Mainstream media’s presstitutes and palace historians have created a make-believe world of Britain at bay in 1940. ‘Britain alone stood guard to prevent German ambitions to take over the world.’ That is pretty rich coming from the country that had over the centuries invaded all but 22 of over 195 nations.
Sweden and much of NATO is facing a growing shortage of fighter pilots, according to Dagens Nyheter.
