  1. 1:16 So many people mention that the Soviets and Germany divided Poland, but almost nobody mentions the German-Soviet Commerical Pacts of 1939, 1940 and 1941. In 1940 alone, while Germany was bombing London, the Soviet Union supplied them with 820,000 metric tons of oil, 1,500,000 metric tons of grain and 130,000 metric tons of manganese ore. From 1939-1941, Germany's largest trading partner was the USSR. However, in November of 1941, the USA would write the USSR into the Lend-Lease Act and start shipping tons of materials, weapons, equipment and vehicles to the USSR so they could fight off the N*zis.

  2. Macron has always sold himself as a moderate. I think he wants to keep himself as a popular French President, so he's trying to appeal to the French Right-Wing. The French Right-Wing don't like to perceive France as a subordinate to the US and they like authoritarian regimes because they think those like China are better off. Macron is lending them an ear and throwing them a bone because he thinks it will make him more popular and perceived as a moderate. The biggest problem with Democracy, is that elected officials have to appeal to enough voters to get elected and stay elected. But a conversation with an average voter can be... disheartening. So, I think it's easy to understand that some of the problems with democratic leaders stem from us, the citizens. "The voice of the people is the voice of humbug." - William Tecumseh Sherman
