NAZIS destroyed everything it touched. I fixed it for you.

They LITERALLY preferred NAZIS.

That's not a "win."

German Fun Fact: Nazis were defeated by the [redacted]. After murdering nearly 30 million [redacted] citizens and soldiers to achieve that victory.

While the rest of the world celebrates Hitler’s defeat on May 2… in Ukraine, Nazi parades are held to honor Hitler’s Ukrainian collaborators, the 14th Waffen SS Grenadier Division.

🦛✊ During the 872-day Siege of Leningrad in WWII, where over a million civilians died from starvation and bombardment, Dashina; Krasavitsa's keeper, hauled water daily from the Neva River to keep Krasavitsa's skin moist and treated it with camphor oil to prevent cracking.

She didn't eat much, but her size helped significantly. Their large bodies store significant fat reserves, and their sedentary lifestyle helps conserve energy. They can go almost a month without any food whatsoever. Krasavitsa survival is a testament to the resilience of Hippos, and the commitment of her Leningrad Zoo keepers.

I fully understand the knee jerk reaction to A.I. etc. Regardless, this is a fascinating image of a young Trotsky. His hair was historically shorter during his first marriage, so it's unlikely this image is Aleksandra Lvovna Sokolovskaya. If anyone could guess or know the other two in the images, most appreciated.

Grigory Zinoviev -

"The population of the colonies means nothing but beasts of burden to the gentlemen imperialists ... The imperialists of all countries treat the peoples who are the objects of their imperialist exploitation as slaves.

Naturally the slaves rebel against their tormentors and naturally the strivings of these peoples for freedom and independence become stronger the more often they have the opportunity to conduct a war of defense against their oppressors. The socialists must recognize these wars of the colonial peoples against their European imperialist rulers as just wars of defense."

Americans love banging on about the War of Independence. They’re quieter on the War of 1812. Here’s why.

In 1812, America declared war on Britain. The plan was to march into Canada and annex it. Thomas Jefferson said it would be “a mere matter of marching.”

It wasn’t. The Canadians sent them packing. Two years later, the British sailed up the Potomac.

American forces collapsed at Bladensburg in what’s still called “the Bladensburg Races” because of how fast they ran. President Madison had already fled to Maryland.

The British walked into Washington unopposed. They sat down in the White House, ate the dinner Dolley Madison had laid out for forty guests, used the President’s silver, then set fire to the building. Then they burned the Capitol, the Treasury and the Navy Yard.

A freak thunderstorm put the fires out the next day. The British left when they were ready. It’s still the only time a foreign army has captured the US capital.

You can see why it doesn’t come up much.
