...wealthier than mum and dad, who themselves have riches that the grandest Medieval kings could not have imagined. William the Bastard of Normandy (1028-1087), who owned outright the land and people of all of England (and a big chunk of what is now France), plus all of their goods and...

Ah, OK. As usual with movies, the reality is far more complex. The British kept the cracking of Enigma secret until the 1970s (under the "30 year rule", almost nothing from the war years was declassified until 1969-75), with large parts of the work not declassified until the 1990s, and some...

It’s an excerpt of The Imitation Game movie. They kept the cracking of Enigma a secret and it allowed them to win the war a lot earlier including Normandy, Stalingrad, etc.

Britain attacked Germany in WW2 with free floating balloons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Outward

...Japan sent incendiary balloons over the USA trying to start forest fires. When the breakout stalled in Normandy Eisenhower approved indiscriminate carpet bombing a path through French countryside. Putin in his mind is in the WWII exi9stentiall anything goes frame of mind. I think the only...

Those whacky Norman lords! .... By the 11th century, Normandy's dukes had been resorting to regular debasements as a revenue device for some time. But they soon had an epiphany. They realized that they needn't enact an actual debasement to earn a profit. Instead, they could just threaten to...

FTFY. Of course it's been criticized. The Daily Mail and her supporters are not at all in favour of people pointing out the fact that a Trump victory would be a disaster for freedom and democracy. Note that their complaint isn't that she's wrong.

Well, you should give her a little credit. At least she didn't say the women back home on D-Day had it worse. :)

Oh Hillary; Daily Mail

i notice that daily mail edited that video to stop just before EVERYONE ELSE ON THE STAGE SAT DOWN.

If Brandon is your guy, that's cool. He's not the guy for me though. I am not going to hold my nose and vote for him.

I'm not going to repost it, but I stand my position that a frozen bag of tomatoes would be infinitely better for this country than the yam colored shit stain.

He is not going to make it to November; Daily Mail You can actually see "Dr" Jill Biden telling the old duffer not to sit down! His decline is obvious, when will the Dems end this charade.

And the dead American suckers and losers buried in the cemeteries of Normandy - where Trump wouldn't go for fear of messing up his 17 hairs.

...by instructing Russian tanks and troops to pour into Ukraine and attempt to capture Kyiv. Because apparently that's what an attack on Russia looks like. It's practically a carbon copy of the American attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, or the German decision to invade Normandy in 1944...

...There were huge numbers of boomers because their parents were busy fighting a war, and so in many cases had to defer starting a family (it's astonishingly difficult to get your wife pregnant when she's in Toronto, and you're in a shell hole in Normandy, even if she's not on the pill).

...retrospect, it would have been much more economical to pursue a similar strategy in World War II, by letting the Germans push us back from Normandy and into the English Channel on D-Day, entailing massive allied casualties. Then we could have just waited for them to collapse while saving a...

But they can't do it. At least not yet. Ukraine is struggling to get to the smaller villages on southern and northern flanks of Bakhmut. The city itself is pretty much secure. At first, Ukraine needs to at least take Klischiivka or the "ledge" NW of Bakhmut. And maybe soledar first, like Russia...
