One of the interesting points in the book I'm reading was that Hitler basically spelled out very clearly what he was going to do in terms of invading other countries and starting a war in that book, but no one outside of Germany read it and the few that did thought it was all bluster and pandering to racist, nationalist base.

Yep and reading between the lines you also know how/why it was destined to fail.

This particular edition is in Altdeutsche and Sutterlin typefaces - not a quick read. It was impossible to find in regular (modern) print, so I had to slog my way through this - not fun, but since nobody else at university had a copy at all, I had some advantages in the discussions

My dad picked that copy up somewhere along the way - along with the transcripts of the Nurnberg trials - all 36 volumes.

Weather chief: Ukraine war may be 'blessing' for climate (msn.com)

I've been thinking about this for a while. All this talk of "oh no Putin's going to cut off our gas supply!" Idiots you should have been doing that of your own accord decades ago, it's pathetic someone like Putin has to do it for you. This and Russia (Putin's) downfall are the only two good things to come out of this war.

Too bad that Israel won’t sell Iron Dome defense system. I’m surprised that we don’t have anything like that, though I seem to remember us having a sea-based defense system that “shoots” something like a million rounds at once. IDK what to think about Israel, they’re so complicated (to me). Interesting that Russia is repurposing missiles and are using Iranian kamakaze drones.

That's an interesting question with no real answers. Does the Iron dome not wok for larger countries? Do they not want to export their technology? Are they afraid that it won't work and change the mystique of the iron dome?

I'm getting one of those old metal and wood school desks. I learned as a kid it'll protect me from a nuke.

They couldn't make that movie today - suggesting that a young girl go with a sleazy looking stranger into a dark doorway? Jumping off a moving tractor and having the machinery stop inches from their head?

I used that in a training 10+ years ago and got the same reaction.
