in my opinion, far future historiography will probably lump together the Gulf War, Iraq War, and the present conflict into one big overarching "Gulf Wars" with distinct but connected periods as we do for the Thirty Years War today
After a widespread State Department alert for the Middle East, U.S. President Donald J. Trump is set to return early from Camp David, citing the potential for significant escalation in the region due to the Houthi’s attacks against Saudi Arabia, the president will return early from Camp David.
@jfksburneracc Then NATO is undermined and Article 5 is shown to be a bluff. He could move toward the Baltics more for some sort of victory.
That’s if he even can. I think Russia will still flounder
If Russia attacks NATO allies, two things can happen
1. European population is outraged at their own leaders for “dragging us into war”, pro-Ukraine support collapses, Europe capitulates
2. Europeans rally around the flag, patriotism reignites, they fight back against Russia
How Benjamin Franklin Defined Different European Peoples.
Briefly what they each meant in the 18th century:
- White: Very fair/pale complexion; Franklin mainly applied this to the English and Saxons.
- Swarthy: Darker or more “dusky” European complexion; included French, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, Russian and most German peoples.
- Saxons: Franklin considered Saxons “white,” unlike most other Germans, whom he called “swarthy.”
- Tawny: A broad 18th-century term for brown or tan complexions, used for peoples outside most of Europe.
- Unclear: Franklin never explicitly classified these populations, so their placement is unknown.
Important: These were loose 18th-century ideas about complexion and ethnicity, not modern scientific racial categories.
