Foreign AffairsPresident Trump's First Term Compared To Obama's by panafrican(op): 2:59am On Jun 12, 2019
Obama was sworn -in on January 20, 2009 for his first term.
Only two years later in 2011, he was involved in unnecessary wars in Libya and Syria. Worse the US was working to drive Russia into a Doomsday confrontation.Also Jihadist groups were shedding blood all other the middle East, North Africa and West Africa, meanwhile Obama' s administration was refusing to sell weapons to countries ( Nigeria included) that were being attacked by brutal Islamic terrorist groups.That same administration was accusing those countries of violating terrorists' human rights, Mr. Carter III , the US ambassador to Cote d'Ivoire was the de facto figurehead of the criminal gangs that took arms to put French puppet A.Ouattara in power.

How does this compare to Trump's first term?
Trump was sworn -in on January 20 , 2017, more than two years after his inauguration, he did not attack any country, did not support any jihadist group , and did not connive with any European country to destroy any African country. His main weapon remains Twitter which he uses to go after the media , Mexican immigrants and people who don't like him.
No war drum beating with Russia either.

lol, there will never be Nazi in recent future, the word "Nazi " would raise an eyebrow to the rest of the world on German self claim of racial superiority, no country wants to hear that especially the Israelis.
I was just wondering if the Germans had nukes as at 1941 which nation would have been the first to suffer under such fatalities.
They would probably target the Soviet Union, then threaten UK to surrender of face the same fate as the soviets.

Foreign AffairsRe: How Would The World Look Like Today Had Hitler Won The War? by panafrican(op): 11:53am On Jun 10, 2019
Reading " Mein Kempf" by Adolf Hitler right now just for curiosity.
The first thing that strikes a Panafricanist is how Hitlerr viewed colonialism. Here is what he said:
" Never will the German nation possess the moral right to engage in colonial politics until, at least, it embraces its own sons within a single state. Only when the Reich borders include the very last German, but can no longer guarantee his daily bread, will the moral right to acquire foreign soil arise from the distress of our own people."( Volume 1 Chapter 1).

Isn't there any difference between Hitler' s Gernany and other European nations here?

2. Why the Soviets did not send troops to help Patrice Lumumba in the Congo in the 1960's?
3. What did the Russians do when France was blowing up Cote d'Ivoire recently ( in 2010 - 2011) and putting a French puppet in power ?
Instead of accusing Africans all the time , Russia should ask itself those questions .
If it is not Russia's role to help Africa, then Russia should stop talking about us.

Michael Gove, British PM hopeful: 'I deeply regret' taking cocaine
By Tara John, CNN
Updated 6:39 AM EDT, Sun June 09, 2019

Michael Gove, who was previously Justice Secretary, said he has a "profound sense of regret about it all."

London(CNN) To many an outsider, Britain seems to have been on drugs during its often farcical attempts to leave the European Union.

Now it seems to have been proven as the race to become the next Conservative prime minister sees an avalanche of mea culpas on past drug use.

The past two months have seen former Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab admitting to have dabbled with recreational cannabis, followed by Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt saying he quaffed a marijuana-laced drink while backpacking in India. Fellow Cabinet minister Rory Stewart joined the fray at the end of May, confessing to smoking opium at a wedding in Iran.

The most recent admission came this weekend when Michael Gove admitted to taking drugs on several occasions when he was a "young journalist" two decades ago. He called it a "mistake" that he "deeply" regrets.

In a released excerpt from a book on Gove's life, the Environment Secretary is said to have confessed, while being quizzed by his leadership team, to consuming cocaine.

Foreign AffairsRe: Liberia Blocks Social Media Amid Anti-corruption Protests by panafrican(m):
There is nothing wrong in Liberia that hadn't been before.
The problem in that country of almost 5 million people, is there are 25000 brainwashed slaves (descendants of former black American slaves) who think skies have to fall if they are not in power.
For almost 150 years these slot folks denied basic rights to natives, reason why CIC ( Commander in Chief) Master Sergeant Samuel K. Doe led a bloody coup against president William Tolbert in April 1980.

Today George Weah, a native, is in power, that is why they are outrageously making noise everywhere saying the guy is not educated and talking about corruption.

Sirleaf graduated from Harvard , what did she do during her terms in office ? Nothing. Her son was a crook who used his mother's position to rip off the country.
Foreign AffairsUK: Will Boris Johnson Be Another Blood- Handed David Cameron? by panafrican(op):
Boris Johnson might be the next British prime minister.
This guy is young ( in his 50's).
The problem is before him , two young British Prime minsters did nothing but wage war and create chaos all over the world using lies .
(Tony Blair in Iraq and David Cameron in Libya and Syria.).
What also worries is the age of the French president.
Macron is in his early 40's. We all know at the time David Cameron was in office, France had a young president, his name ? Nicolas Sarkozy. Those two felllows recruited another young president , Barack Obama. Together they waged their wars in Libya and Syria. They even pushed for a war with Russia.
The only good news is things have changed in America, a country where the president is in his solid
70's. Trump is not the age of those fools and he will not be driven into any stupid war.

At some point a longer list will become a List of Great Mathematicians rather than a List of Greatest Mathematicians. I've expanded my original List of Thirty to an even Hundred, but you may prefer to reduce it to a Top Seventy, Top Sixty, Top Fifty, Top Forty or Top Thirty list, or even Top Twenty, Top Fifteen or Top Ten List.

Newton contributed little to number theory, and satisfies the "great breadth" requirement due to his huge contributions to physics. As my knowledge of the history of mathematics grows I often revise the rankings in this list, but by this time I'm reluctant to make major changes at the very top. Without this reluctance I might demote Newton, though he'd still be in the Top Five.

Germany had built a 2,400 mile network of mines, pill boxes, bunkers, landing obstacles along the coast.
Their big guns were protecting Calais. The allies tried to more successfully bomb the bunkers prior to the landings, but poor weather made
it very difficult. Since the idea was for it to be a surprise attack landing, that area was not attacked prior.
D-Day took place in June 1944. The allies invaded Italy in 1943. Wondering why they didn't go through Italy to get to France and attack Germany.

D-Day: Afternoon on Omaha Beach
What Hitler Did Wrong


Correspondent Ernest Hemingway | What Hitler Did Wrong | What Eisenhower Did Right
There was no German counterattack. Rommel's plans for fighting the D-Day battle were never put into motion. There were many reasons.

First, German surprise was complete. The Fortitude operation had fixed German attention on the Pas-de-Calais. They were certain it would be the site of the battle, and they had placed the bulk of their panzer divisions north and east of the Seine River, where they were unavailable for counterattack in Normandy.

Second, German confusion was extensive. Without air reconnaissance, with Allied airborne troops dropping here, there, everywhere, with their telephone lines cut by the Resistance, with their army, corps, division, and some regimental commanders at the war game in Rennes, the Germans were all but blind and leaderless. The commander who was most missed was Rommel, who spent the day on the road driving to La Roche-Guyonan -- another price the Germans paid for having lost control of the air; Rommel dared not fly.

Third, the German command structure was a disaster. Hitler's mistrust of his generals and the generals' mistrust of Hitler were worth a king's ransom to the Allies. So were Hitler's sleeping habits, as well as his Wolkenkuckucksheim ideas.

The only high-command officer who responded correctly to the crisis at hand was Field Marshal Rundstedt, the old man who was there for window dressing and who was so scorned by Hitler and OKW. Two hours before the seaborne landings began, he ordered the two reserve panzer divisions available for counterattack in Normandy, the 12th SS Panzer and Panzer Lehr, to move immediately toward Caen. He did so on the basis of an intuitive judgment that the airborne landings were on such a large scale that they could not be a mere deception maneuver (as some of his staff argued) and would have to be reinforced from the sea. The only place such landings could come in lower Normandy were on the Calvados and Cotentin coasts. He wanted armor there to meet the attack.

Rundstedt's reasoning was sound, his action decisive, his orders clear. But the panzer divisions were not under his command. They were in OKW reserve. To save precious time, Rundstedt had first ordered them to move out, then requested OKW approval. OKW did not approve. At 0730 Jodi informed Rundstedt that the two divisions could not be committed until Hitler gave the order, and Hitler was still sleeping. Rundstedt had to countermand the move-out order. Hitler slept until noon.

The two panzer divisions spent the morning waiting. There was a heavy overcast; they could have moved out free from serious interference from Allied aircraft. It was 1600 when Hitler at last gave his approval. By then the clouds had broken up and Allied fighters and bombers ranged the skies over Normandy, smashing anything that moved. The panzers had to crawl into roadside woods and wait under cover for darkness before continuing their march to the sound of the guns.

"The news couldn't be better," Hitler said when he was first informed that D-Day was here. "As long as they were in Britain we couldn't get at them. Now we have them where we can destroy them." He had an appointment for a reception near Salzburg for the new Hungarian prime minister; other guests included diplomats from Bulgaria, Romania, and Hungary. They were there to be browbeaten by Hitler into doing even more for the German war economy. When he entered the reception room, his face was radiant. He exclaimed, "It's begun at last." After the meeting he spread a map of France and told Goering, "They are landing here -- and here: just where we expected them!" Goering did not correct this palpable lie.

Nazi propaganda minister Goebbels had been told of the Allied airborne landings at 0400. "Thank God, at last," he said. "This is the final round."

Goebbels's and Hitler's thinking was explained by one of Goebbels's aides, who had pointed out in an April 10, 1944, diary entry: "The question whether the Allied invasion in the West is coming or not dominates all political and military discussion here.

"Goebbels is afraid that the Allies dare not make the attempt yet. If so, that would mean for us many months of endless, weary waiting which would test our strength beyond endurance. Our war potential cannot now be increased, it can only decline. Every new air raid makes the petrol position worse." It had been galling to the Nazis that the Allies had been able to build their strength in England, untouchable by the Luftwaffe or the Wehrmacht. Now they had come within range of German guns.

But Hitler was more eager to hit London than to fight a defensive war. He had a weapon to do it with, the V-1. It had first been flown successfully on Christmas Eve, 1943; by June 1944, it was almost ready to go to work. The V-1 was a jet-powered plane carrying a one-ton warhead. It was wildly inaccurate (of the 8,000 launched against London, only 20 percent even hit that huge target), but it had a range of 250 kilometers and flew at 700 kilometers per hour, too fast for Allied aircraft or antiaircraft to shoot down.

On the afternoon of June 6, Hitler ordered the V-1 attacks on London to begin. As was so often the case, he was giving an order that could not be carried out. It took six days to bring the heavy steel catapult rigs from their camouflaged dumps to the Channel coast. The attack did not begin until June 12, and when it did it was a fiasco: of ten V-1s launched, four crashed at once, two vanished without a trace, one demolished a railway bridge in London, and three hit open fields.

Still, the potential was there. Fortunately for the Allies, Hitler had picked the wrong target. Haphazard bombing of London could cause sleepless nights and induce terror, but it could not have a direct military effect. Had Hitler sent the V-1s against the beaches and artifical harbors of Normandy, by June 12 jammed with men, machines, and ships, the vengeance weapons (Goebbels picked the name, which was on the mark -- they could sate Hitler's lust for revenge but they could not effect the war so long as they were directed against London) might have made a difference.
