I am not sure Napoleon was ever really himself after the Russian campaign. What he expected after his victory at Borodino and what really turned out was very different. Expecting the Russians to surrender only having them chase him all the way back to France may have put some doubt in his mind. Maybe that doubt is what affected his decisions at a place like Waterloo. I know in sports that if you loose your confidence it can be hard to get back. I imagine the same could be said about war generals. Just a thought. Enjoyed the post.

naaa
he’s from PQ. He can’t know anything about a strong federalism :evil: -
Uninformed …. especially about the Netherlands. Some things are true, but it seems the writer has not been in Europe since 2002.
And i love how no solutions to the underlying problem is proposed: Europe is aging rapidly. We need “fresh blood”. That must -at least for a time- come from immigration, and immigration means from different cultures. But, let’s better ignore that and call all dutch people gay and drugged up. … and best: expect that the response of Europe is nicely discriminating between hard core idiots and smart persons.
Allow black-and-white thinking only for yourself, and use this oversimplification to define a problem… then lack a solution but offer some more insults… very nicely done.Europe has dealt with Islam for more than a millenium. The challenges change, but we will not lose to it.
What was that about the boy crying wolf? What was it that the repus will win in future because they have won in the past?
If you use these two “arguments”, why not use it everywhere - and that includes here - and shut up.PS: there is no"bicultural" Europe.
