Hi there! Thanks for the follow!
I'm a Belgium (coast)-based English and History teacher, who adores football, wandering around FWW battlefields, being part of the @greatwargroup.bsky.social, 90s music, reading/watching history stuff and Belgian beer. Feel free to interact on any of those items!

I am scanning lists all over again and sometimes the work comes out with new findings. I am adding three more soldiers to my database, Swedish born, who fought and fell in the Great War. Total number at this date: 593 soldiers. Will I find 600?
#593 - Rudolph (Rudolf) Lundberg, Gestad, Sweden.

NYT wrote 300+ land page articles in the first half of 2024 demanding that Biden step back as he was too old to lead the US. But in 2026 they write very carefully worded articles normalizing & validating Trump's threats of economic & military war with Europe as a totally normal negotiation.
Why is Trump trying to take over Greenland? He tells Norway's prime minister that one reason is his grievance over not winning the Nobel Peace Prize. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/w...

Does Trump understand that the "insurrection Act" is a law thats intended to stop an insurrection? Because he seems to think he can use it to create his own insurrection.

Periodic reminder that, when you’re the president, the words you say matter.
He told the Iranian people help was on the way and to keep protesting.
Now he’s come up with some fantasy that the regime has decided to stop killing people (they haven’t) and backed off.
