    History The Responsibility of Emperor Hirohito and Japanese Apologies/Reparations for Crimes Against Humanity

    Sadly, the Post-War French Government was just not communist enough to be left to hang. And thus it was more important to prop them up in order to weaken the PCF and secure Western Europe, than to support an ostensibly communist (remember, Ho was actually a member of the PCF before the war...

    Newt Gingrich learns that you can’t mention George Soros on Fox News

    I'm not denying that, and is the reason why I think that Soros' deals with certain political players across the globe should not be something to be hidden, but to be brought to light and treated as what they are. Corruption.

    Newt Gingrich learns that you can’t mention George Soros on Fox News

    The problem with cutting him off is that it empowers the idiots who see Jews behind every bad thing that has happened to mankind since the dawn of time...

    ASOIAF/GOT The Komneniad: A Very Byzantine ISOT.

    One of Tywin's deepest flaws is his blindness towards the defects on Cersei and Jaime. Not to say that he thinks that they are perfect (that would be a stupid position to hold) but he seems incapable of comprehending until pretty late in the game in canon that neither Cersei nor Jaime are...

    Who else dreads this year?

    We had some strong protests at various points the last year, but they usually fizzled out after a week or two (our left-wing radicals don't have such a ready network of rioters as BLM/Antifa in the US, or so it seems so far) so here's hoping for that to happen again... Although the fact that...

    Who else dreads this year?

    Colombian here, a small update... Last week we've started to have another round of protests (a group of policemen murdered a man in what was supposedly an attempt at enforcing semi-quarantine rules but seems to have been a personal vendetta disguised as the former) and while the violence has...

    Author's Note: This update is from Cersei's POV, take some things with a grain of salt Cersei Lannister watched from the balcony, her eyes set on the harbor of Smyrna. Theodora...

    ASOIAF/GOT The Komneniad: A Very Byzantine ISOT.

    The Emperor and the Patriarch of Constantinople have figured that most official expansion will be focused eastward both for the Empire and for the Church, so as to not alienate the juggernaut that is Westeros (As in, if Westeros were to fully unite to smack down the Empire, they likely could)...

    Isaakios is the last of John II Komnenos' children that was born both OTL and in this TL. He has a younger brother in both. In OTL his brother was Manuel Komnenos, who succeeded their father... We shall see what happens

    Threadmarks: Chapter 17 (AKA: Calendar Boogaloo)

    And having returned in victory from Volantis, Basileus Ioannes had a Triumph held, and a monument was erected in memory of the two fallen princes. And in those days did a delegation come, led by one Kevan Lannister, to propose a marriage between the Imperial House and the House of Lannister. And...

    ASOIAF/GOT The Komneniad: A Very Byzantine ISOT.

    Yep. Let's just say that Benerro's regime that managed to basically scare the Triarchs into abandoning the Outer City, was not too kind to anyone that did not fervently swear by R'hllor
