René Descartes over de Nederlandse Republiek.






Like Count Arnau said, we did for about 2 decades, to be exact from 1820 to 1844 (our independence year). Haitians-blacks where very racist (something liberals "forgot" about) and killed and/ or enslaved countless of whites civilians of Spanish descent in our side as well as French and other European Dominicans back then. It wasn't just one battle, but many, especially after our independence ( Feb 27th, 1844), and they are very commemorated all through the DR and diaspora and very forgotten in the rest of the world.
Here's the most important battle and the defining one as a turning point (March 30th) Battle of Santiago (1844)
We where wiser, better organized, smarter and had no mercy !
The Red Army did had the greatest impact on the war and till today you can still see the remains of some of its influence / legacy.
Russian Federation is a beast waiting to be awaken once again, but like you said modern Russians seem to be in a state of "sleep" today!.


Oh it still exists today. It's called the blue army.I don't think a European country can match Russia's military power. Russia has the largest tank army, mechanized force, and air force. About 20,000 modern battle tanks, more than 4,000 war planes, and over 1 million soldiers currently in active service. The Dutch army nor German army combined even make one tenth of that. And not to mention the countless nuclear bombs they have that could level all of Europe overnight if they felt like it. Russia's military is effectively Europe's largest and most potent military... and ironically its budget is actually the largest out of all Euro countries.


5 Stages of Grief:
Denial: The initial stage: "It can't be happening." Maniot is on top of me.
Anger: "Why ME? It's not fair?!" (either referring to God, oneself, or Maniot perceived, rightly or wrongly, as "responsible")
Bargaining: "Just let me stay to post another day Maniot, please."
Depression: "I'm so sad, why are you picking on me Maniot?"
Acceptance: "It's going to be OK." There is always Skadi.



''Es pas tard
son encar aicí
nòsti chamins d’un viatge
l’èrba, lhi roieras
per lo boscatge
lhi champs a l’adrech
e lhi muralhets cubèrts
dal braçabòsc''
