  1.  @Moshe_Dayan44  George W. Bush started wars of aggression... like Hitler. Bush built Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo bay to arrest people without a fair trial and then torture them with the most barbaric methods known... Just like Hitler. USA blackmailed and threatened other countries - including their European allies and Bush said "you are either with us, or against us". Bush dismantled habeas corpus - just like Hitler. Bush created the Patriot act that took away peoples right to privacy by letting the NSA read all Americans email conversations - just like the East German dictatorship took away their citizens privacy and read their private mails and bugged their phones. Bush did allow his troops to commit war crimes - Hitler also allowed his troops to murder civilians unpunished. USA plundered occupied territories - Nazi Germany plundered conquered land. Bush did try to silence the media by only allowing himself to be interviewed by TV channels and newspapers that were uncritical of him, while critics never got a seat at the white house to ask him questions or hold him accountable on behalf of the American people. Bush treasury secretary Hank Paulson threatened the Congress with declaring martial law if they did not give away 700 billion of tax payer money to him and his criminal banker buddies that had created fraud and crashed the economy and caused the financial crisis - He committed blackmailing, treason and behaved like a fascist like Mussolini that wants unlimited power without any accountability. Bush did push for online censorship in the name of fighting copyright infringement, terrorism and child porn... but in reality did he only want to rob kids of their money so the copyright industry could get richer and silence Assange so he would not expose war crimes US troops had committed. So are there many similarities between George W Bush, Tony Blair and the EU on one hand, and Nazi-Germany on the other? Defiantly. Bush America and Europe under the EU are evil empires. When I see the EU flag I think of Nazi-Germany. The EU hates freedom of speech. Article 13 is an evidence of that. And so are their blasphemy laws in Austria. And their censorship of the press https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3823706/European-human-rights-chiefs-orders-British-press-NOT-reveal-terrorists-Muslims.html The censorship of fake news in Germany shows us that the Germans in 2020 know as little about democracy as the Germans in 1935. And when the people vote in the wrong way, then the politicians in the ignore their will - as they did when the French and the Dutch down-voted the EU constitution. And when countries vote for governments that aren't pro-EU, then the EU invades those places and put a pro-EU government in power like they did in Italy and Greece. So the EU firmly believes in the Brezhnev Doctrine. You can call the EU and George W. Bush's America for many things, but "democracies" is not of those words.

  4. Machine guns, barbed wire and better artillery ended the old style of warfare. Walking in a line formation with flags and drum beats was no longer practical. A machine gun could kill 100 men in a minute if you would try that. So now you had to get uniforms that made it difficult for enemy machine gunners to see and aim at you. So the British that had been fighting in Africa had abandoned their red white uniforms and began using khaki colored uniforms that blended in with the terrain in South Africa. And the Germans had been abandoning their old blue Prussian uniforms (and turquoise Bavarian uniforms and green Saxon) and starting to use grey uniforms which blended in excellent with European forests and were by some American observers considered the best "camouflage" uniform in the world in 1914. Some countries did however not abandon their old national colors, because they felt too much national pride to do so. France did keep their red-blue uniforms and their red caps. And the result was of course a bloodbath when the war started. France suffered gigantic losses of hundreds of thousands of men in 1914. An entire generation of young males died. The uniform was soon abandoned for another uniform that was less colorful, but much damage had already been done by then. Northern France had also fallen into German hands with its textile and dye industry, so France had to satisfy itself with a crappy blue low quality uniform of for the rest of the war, because there was simply no other colors available. Soon it was also realized that the old hats were outdated. The Germans quickly learned to cover up their pickelhaube with cloth to not have shining bling-bling giving away their soldiers position to enemy gunners. And the French replaced their caps with helmets that at least gave their soldiers heads some protection from stones and shrapnel that German howitzers and field guns threw at them. Thousands of lives were saved this way and losses from artillery fire was quickly cut in half.
