Juvenile Adventurism Led to the First World War

"... there are times when image is nothing and action is everything." said President Medvedev of Russia.

So that's another lesson for the Brown regime: one for the Foreign Secretary, and one for Labour's Leader. Labour's part time Defence Minister is probably next up - the Russian government is discussing military requirements and equipment with its armed forces.

Georgia's political incompetent of a Head of Government has done incalculable damage to the United States' foreign policy and status, and to NATO and the European Union's credibility as military and politico-economic powers too.

Quite right Hats!

Millywilly is a special inadequate in real work. He's a hopeless upstart with nothing but Brown's pathetic 'support' (big deal...), and he'll be trampled on everywhere he squeaks.

He's a pathetic little politician - absolutely useless for a place like UK.

BTW, Lils has something similar on at the moment, - love you both...!

The standard A-level history chestnut was 'What were the causes of the First World War?'. Sometimes, Scroblene, I wonder if political leaders and formulators of policies in think tanks and propaganda institutes have remembered any history at all.

My nuns tended to be shifty on Church and state relations, but they made sure we knew our stuff from 1870 to 1914, and the balance of power. Pius XII made the Second World War a more sketchy undertaking.

History? What's that? Hasn't anybody told you that year 1 was 1997?

As far as I can see, the education system had a historyectomy in the mid 1960s.
