People should judge for themselves, and if your attempt is to make people judge the correctitude of the message mostly spread in "western" media that "Russia bad, Everything else good", and alienate them from Ukraine's side, well you are really doing a great job. This is some fine "ana...
Trench strafing was a bug part of the job for British and I assume French pilots in 1918. And during the German spring offensive. The British also straffed Germans as they were advancing along the roads, shooting up and bombing men and horses/wagons. Generally IL2 both ww2 and ww1 needs ...
It was easy. You could see it coming from miles away. Tech is the new Wall Street, full of ultra rich out of touch people who have too much power and not enough empathy. Erin Griffith nailed it in her Wired piece from a few weeks ago. Add to that context the fact that the big ...

The western allies didn’t save France from Nazi Germany; they saved France and the rest of western Europe from the Soviet Union. Stalingrad and Kursk was where WW2 was won and lost. As a historian friend says: “World War Two was fought between Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia; everything...
‘contrarian.’ It is not even ‘lukewarm.’ It discusses worst-case scenarios, and how to think about their plausibility. In fact, in one of the threads at WUWT discussing one of my previous ‘worst-case’ posts, commenters thought that this was way too ‘alarmist’ to be posted at ...
