UEFA's Youth League Final (under 19) starts in less than an hour in Geneva.

AZ Alkmaar takes on Hajduk Split

AZ qualified for the final by beating Sporting Lisbon in penalties while Hajduk Split earned their spot by downing AC Milan 3-1. Image
Some trivial interest for @Steve_Sailer here as the Dutch are the tallest nation in Europe overall, but Southern Croatians (Split is in the south) are even taller.
Hajduk's starting 11 is entirely Croatian except for Rokas Pukstas. He was born in Stillwater, Oklahoma to Lithuanian parents, both of whom were professional athletes

AZ Alkmaar's starting eleven have at least five players of African descent:

Owusu-Oduro
Enoch Mayele Kiemba Mastoras
J. Addai
E. Poku
R. Daal (possibly biracial)

For 4 long years the USA had a collective meltdown because some Russians spent $55k on Facebook ads during the 2016 US POTUS Election Campaign (which cost $2.4 Billion overall!).

In 1998, US gov't+billionaires outright bought an election in Slovakia.

Thread:
Interwar Czechoslovakia was seen in the West as an island of liberal multi-party democracy in a sea of dictatorships and authoritarian regimes (Nazi Germany, Austria, Hungary, Poland, USSR).

Its dismemberment at Munich in 1938 was followed by Soviet-era communist one-party rule.
In 1968, the Prague Spring saw a liberalization of Czechoslovak politics and society, but it would not last as the Warsaw Pact (minus Romania) invaded and shut it down.

For the next 21 years, Czechoslovakia would be ruled by a quasi-Stalinist clique.

Meet Samantha Power: a true believer in "humanitarian intervention" who was jointly responsible in destroying Libya while serving on Obama's National Security Council.

She is now head of @USAID and recently visited Budapest, Hungary to destabilize its government.

Thread:
In short, she's a very, very powerful woman who is plugged into the US foreign policy blob:
She did her undergrad at Yale, and then finished Law at Harvard. She also wrote a book called "A Problem From Hell" that took 20th century US governments to task for not intervening to stop genocide abroad (Armenians 1915, Holocaust, Rwanda, etc.)
