That’s what I said with the pacts and treaties. Germany originally thought GB wouldn’t enter the war over “a silly piece of paper” speaking of the treaty between Belgium and Britain. Princip was the spark though.
Of course they are more awake but to what end. I suppose that's progress and we are one small step on the road to many. But in the end it's back to basics while DC stays intact and marches onward. I think it's too far gone.
Basically Kaiser Wilhelm wanted to prove he was the equal of England as a great power. He started the German general staff mobilizing as a threat then got trapped because once started they didn’t know how to stop. Also he backed Austria in its revenge against Serbia not believing Russia would go to war over that. Likewise the Russians started mobilizing. Finally the French wanted payback for the drubbing they took in the aFranco-Prussian war. Once the tripwire was sprung the general staffs and train schedules took over and the so called statesmen were powerless. "The lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our life-time", British Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey remarked to a friend on the eve of the United Kingdom's entry into the First World War. He was right it wasn’t until the Soviet Union fell that there was any real light in Europe. Now with Putin acting as he is they threaten to go out again.
That was not the question, and Assad did not gain the decisive upper hand until Trump came along. Not saying it would have been any different, but I simply answered a simple question.
Kek, in the alt-right’s telling, is the “deity” of the semi-ironic “religion” the white nationalist movement has created for itself online – partly for amusement, as a way to troll liberals and self-righteous conservatives both, and to make a kind of political point. He is a god of chaos and darkness, with the head of a frog, the source of their memetic “magic,” to whom the alt-right and Donald Trump owe their success, according to their own explanations. In many ways, Kek is the apotheosis of the bizarre alternative reality of the alt-right: at once absurdly juvenile, transgressive, and racist, as well as reflecting a deeper, pseudo-intellectual purpose that lends it an appeal to young ideologues who fancy themselves deep thinkers. It dwells in that murky area they often occupy, between satire, irony, mockery, and serious ideology; Kek can be both a big joke to pull on liberals and a reflection of the alt-right’s own self-image as serious agents of chaos in modern society.
Actually Assad was on the verge of losing until OBAMA let Putin get involved to help with the disastrous Iran deal. That is who let Putin’s foot in the door and 90% of the blame for that atrocity should be laid at that effers feet. Not only that but Obama wouldn’t help the Kurds or Syrian rebels when it would have meant something. This is not a Trump debacle. By the time he got in office the dice were cast. Obama and Putin both have bloody hands.
