Before Mussolini went over to Hitler, he was working with the French, particularly Foreign Minister Laval, to contain Germany as the Italians did not want them to annex Austria.
They actually had a plan in place where Italy and Yugoslavia would march on Vienna pre-emptively. /1
The deal was that the French would station a brigade of their forces in Northern Italy to help them if need be, while a brigade of Italian soldiers would be stationed in France along the German border, ready to go into the Rhineland with French forces /2
The English fucking around when it came to the Italians and Abyssinia ended this, and Laval blamed the Bongs (as did many French rightists and conservatives) for losing Italy to the Germans who they were trying to contain /fin
The quickest, easiest, and most efficient way to open the doors for the mass adoption of over white identity politics in the USA is to do what Nikole-Hannah Jones (@nhannahjones) is doing here.

After decades of American Whites becoming less racist towards Blacks (and Americans are very, very tolerant compared to others in relative terms), the recent switch back to hyper-racialist politics does not bode well for the country's future.

Here we see her deploy the ol' bait and switch tactic:
"You have nothing to worry about and your fears are unfounded", says Jones.
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.
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
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.
