"I have seen war.
I have seen the dead.
I have seen blood running from the wounded.
I have seen cities destroyed.
I have seen children starving.
I HATE #WAR!"
(Franklin D. #Roosevelt, 1936. New York)

Winston #Churchill 1940

we shall fight on the beaches,
we shall fight on the landing grounds,
we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
we shall fight in the hills;
WE SHALL #NEVERSURRENDER

This is your world
These are your people
You can live for yourself today
Or help build tomorrow
for everyone

Das ist deine Welt
Das sind deine Mitmenschen
Du kannst heute für dich leben
Oder für alle die Zukunft von morgen aufbauen

More than once in the past hundred years the U.S. has had the chance to end russian imperialism for good, but it has never seized the opportunity.
The first time was when, in 1919, William Bullitt brought lenin's proposal from Petrograd, 👇
2001-2009.state.gov/r/pa/ho/time/w…
👆for a cease-fire and the fixing of borders in their current state, that is, the division of #russia into five, or more, sovereign states.
For some reason Woodrow Wilson did not even bother to respond to such a remarkable proposal. Moreover, Wilson's famous 👇
👆"Fourteen Points," in which he outlined his vision of an international order after World War I, despite all his promises, were not put into practice.
It was already clear that the terms of the Versailles peace treaty would push #Germany and #russia👇

DIARIO DI GUERRA (GIORNO 76): DRAGHI DA BIDEN, L'ITALIA CON GLI USA

Il grande giorno è arrivato. Alle 20:00 ora italiana Mario #Draghi farà capolino dallo Studio Ovale della Casa Bianca: ad accoglierlo Joe #Biden.
2/13
Incontro ritenuto cruciale a Palazzo Chigi: per ridefinire lo status internazionale italiano, per affermare senza tentennamenti l'appartenenza di Roma al campo atlantico.
Quanto oggi può apparire scontato, ma solo grazie a #Draghi.
3/13
Per quanto ancora diversi politici nostrani fatichino ad accettarlo: è il momento delle scelte.
Anche mostrarsi neutrali, restare a guardare, mostrarsi geopoliticamente prudenti, significa schierarsi. Ma contro l'Alleanza cui ambiremmo di esser parte. Non un dettaglio.

Première année de #Biden dans le sondage d'approbation Gallup qui permet les comparaisons historiques. 1 moyenne faible, il ne devance que #Trump parmi les présidents récents. Mais équivalente à celle de #Clinton avant sa "rouste" de 1994 aux midterms...et sa réélection en 1996.
2. #Biden n'est pas plus #Carter'80 qu'il n'était #Roosevelt'33 il y a un an. C'est le président très âgé d'1 nation politiquement polarisée comme jamais, face à 1 opposition le considérant en majorité tel 1 usurpateur et sans majorité effective au Sénat. Mais qui sait l'avenir?
3. Il y a 2 traits distinctifs au moins dans la dynamique de la présidence #Biden par rapport aux précédents historiques: d'1 part, l'inconnue de l'âge et de sa capacité à se représenter après des midterms sans doute difficiles, pour garder du poids/levier politique...

Seguimos el ciclo artístico dedicado a los #ColoresConNombrePropio para el #TwitterCultural.

Algunos serán rarunos, otros curiosos y otros parte de la historia del arte. El de hoy es el famoso #AliceBlue, el #AzulAlicia, un azul celeste mezclado con un poco de gris.

A principios de siglo XX el presidente de EEUU era Theodore #Roosevelt y su hija mayor, Alice, era la musa de la moda del momento y toda una celebrity mediática, lo más parecido a una princesa estadounidense.

Tenía los ojos azul grisáceo y solía vestir del mismo color.

Sigue👇🏽
Así pues, Alice #Roosevelt Longworth puso de moda los vestidos de color celeste grisáceos que ella misma llevaba habitualmente, y que la gente empezó a llamar #AliceBlue en su honor. Además, resultó un color elegante, sencillo, limpio y muy llevable: perfecto!!!

Le rapprochement avec Berlin et Rome renforce encore les visées expansionnistes

A thread about the many leaders of #Haiti 🇭🇹 and their often unfortunate ends.

“For God’s sake, let us sit upon the ground
And tell sad stories of the death of kings;
How some have been deposed; some slain in war,
Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed…”
1. Toussaint Louverture, “the only negro of unmixed blood ever to exhibit the qualities of a statesman”, “small, ugly, smart, and strong”, was a coachman who came to lead the Haitian revolution. He was abducted by Brunet in 1802 and taken to Fort de Joux, where he died in 1803. ImageImage
2. He was succeeded by Jean-Jacques #Dessalines, who proclaimed the independence of the country and named it #Haiti on Jan 1, 1804. He followed #Napoleon by declaring himself emperor in September and was assassinated two years later in October 1806. ImageImage

Por tener perspectiva, en el último siglo EE UU ha sobrevivido a presidentes que fueron forzados a dimitir por mentir: Nixon, que además se presentó prometiendo cerrar la guerra de Vietnam (veníamos desastre LBJ), y lo que hizo fue intensificar la contienda.
Y para mí no es el peor: #Wilson fue presidente siendo miembro del KKK (hablamos del s.XX), es también el presidente de la Ley Seca que fue un acicate estúpido al contrabando, las mafias y la violencia en todo el país. Un desastre también en lo int. (idealista sin ideales).
Curiosamente el presidente más proto-fascista de USA es uno de los más admirados (con un relato histórico mejor construido): #Roosevelt. Un populista demagogo, ganó las elecciones por el buen uso del Twitter de su época: la radio; luego incumplió todo lo que prometió.

We should ask ourselves what #Decolonization means to Muslims, Jews, Roma, Afro/ Asian Europeans, People of Colour, LGBTIQ community, CSO's, EU institutions, policy makers of #Europe.

We must decolonise our structures that drive discrimination to built an inclusive Europe. Image
#Decolonization is essential to address structural racism in EU Member States.

Toppling statues of criminals & racist colonialists is essential to make Europe future proof just as education on the real colonial history of Europe. #BlackLivesMattters Image
From #Roosevelt to #Churchill to #LeopoldII: they are visible monuments to the greatest crime in history: #Colonialism.

Therefore, we must prioritise #decolonization to topple the invisible monuments that make our society so structurally racist. #Europe

1/ Tutti i #complottisti, da chi nega lo sbarco sulla #Luna ai recenti Qannonari, non riescono a spiegare la principale falla logica delle loro idee balorde: se il #complotto è celato da organizzazioni onnipotenti e letali, com'è che tutti lo conoscono? ⬇️
2/ Le foto usate per negare lo sbarco sulla Luna sono caricate sul sito della #Nasa e Q rilascia indizi sulla sua venuta...
Qualcuno ricorda se #Roosevelt fosse solito alludere in pubblico al Progetto Manhattan per vedere se i nazisti riuscivano a risolvere l'enigma? ⬇️
3/ Questi complotti, segretissimi ma pubblici, esistono solo nelle menti frustrate di persone qualunque che si inventano una favola che li rende speciali

#EU should come out of the state of denial on structural racism & police brutality against minorities.

Condemnations are only meaningful when they are coupled with real action to completely change racial biases in our institutions. #BlakeLivesMatter
@EU_Commission @JuliePascoet
Structural & institutional racism as well as police brutality against minorities are a national security threat to all EU member states.

Our future depends on building a union for all without structural and institutional racism. #blacklivesmatter @vonderleyen @EU_Commission Image
Failing to acknowledge police brutality in the EU a single time by @vonderleyen shows the EU continues its state of denial.

Let's ask the difficult questions on why the EU is structurally and institutionally racist. #BlackLivesMattters EU needs real change and no...

Changing #WorldOrder against #China Post #Corona

Whole world is suffering from #COVID19 which is actually a #Chinesevirus. Thousands of people have lost their lives and still this is not going to stop easily.
1. Officially #US President talked China regarding role of China in tackling this issue. But left dominated media forced him to stop this and call it Novel virus.
2. Unofficially people are questioning #china regarding spread of this virus, china's efforts to put initial cover on it and talk of conspiracy and #BioTerrorism angle.
Many countries have been forced by public outcry to take action against china.

Desde Lima @AmbJohnBolton cita a #Roosvelt: “Es de cobardes criticar desde afuera: el crédito pertenece a aquel hombre quien está en el terreno y mancha su rostro con el polvo, el sudor y la sangre”. Y @jguaido es hoy, ese hombre en el terreno.
#Espaldarazo
@AmbJohnBolton @jguaido “No es el crítico quien cuenta; no sabemos quién tropieza, o dónde el autor de las acciones podría haberlo hecho mejor. El crédito pertenece al hombre que está realmente en la arena, cuya cara está manchada por el polvo, el sudor y la sangre..." #Roosevelt
Merece el crédito "quien se esfuerza valientemente; quién se equivoca, quién se queda corto una y otra vez, porque no hay esfuerzo sin errores y deficiencias. Pero quien lo hace, quien conoce grandes entusiasmos, las grandes devociones; quien se gasta en una causa digna..."

About climbing my 1st 14er, campaigning for @PeteButtigieg at 14,000ft, finding community with strangers, an electrifying moment, and the biggest surprise of my life!
We arrived at the #MtEvans trailhead around 7:30am, the peak was lost in fast moving clouds. #14er
Mt Evans magnets & shirts don't lie, the GOATS! So awesome.
We had goats greet us at the trailhead, we kept our distance &
ogled them with delight. #14ers
#OhWhataBeautifulMorning
#TeamPete, I brought my @playmobil #minime & a #Pete2020 banner for some inspiring photos exploring #AmericatheBeautiful.

L'info de la nuit US: et le @washingtonpost et le @nytimes rapportent que #Trump fut déjà prévenu des pertes AVANT de donner son feu vert initial à des frappes en #Iran et que l'opération était bien en cours avant son revirement.
washingtonpost.com/politics/i-sto…
nytimes.com/2019/06/21/us/…
2) Cette information n'est pas anecdotique: l'#Iran sait désormais que #Trump hésitera toujours à frapper et qu'il y a incontestablement des fractures à l'intérieur de l'administration US autour du président pour savoir comment réagir face aux Iraniens. nbcnews.com/politics/polit…
3) Et ce dévoilement d'1 #Trump hésitant, confus construit 1 image de faiblesse face à l'#Iran et d'autres. Selon le quotidien US le plus lu @USATODAY Th. Roosevelt disait: "Parlez doucement et portez 1 gros bâton, vous irez loin". #Trump fait l'inverse. eu.usatoday.com/story/news/pol…

06/01/2019 - 78 years ago today, the longest-serving #UnitedStates #President, #Franklin D. #Roosevelt (#FDR) addressed the 77th #Congress with his "#Four #Freedoms" speech with the intent to shift #US #foreign #policy from that of #neutrality to #interventionist.
#FDR promoted the idea that the people of the world, in all nations, shared entitlement to four freedoms: that of the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear.
#FDR is arguably one of the most 'successful' #US Presidents. Some would argue that on the basis of his numerous social policies such as 'the New Deal'. Others, however, would argue that his role during the second world war was more prevalent to his success & everlasting legacy.
