That's no politician, that's putting your country first.
Last Thursday's New Madame secretary episode was a pretty intense heart
throbbing set of events, where Madame Secretary, the president
and his chief of staff were forced to find a solution to stop a high
US official from over throwing Iran. All paths were blocked
and Madame secretary made the difficult decision to go to
Iran secretly, to warn them of the coup but she was nearly killed in the
cross fire.
I really like the way she handles political situations in general, so
much so I wish all politicians could be like this, sadly the reality is
harsher than can be imagined; as most politicians don't think about others
before a probable situation is about to occur and only think
about their own political future of gaining more power.
For example the Calais Migrant crisis where people from war torn
countries are making their way to Europe; its common sense that people are
going to flock to a better environment, as they cannot change the
circumstance of their own country and Europe is on their door step. This is where
people trafficking comes in, as they want a better life, they are
willing to be extorted for money and in return transported from North
Africa to Europe.
Security on the Euro tunnel entrance should have been upgraded when we knew the outcome to the Arab Spring and the cancer in Syria and
Iraq flared up. On a overall basis this European Migration
crisis shows how ineffective the European union works, as power is split
between each country with Germany at the helm as we saw in the Greek
Bailout.
We Europeans did not see this migrant crisis coming at all did we? How
pathetic we are in thinking that problems are going to sought themselves out.
Wake up and get a grip. If we caused something that sets off crisis after
crisis or if fireworks go off on the international stage that cannot be stopped
then we should be the ones to make it right. We have faced worse, Hitler and
Napoleon amongst thousands of others examples. It boils down to first world
countries because no one else is going to do it and if we don't do it, then
equally painful consequences as that cancer in Iraq and Syria will
occur again, again and again in different forms in different places around the
world. If you can stop them types of situations around the world you're not
a politician, you’re putting your country first.
What you see today is machine politics and this is what it does in
today's world.
Watching mafioso on TV is such a guilty pleasure!
The last true detective episode was one story of many, of how a Mafioso
is gambling with everything but most importantly his own life. I understand you
need an extreme attitude when living in a world of crime, as
that's how dynasties use to squabble over land to more become powerful.
Like everything it can either send him sky high into a world of wealth, power
and riches or he can fall on his own sword. All I know is it's going to be high
octane, adrenaline rushing and intense final episode to watch.
It was heart breaking to see Taylor Kitsch/Paul Woodrugh being shot
in the back by a coward and then for him to realize in these moments
before being put down permanently, that the end was so very near
as he resisted, because he would not be able to love, cherish and adore is
unborn child.#
I have just seen an advert for the final True detective episode. WOW!! :)
My History
tip for the day
One of the
main causes of WW1 was Kaiser Wilhelm II, leaving no time to speak of him
anymore because there is not point talking about someone who ruined Germany,
let’s talk about Frederick III, his father, who knew what he wanted to do for
Germany.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nikolaus Karl nicknamed Fritz was born on the
18th October 1831. He was Crown Prince of Germany for 27 years, was a highly
decorated and celebrated officer who fought in the Second
Schleswig, Austro-Prussian and Franco-Prussian wars.
However he hated warfare and being extremely liberal, his father William I,
German Emperor banned him from expressing his opinion and voice as he
feared of him expressing liberal views. William I was a Jingoist, which is
conquer!, conquer! conquer!
Fritz married Victoria, Princess Royal the first born of Queen Victoria.
They both looked to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert for admiration and desired
to follow in there footsteps in making liberalism thrive in Germany. Wilhelm II set the tone for Germany being cut up in his Premiership but with Frederick III on throne he would Germany on the path of slower and solitude expansion, whereas Wilhelm II ideas were I want Germany's "place under the sun". Sadly Frederick III died of throat cancer in
1888 having only reigned for 100 days, his wife traveled all over Germany to
promote Liberalism but with no power she failed.
When you say "Germany"
today you automatically think of Hitler, The Third Reich and less commonly the
German Empire, The Second Reich, Wilhelm II and how much death
and destruction they both caused. Most of this
originates from Wilhelm II, so when you look at Germany today
and you see this, a country with 357,168 Kilometers squared/137,847 square
miles:
Then think of the likely hood of
the peace that Frederick III would have brought as he was nothing
like Wilhelm II. If he'd of lived Germany would look like this today with
a twist.
In the long run The Austro-Hungarian Empire was a dying empire as it
composed of Germans, 20% Magyars (Hungarians), 13% Czechs, 10% Poles,
8% Ruthenians (Ukranians), 5% Croats, 4% Serbs, 4% Slovaks, 3% Slovenes, 3%
Italians. In the far future I could see the main areas in read, in the image
below, becoming apart of Germany not through force though. They Austrians
wanted to join the Weimar Republic after WW1 but the allies stopped them.
There are so
many different types of peoples that independence would have been
inevitable, it's nature. On the outcome of the Austrian-Hungarian
Empire splitting up I would expect the Habsburgs to at least
hold on to German Austria, as that is where they historically came from going
back to 1278. While holding onto Bohemia and Silesia as they are German after all.
In this
scenario I am talking about German Austria becoming apart of the German
Empire, there are many circumstances in which Austrian-Hungarian Empire could
fall apart, if WW1 were averted, you have to use your imagination. War,
uprisings, state collapse, etc.
Finally think
of Germany being 659,168.54 kilometers squared/254,506 square miles
which would rank it as the 41st biggest country in the world. Currently it
is the 63rd biggest and most important of all it would have comprised of four
Kingdoms, six Grand Duchies, five Duchies, seven Principalities, three free
Hanseatic cities and the imperial territory of Alsace-Lorraine.
The Habsburgs
Emperors of Austria openly admitted before the unification of Germany
that they wanted to be included, but Bismarck shut the door on them, and
maybe but this is a long shot but maybe the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg
and the Principality of Liechtenstein might have considered being
apart of this grand form of German nation as well.
It would have
been a truly beautiful nation as it would had 25 different monarchies and
three different types of governments. (Free cities, Imperial
territory and Imperialistic nations)
Truly no
words can describe it................
