I met to post the below today, but got entangled with the Titanic.
June 22, 1941: Three million German troops invaded Russia, launching Operation Barbarossa. Mobile killing units began the mass murder of Soviet Jews. German military policies led to the deaths of millions of Soviet POWs and civilians. It was the largest land offensive in human history, with over 10 million combatants taking part lasting 6 months, 2 weeks and 2 days. The operation, code-named after Frederick Barbarossa ("red beard"), a 12th-century Holy Roman emperor and German king, put into action Nazi Germany's ideological goal of conquering the western Soviet Union to repopulate it with Germans.

The German map is to be expected. You show a German a map of the Ukraine, and they have flashbacks to Operation Barbarossa and start fantasizing about how to invade it. LOL.
This is why Putin's codename in German is "Einkesselungmeister" (containment master).
June 22, 1942: The Pledge of Allegiance is formally adopted by US Congress.
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
12 years later "under God" was added on June 14, 1954 by Pres Eisenhower.
Removal of the Bellamy salute occurred on December 22, 1942, when Congress amended the Flag Code language first passed into law on June 22, 1942.

What event happened between the time that the top (2) photograph's was taken and the bottom one? Are you sure that you were told the truth about the "facts" surrounding that event? How do you know? What would it be like if that event turned out differently?
June 22, 1973: Richard Nixon and Leonid Brezhnev signed the Agreement on the Prevention of Nuclear War, committing to "refrain from the threat or use of force" against each other, allies, and other states "in circumstances which may endanger international peace and security."

A Memo PDF from the CIA's Western Hemisphere Chief stating Nixon authorized $10 million to prevent Chilean Marxist Salvador Allende from coming to power in 1970, or to unseat him at a later date if he won. The project was codenamed FUBELT. On 9/11/73 a military coup d'état commenced, and later that day Allende committed suicide in his office...And then the country got free helicopter rides courtesy of General Augusto Pinochet.

The new Net Zero battleground: Pylons. The NIMBYs Revolt!
"National Grid estimates that, over the next seven years, five times as many transmission lines will need to be built than in the past three decades combined." At a cost of £54 billion.
Why Brits are going to start fighting about pylons
The Pathway to 2030 Holistic Network Design (HND) is a major step for Great Britain in delivering cheap, clean energy from offshore wind. Yep, sure.
ROFLMAO!!!!
I think most of the net zero brigades have little understanding of physics, electricity or economics and so far out of touch with citizens they might as well be aliens from another world.

Quote:Town Car DiplomacyI wonder how thoroughly the KGB swept it for bugs before letting Brezhnev use it.
Brezhnev wanted to go for a ride.
Nixon recorded the scene in his Memoirs:
He got behind the wheel and motioned me into the passenger seat. The head of my Secret Service detail went pale as I climbed in and we took off down one of the narrow roads that run around the perimeter of Camp David….
At one point there is a very steep slope with a sign at the top reading, ‘Slow, dangerous curve’….
Brezhnev was driving more than 50 miles an hour as we approached the slope. I reached over and said, ‘Slow down, slow down,’ but he paid no attention. When we reached the bottom there was a squeal of rubber as he slammed on the breaks and made the turn….
‘You are an excellent driver,’ I replied. ‘I would never have been able to make that turn at the speed at which we were traveling.’
Diplomacy is not always an easy art.
A film clip of the day’s events here shows Nixon presenting the car to Brezhnev as the two speed off.
