The reason the western allies wanted to make peace with Hitler was because they had a role in creating him and re-arming Germany in order to create an anti-communist bulwark state. They were surprised when this Frankenstein creation backfir

At least part of the reason is strategic economic planning. They are trying to build a 21st century moat between the US and BRICS since everything else is eroding quickly. They were hoping AI would be the thing that places the US far out of

do you have any concept of what they were doing in Gaza? 85% of schools bombed/damaged, almost every hospital destroyed, tens of millions of tons of rubble, Trump said 1.7-1.8M remaining (meaning 400-500k dead). this is a holocaust. De
