  • Oh look Hitler and Von Hindenburg all over again.

    USA and Canada? You mean Germany and Austria?

    Well at least my grandchildren may be able to see a newer version of Sound of Music when this is all done…

    My poor children though… Hope not…


    Hindenburg and the Rise of the Nazi Party An early critic of Hitler and the Nazi party, Hindenburg initially refused to give Hitler the chancellor title he demanded. But, pressured by his conservative inner circle and in response to the Nazi party’s growing power, he appointed Hitler to the leadership position, assured by his advisors that the Nazi agenda would be squelched.

    Hitler quickly used Hindenburg’s decree powers to pass a number of mandates, including the 1933 Reichstag Fire Decree, the Enabling Act and the Law for the Protection of the People and the States.

    In failing health, Hindenburg’s appointment essentially gave Hitler dictatorship powers, and when the president died at the age of 86 on August 2, 1934, Hitler appointed himself führer of Germany. Hindenburg was interred, along with the remains of his wife, TK, who died in TK, at the Tannenberg war memorial in Prussia. In 1946, they were moved to St. Elizabeth Church in Marburg, Germany.

  • Yes. But I also think that it’s been left to smoulder on purpose. The western allies have all the firepower needed to push this invasion back. This trickle of weapons and support isn’t stupidity or poor supply chain. It’s malicious. It does not allow Ukraine to win, just to hold on. Ukraine should be getting all the support and more to help her stop bleeding.

    I thought it was travesty of incompetence. But I am sure it isn’t as the US, UK and France and others don’t seem to lose supply when weapons are needed elsewhere and being bought.

    Ukraine should be given everything she needs to gain independence. I fear she is being used and being setup to create a long term weapons market.
