OTD in 1940, USSR formally annexed Latvia. Soviets troops had been "invited in" (in accordance with absolutely nothing to do with our treaty with Nazis) & then held "elections" where 99%+ voted to join USSR. None of this should sound familiar to you.
Ah. thank you for highlighting the days when the Red Army advanced rapidly thanks to western military aid. Now, without without it, Russia has taken 4 and a half years to advance 60km. More than 20 times less than the Red Army managed in WW2 thanks to lend lease.
2 points: 1. The year 1941 will always be before 1944. That's just how time works. Even if it is imperialist. 2. Blocking everyone but your Prez may seem loyal but it reeks of capitalist hunger for social media status to feed the greed of oligarchs & makes you out as enemy of people.
On World Owl Appreciation Day, what better way to appreciate owls than to marvel at this ancient Greek warrior owl. He brandishes a long spear, a large hoplon shield and sports a magnificent crested helmet. So appreciate him. OR ELSE. 🕰️c390BC 🏛️📷Louvre
I'd like to thank Donald for all he did ti help make this possible.

Work on the trailer for the UAZ, #histscalemodels. I know there are a couple of layer lines visible, trust they will be covered with snow, mud and grime soon enough!

A Russian paratrooper jumped at Airborne Forces Day celebrations outside Moscow. His parachute failed to open and he crashed to his death. Making a perfect analogy for this war.
Over the last 10 yrs, sharpshooters hired by the B.C. govt have killed hundreds of wolves from helicopters to "save" struggling caribou herds. The real cause of caribou decline isn't wolves, though - it's habitat destruction. This isn't endangered species conservation, BC. It's willful ignorance.

The program exists to save at-risk caribou, but critics want Ottawa to move to preserve herds’ old-growth habitat.

A Roman military diploma was an official copy of an imperial decree issued in Rome. It served as permanent, physical proof that a non-citizen auxiliary soldier or sailor had completed their service and been granted honourable discharge and Roman citizenship.
Meet Tigernos, one of Britain’s earliest named sailors! ⚓️ A Briton and Roman fleet veteran, his story is recorded on the bronze Lanchester Diploma issued by Antoninus Pius in AD 150. It grants him honourable discharge from the Classis Germanica and Roman citizenship. #EpigraphyTuesday #Archaeology
When Z channels are complaining that there is a shortage of drone components, my trolls will be unable to connect this to the fact that Ukraine has wiped Wildberries and Ozon off the map.
I'll bet this Ukrainian guy would have been safer if he had a weapon to defend himself from the drone hunting him on its human safari.

OTD in 1916 USA recognized Greenland as part of Denmark. Trump's plans to annex it have caused people like Mearsheimer a lot of mental anguish as USA, the country they oppose, acts like Russia, the country they appease
OTD in 1914 Pro German began to annex Belgium due to Kaiser's legitimate security concerns. The plan to was supposed to ensure quick victory but led to stalemate, slaughter and the eventual abdication of Kaiser....
The linearity of time remains an imperialist construct.
