Short book review by Robert Barnes:
The War That Ended Peace: The Road to 1914.
Reveals the idiocy of elites that led to a war that scarred the world for a century to come, bringing down centuries-long empires in a mere half-decade across the continent, from the islands controlling a world so broad they say the sun never slept on it, across the six-century old family governing much of Europe to the Asian empire whose sudden collapse brought us the Mideastern wars of today, to the end of the continent with a three-century old Russian empire still reeling from its fall. The British Empire: gone. The Hapsburg empire: gone. The Ottoman Empire: gone. The Russian Empire: gone. What took three to six centuries to build, wiped out in less than half a decade. Oh, and it sowed the seeds for the Great Depression, another World War, the rise of Nazism, Fascism and Communism. The most disastrous war in world history. This book gives a glimpse at how it all came about. The greatest threat to civilization isn’t foreign nations or the weather or even the moral corruptibility of its leaders; it is the incredible incompetency of a decision-making class filled with Hubris.

On this most sacred day of the Christian faith, a US president who claims to be a Christian issues a threat to a nation of 94 million people, including over 500,000, Christians—threatening to commit war crimes (pursuant to Geneva Convention) against their civilian infrastructure.
"Behold the puerile, B-movie gangster style of his prose and his use of the word “F..kin’”—now the most overused word in the English language and the clearest expression of our degenerate culture.
"Upon seeing this post, I immediately thought of Madison’s reflections on the evil of war.
"The same malignant aspect . . . may be traced in the inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of war, and in the degeneracy of manners and of morals engendered by both.
"On this Easter Sunday, I pray that the innocent civilians of Iran will be spared from the sadistic and demented wrath of “President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

This week, the US President gave an apparently delusional update of the Iran conflict. Iran's military is decimated, and it's President is asking for a cease fire, he reported.
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman immediately rejected that. State broadcaster IRIB quoted Esmail Baghaei as saying Trump's statements were false and unfounded.
Trump attributed the request for a ceasefire to Iran's "New Regime President."
On the same day, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian criticized the US war against his country in an open letter to the people of the United States on Wednesday, calling it an absurd operation that is costly for their nation.
Within hours of Mr. Trump's analysis of a destroyed Iranian military, Iran fired more missiles at Israel and Gulf Arab states, demonstrating Tehran’s continued ability to attack even as US President Donald Trump claimed the threat from the country was nearly eliminated and predicted the war would end soon.
In Mr. Trump's speech to the nation, Paul...
Today's assymetrical warfare: Iran's cheap munitions are taking out American's most expensive aircraft.
One internet observer:
"Iran, still using their pawns, while Israel and the US out there, with only their King n Queen left. Who will fall first?
"5 pawns and a king versus a king and queen in a chess end game, the side with the 8 pawns always wins. 5 pawns is enough. That’s standard.
"In a way, you could call it asymmetrical warfare."
