Germany has twice waged war against almost the whole continent, both times defeated only by overwhelming force and American help. For 80 years, Germany was pacifist. Now, the Eagle has re-awakened but this time, finally, as a force for good. Russia seems to have forgotten Germany's industrial might.
"Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin will go down in history as responsible for reversing the Great Patriotic War’s main achievement, to wit ending German militarism and turning Germany into a pacifist state by force of arms." Great article!

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

As to Donald Trump’s foreign policy, this is it. This is the shibboleth. If you understand where the Trump Doctrine comes from, you understand exactly what is happening right now and why.

Every American should read this, and so should every European diplomat. From a bestselling Trump biographer:
The Birth of the Trump Doctrine Lies in the 1987 Recruitment of Donald Trump By the KGB During His Trip to Moscow That Year
How Trump responded to his recruitment remains unclear. What is clear, however, is that it shaped his entrance into politics and his foreign policy in a way the world now ignores at its peril.

"I don’t want to hear any Republicans talk about “freedom” unless they have the guts to call out Trump for the lies that he is telling about Putin and Ukraine.

It was Russia that started the war, not Ukraine.

Putin is the dictator, not Zelensky," - Bernie Sanders, U.S. Senator

"Americans do not swear an oath to a king, a tyrant or a dictator. We swear an oath to the Constitution and the idea of America, for which we are willing to die," — Mark Milley

He said that every US military member gives his life to protect the Constitution, not to individuals.

Autocrats have been ousted by lesser civil societies in other countries. Trump, for his part, will be up against a civil society whose strength and depth is virtually unmatched the world over. In short, we can do it. I show how in this essay: www.readthedetox.com/p/trump-can-...
Trump Can Be Stopped
Other countries managed to fend off autocracy. By borrowing from their playbook, America can too.

Now this is a title I love, but never thought I'd ever see translated. Good to see that there is still some interest in the PC-FX, not many games there, but a few gems it does have. Now, maybe Miraculum up next, pretty please? 🤔

Now this choice was MUCH harder than I thought it would be, but it was clear from the start that it would consist of RPGs only, because that's how I roll, so here are mine:

Waking up to the news of Akira Toriyama's death is... weird. He was one of the greats whose influence could always be subtly felt in anime, manga and games. I loved DBZ as a teen, really do not like DBS, but I still respect the man. Rest in peace, Serpent Road is waiting.

Apart from the fact that @kimimi.bsky.social is an amazingly creative writer and you should check her out if you care even the slightest about retro (and especially Japanese retro) gaming, the game she's reviewing here is one of the best on the PC-Engine and it's a shame it's still untranslated.

I fully agree with this opinion. It is dangerous to falsify history and while I'm fine with changing the order of things or certain small details, it's dangerous once the changes distort the real events and characters. I will watch Napoleon, but will be cautious in my approach.
