Finland has become the 31st member of the Nato security alliance, doubling the length of member states' borders with Russia.

The Finnish foreign minister handed the accession document to the US secretary of state who declared Finland a member.

Then in bright sunshine in front of Nato's gleaming new headquarters, Finland's white-and-blue flag joined a circle of 30 other flags.

Finland's accession is a setback for Russia's Vladimir Putin.

He had repeatedly complained of Nato's expansion before his full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said by attacking his neighbour, the Russian leader had triggered exactly what he had sought to prevent.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov warned that Russia would be "watching closely" what happens in Finland, describing Nato's enlargement as a "violation of our security and our national interests".

lol russia can't even get a fucking hypersonic missile past UKR's handful of donated air defenses. Now they're going to send their most asspensive jets and pilots into that same airspace. Life expectancy of a WWII tank op's got nothing on these poor bastards.

Finland I think ur a-ok.

Where did the idea off angels with wings come from?

There's one (only one) example of an angel in the Bible that is described as having swan's wings. I think it's in Ezekiel, might be Isaiah... All other angels are not described with wings, save maybe a few Revelations ones but I can't recall any.

Ezekiel and Isaiah are very old books, and likely the source for winged figures across the globe. Previously cherubs were depicted as the Heavenly winged creatures, cherubs are some sort of beast with odd features.

If you haven't heard before, there's this news channel called "China Uncensored." In it, the host says one thing after another pointing out every possible fault about China, and I had the suspicion you could do a similar thing with all other countries on the globe.

/hi/

I want a good overview book of the Crimean War but it doesn't really seem like there is a canon account of this historical period. Figes has written one, but he's a rather modern historian. All the published histories of the Crimean War seem pretty modern.

What do you think of Orlando Figes? Is he a solid, dependable writer? Do you think that he would show a pro-British bias in this book?

So this guy Geert Adriaans Boomgaard lived during the lifetimes of both Napoleon Bonaporte and Adolf Hitler. Almost lived to see the First World War roughly a century after he fought in the Napoleonic Wars.

So it's almost as if he lived during both reigns of Nostradamus' Anti-Christs, right?

Let's imagine a world where whites (French, Germs, Scandi and Anglos) as a civilization would be without appropriating culture, technology and riches from other people's.

Which means:
No contact with the Roman Republic/Empire and China
No crusades
No Judeo-Christian religions
No discovery of the new world
No colonization of Africa
No establishments of chiefdom beyond Germania Magna (No Italian, French, Iberian and African dynasties).
Celts still populate most of Europe in this timeline

Also remember that whites before contact with Rome had no literature or construction capabilities beyond wooden buildings. They did have Bronze Age weapons, though. Starting year: 200 B.C. (before first Roman interventions in Gaul because they wouldn't stop killing each other)

Let's level whatever field you're playing on, no culture, technology or riches from others - all civs.

>Also remember that whites before contact with Rome had no literature or construction capabilities beyond wooden buildings. They did have Bronze Age weapons, though. Starting year: 200 B.C.
So in 200 B.C. the whites steam roll every other Civ...
Let's be clear the Romans (who were the ones who held them in check) appropriated almost everything from other cultures including their entire pantheon.

So now you got whitey steam rolling across the globe, slapping henges all over the place as a testament to their awesomeness. Fast forward a few thousand years to the internet age and we have some hut-shitter rambling on about how if other Civs had worked together in 200BC. they could have made the world a better place by stopping the whitey before his dominance.

Shit's 'like circlular you know, like stone henge....
