What does any of this have to do with a German tank burning up anyway?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Isn't it common knowledge, that at the time the plan was publically known about ?

Who the fuck are you?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

An ACW or WWII hijack is always appropriate.

While Martim's posts are comedic gold, how an American can argue with a straight face that they respect the right of self determination by one portion of a sovereign nation against the will of the larger portion of said sovereign nation frankly beggars belief.

The principle of self-determination is not nearly that simple.

I doubt most Americans (or anyone) who serisouly thinks about what "self-determination" means, and under what circumstances it is a valid reason for action, be it violent or political, would ever argue that it is any kind of foundational principle that trumps the practical realities that exist.

So, in your opinion, was Woodrow Wilson a hypocrit, a demagogue, or just a dumbass?  Or a combination?

In regards to what? Did Woodrow Wilson express some kind of unilateral, foundational right to self-determination that extended to everyone, everywhere, under any and all circumstances?

No, just to whites.

The plan of the US Secretary of the Treasury?  It was leaked to the press and used by the German propagandists, yes.  I have never seen anything that indicates that the German people paid it much heed, though - their belief in official news was not high.

I thought Silva was crazy socialist from Portugal? Now he's a Russian communist? :unsure:

EDIT: Just got to his explanation, how Trotskyist of him.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

The sad thing is that Europe is full of Martims.

Can't we keep this one, daddy?  He's ever so much smarter and more fun that that other, ill-Fated troll.
