independentists are most numerous.
How numerous?
Well, consider e.g. Palol de Revardit, little village of 470 souls, where 1,002 people voted on October 1st.
"Yes" garnered 99%.

Catalonian charade
they turned a 50/50 situation into a 90/10 with clumsy authoritarianism - this could have played out like england/scotland, i believe the numbers where similar until the idiots started throwing the police force around. This "referendum" was a charade : - No electoral commission - No censu...
