Large number of C-17As stopping off at The UK and continuing east tonight, this as a major cyber attack is said to paralyze Mullah computer networks. Very similar to the buildup before the first set of US Strikes. This as the Mullah Dictatorship has opened fire on protesters across Iran tonight.

Iran and Cuba are next, the axis of evil is shrinking by the day. Eventually we’ll have to meet the CCP at the First Island Chain, but we’ll crush Russia first by flooding the oil markets.

Legitimacy is determined by sovereign democratic action and international recognition, but I wouldn’t place China or Russia on the same moral mountain as us.
Who determines legitimacy? After all, Russia doesn't think Ukraine is legitimate, and China doesn't think Taiwan is. Hell, Trump and much of the right didn't think Biden was legitimately elected.

Negerhollands is an Afro-Dutch creole that developed on Islands like Saint Thomas, whose large Dutch merchant population and enslaved Africans workers combined to create a syncretic linguistic rarity.

“My father's people say that at the birth of the sun and of his brother the moon, their mother died. So the sun gave to the earth her body, from which was to spring all life. And he drew forth from her breast the stars, and the stars he threw into the night sky to remind him of her soul".

Hesitancy in the latter months of 1776 cost the British the entire war. This is firmly planted in the psyche of Howe, Clinton and Burgoyne by witnessing the slaughter at Breed’s Hill.

There is sense of disdain that develops out of the Seven Years War, Americans are now but one of many subject peoples to be ruled and I think the whole cousin status begins to become quite embarrassing for many high up in Crown service.

The British will gain about 90% of the old French alliance system, bringing in not only most of the Iroquois league, but also the Shawnee Confederation of the Ohio, The Anishinaabe of the Great Lakes and even the Cherokee.

The imagery of the “Noble Sauvage” is much more complex than just derogatory in this instance, the Declaration’s language isn’t aimed at Native peoples as much as it’s using the cultural fear of frontier bloodshed to levy against the British Crown.
