Too many freepers do not understand the significance of history. 1947 Saudi Arabia wanted the US to protect them as British power wanes. The US on the Arab streets was viewed favorably then their colonial European masters. Today the average Arab hates us, why?? In 1980 Soviet Union fell, the average Russian hated the Communists and love America. Today the average Russian hates our guts, what happen? Sametime China converted to capitalism, the average Chinese loved everything American, now the average Chinese on the street hates us, what the hell happen??? Until we understand our own misteps in foreign policy (GOP and Dem) we will always have wars and arms races that could have been prevented. Opportunities for a Pan American peace squandered, result wars and more wars till the US treasury is empty and bankrupted like today. How we inadvertently helped the EU di8smantle Yugoslavia, played the role in the rise of Putin Russia and the Ukraine crisis of today and the final straw that broke Chinese US good will and ended up creating an alliance between Russia and China (largest land mass and largest population) at a time we are at war with the Islamic world (another 1.1 billion people).
The siege of Vienna precipitated the Diet of Augsburg (AD 1530) at which was promulgated the foundational Lutheran Symbol, the Augsburg Confession.
Therefore:
Lutheran Ping!
Be rooted in Christ!
The victory was erased and reversed by the traitor Bill Clinton, Weaseley Clark, and the GOP numbnuts who supported the War on Serbia on behalf of the New Caliphate.
