As noted, Europe will never forgive the Jews for Auschwitz.
I wish this era didn’t feel so much like I imagine the 1930s did, particularly with what’s apparently about to become a cave to Iran.

History may not repeat itself but it is certainly beginning to rhyme.
Another deal with Iran! What’s the over/under for Iran announcing they will not follow the deal? I’m going with 60 hours. They’ll let the Europeans upstage Kerry again, then wait a day for Obama to make a statement about how great the deal is, and then the Ayatollah will come out and explain how Obama lied about the deal and they won’t accept anything in it other than the sanctions being lifted. It’s happened every time so far, and I think 2.5 days is all they need.
Well the only thing we talked at school about Israel here, in my time, was about the (failed) kolkhoz communal economic system. Sorry I meant kibbutz I mixed those up. Freudian slip.
Other than that maybe discussing the New Testament in Bible Class. I did mention I’m Catholic right? That wasn’t particularly glamorous either.
I do have to say I admire their spunk and I have a high opinion of the Jewry here. However last month I had the misfortune of seeing a family of seriously inbred Jews. WTF. That was one of the few times I have felt physical repulsion just by looking at another human being. It was as if I was looking at a caricature of the Habsburgs or something. Christ. As if having all these Muslims around Europe wasn’t bad enough. I almost became a whole range anti-Semite right there and then (Arabs and Jews both).
As for the deal with Iran just think of this like the deal Nixon made with China. It is a marriage of convenience against a common foe. Remember the Chinese-Vietnamese war that happened soon after? This is for the Iran-ISIS war.
Obama has bigger fish to fry at this moment. Remember that ability to fight multiple simultaneous wars ability that the PNAC talked about? Two simultaneous theaters of war isn’t gonna cut it anymore. If you go after them all. Focus is necessary.
I quote Wikipedia:
“the … Defense Ministry expected to procure 100 warships by 2020” (Russia)
“…obsolete combat ships (based on 1960s designs) will be phased out in the coming decades as more modern designs enter full production…
phasing out would see a reversal in the decline in quantity of PLAN vessels by 2015, and cuts in inventory after the end of the Cold War could be made up for by 2020…
There were more than a dozen new classes of ships built in these last five years, totaling some 60 brand new ships (including landing ships and auxiliaries).”
(China)
I keep reading military building reports and it keeps sounding more and more like they are both preparing for something massive in the 2020s. I hope I’m wrong and it doesn’t go hot.
For all the talk about the “Ghost Fleet” book and China’s naval buildup people, seem to be ignoring Russia’s naval buildup. Which isn’t going that much slower.
There’s the Borei and Yasen nuclear submarines. The SSBNs replace their old huge liquid fueled missiles with solid fueled missiles. Then there are the Admiral Gorshov frigates, Steregushchy corvettes and so on. Now there is talk about carriers too.
I am not that surprised that Abe has been trying to get Japan to rearm.
The gamble always seems to be having enough for a holding action while new stuff comes online. The problem with that is our windows are getting smaller.
A main problem is our ‘live and let live’ attitude. It would be better if we were the conquerors they accuse us of being. New lands, after being acquired, could petition to become new states if they meet some requirements. We’d need the melting pot back.
The next world war is going to be a bad one.
