The talk in Europe is “how to get a seat at the table.” Respectfully, that’s the wrong question. The right question is, “how can Europe build a new table.”

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.
Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Message from the front! During WWII, army dog Dolly served as a messenger dog on the border between Finland & Sweden. Dolly's handler regularly sent letters home to her owners, sharing updates about her well-being and performance. The two below are written on birch bark, 1944!
