The true end of an era: BBC - Last Battle of Britain Pilot Dies. I'm pretty sure I've seen Mr. Hemingway in documentaries on the Battle of Britain. Nobody said it better than #Churchill: so much was owed by so many to so few. And Mr. Hemingway was one of the few.

“Much of what the U.S. has given Ukraine were obsolescent weapons that would have been otherwise been thrown away. As everyone in the room in fact knew, what Zelens'kyi was wearing was meant as an expression of solidarity with a people at war. It was not so unlike what Churchill wore in the White House in 1942.”
—Timothy Snyder, Antisemitism in the Oval Office

‘You cannot reason with a tiger when your head is in its mouth!

When are we going to learn this lesson?!’ - These words of Winston #Churchill now more than ever characterise the relations between #Ukraine as a state, #Europe and #Trump.

‘How many more dictators do you have to appease... give them new privileges’

Let's remember these apt words when some yet again want to try to appease a dictator.

See that sculpture behind Trump & Musk? That’s Winston Churchill, & Trump put it there. And see this photo of Churchill at the White House in WWII? He’s not wearing a suit.

Trump & Vance’s betrayal of Zelensky & democracy is as if Roosevelt had said to Churchill: sign a cease fire now & let Hitler & Mussolini keep all of Europe & in return we’ll stop helping you & you have to give us your coal reserves.

#Infrastructure in British #India:
"Natural drainage of Bengal was disturbed due to construction of a network of #railway embankments resulting in formation of poorly drained “compartments” in different areas of Bengal. This led to excessive silting, damaged crop production, increased chance of flooding and created stagnant water pockets that were apt for water-borne diseases like cholera and malaria."

Cultural India · The Bengal Famine of 1943 – Causes, Effects, DeathsThe Bengal famine of 1943 was one of the most devastating famines in history and claimed approximately 2.1-3 million lives.

“Outside the storms of war may blow and the lands may be lashed with the fury of its gales, but in our own hearts this Sunday morning there is peace. [..] Our consciences are at rest… We are fighting to save the whole world from the pestilence of Nazi tyranny and in defense of all that is most sacred to man."

Winston Churchill, Sept 3, 1939 England declares war on Germany
