Javorsky indicted Nixon.

As I said, make some noise. Encourage leaks of the redacted elements of the report behind the scenes if he has to.

BE LOUDER

[Nintex]

Remember when the #resistance called for people to get out in the streets in case Trump fired Rosenstein and appointed a different AG that could fire Mueller?

I do 


Also the redacted bits have been redacted because of ongoing cases or revealing methods used by the intelligence agencies to gather evidence.
Revealing those redacted bits to the public would hurt the intelligence agencies and ongoing investigations more than it would Trump. They didn't redact anything damaging to Trump that was in the report.
Such as people ignoring his orders or him saying: "I'm fucked" when the investigation started. What exactly are they expecting to see behind those black bars?

Here is my excerpt. The title and question is 'to what extent was British foreign policy affected by the second world war 1945-60?'



The Korean War was the first Proxy conflict of the cold war. A proxy conflict is an armed conflict between two countries or groups that is instigated and controlled by other countries not directly implicated in the conflict. British foreign policy and military strength played a key role in the military and diplomatic processes of the conflict.

Korea had been divided between an American sponsored government in the South, and a Soviet endorsed state in the North following the end of the Second World War. North Korea attacked the South in June 1950 with the backing of communist China and the Soviet Union. The US and UK strongly condemned this act of aggression and gained United Nations endorsement for a western military response.

British foreign policy on the Korean war was fluid due to the British government’s competing priorities regarding confronting communist aggression. The British government strongly condemned communist aggression, and the complicity of the Soviets and Chinese. However, British foreign policy by its nature prioritised Europe over other commitments such as Korea. This policy dates back to the Second World War and the UK-US chiefs of staff policy of Europe first. The British thought the Korean conflict a possible misdirection by the communists to divert Western strength and attention while the communists launched an assault to overrun Western Europe or Western territories in the Middle East. They also feared that if the British did not stand with the Americans against communism in Korea, they would remove their focus from Europe to Asia or back to isolationism. Yet London also did not share the American loathing of communist China, whom the United States feared was encouraging North Korea under orders from Moscow. The British response to Korea was therefore multi-pronged. They dispatched substantial military forces in order to show willing to the Americans and support the United Nations in Korea. At the same time, they were diplomatically urging on Washington their perspectives regarding communist aggression and the relative importance of Europe and Asia. The British government played an important role in persuading the US government that the escalation of the war including the use of nuclear weapons was not in Western interests.

British troops played a distinguished role in the Korean conflict, such as in the battle of the Imjin river in 1951, and the defence of hill 731 in 1953. One historian comment in relation to the Imjin battle. “The most political army in the world had encountered the least political and was savagely mauled to gain its few sterile miles of rock and paddy” (Hastings, 1987) The commitment grew to 12,000 soldiers and a substantial naval presence. The Korean War displayed the strengths and limitations of British power in the post Second World War world. Britain was able to display substantial diplomatic and military strength in a theatre far from home and put considerable diplomatic weight on the Americans when it came to decision and policy making. On the other hand, Britain struggled to maintain its commitment in Korea.

You think?

[Nintex]

During the cold war the very nature of war changed. No longer did nations seek to conquer other nations, nor did they try to gain natural resources. The new battlefield was the battlefield of ideologies. One one side of the confict the communist revolution was still spreading across the globe. What had failed in Western Europe soon took hold in Asia. From former colonies new nations rose and with it new wars. We called them 'Proxy' wars. The eternal conflict between the west and the east. Capitalism and freedom vs. Communism and slavery. Winston Churchill famously said between two glasses of scotch: "Marxism has only roared it's ugly head twice." . "In heaven where it is not needed and in hell where it is already in practice." . The west at that point was still recovering from the second world war. But already there were signs of the next big war to come. People feared it would all kick off in Asia. When North Korea invaded South Korea with the help of communist China.

The goal of the communists was to unite the divided states into a new communist stronghold that could serve as a launchpad to invade other Asian countries. Still shocked from the outcome of a nuclear attack on Japan only a few years earlier both sides of the conflict tried to avoid such costly mistakes. Yet, one general defied all others when he met with US President Harry S. Truman. His name: Douglas McArthur. McArthur had won his stripes in World War II. Some say he played soccer with the skulls of his victims. Others claim that he shot every POW he ever met on sight. Whatever the case, Douglas was a true iron born general. He pleaded with the President to use nuclear weapons. Not just to destroy North Korea but to also deter the Chinese who were supplying the North Koreans. "We have to nuke the whole lot!" he blasted. Truman sighed. As the man who had once ordered such an attack he didn't want to be responsible for the end of the world. He fired Douglas but that left the US army in a weakened state. In need of a hero who could save it but this would not be the era of American Heroism.

The courageous British forces of her majesty the queen were ready to pick up the mantle. Tallee-oh and with a smile on their faces the men of the 35th Armored Division went to Asia to fight the communists. The reasoning for this was simple. South Korea was a domino. If South Korea fell so would other nations. Communism would spread like a plague and enslave the planet. The Brits soon arrived in Asia to help the freedom loving US army. They brought with them tea and biscuits which pacified the population. In modern times children in South Korea are given biscuits at the start of every school day. To remind them of the sacrifice of the 35th. And what a sacrifice it was! The 35th fought valliantly against the communist hordes. Beating them back. The communists would send thousands if not millions of troops to overwhelm South Korea but the Brits always had a cunning plan. One such plan was enacted during the battle for Hill 731.

Much of the communists could not read maps and had to use signs to find their way across South Korea. The brits had not fortified Hill 731. They had used the wood and other materials to build signs instead. An elaborate labyrinth of arrows that said "Hill 731 Dadoing!" which rougly translated to: "Hill 731 is that way!" lead the North Koreans back into China instead. "We watched the sorry bastards march in a circle for a day!" Brigadier Price remembered. "Some day they will write a song about the Commie March!" Private Hastings added. What was a jolly good time for the Brits ended in military disaster for the North Koreans. Not knowing that their forces were misled the commanders of the 74th Infantry Division and other units were seen as deserters. As is custom in communist armies the order was to shoot traitors on sight. The North Koreans and Chinese shot over 2 million of their own including many of the officers. Hill 731 had not been taken. And the chaps had shown the Americans how to defeat this formidable foe. A monument to remember the battle can be visited to this day. Its engraving learns us a valuable lesson about this conflict: "Always use your brain not your brawns!"

This took me all but 5 minutes.

I'm also pretty sure chunks of it are just factually wrong especially with the way the sentences are written. But I'll let Kirblar, well known Korean War expert author, handle that over on ResetERA.com.

Regarding the most obvious cuts, since that's supposedly why we wanted to see this (wink wink), he could just use The British or British every time after he originally mentioned British government/foreign policy rather than repeating it like he's trying to pad his word count until it sounds unnatural.

Youngest is Tressa at 18. Everyone else is 20+, and there are a couple of 30+'s (Cyrus, Olberic).

Yeah, I was as surprised as you about Tressa; I thought she was supposed to be something like 16. But all the others are clearly adults; I don't get how you could think otherwise, tbh.





Hm, I guess Therion looks young, too. Wiki says he's 22 though.

Eh, as a counter-example, I've been with the same woman for eighteen years and our relationship's been semi-open for five. Doing great here.

So, I am bisexual. My wife is not, nor does she have the desire to fool around with other guys. I am free to engage in a limited number of sex acts with other people, but only men, and only following a strict set of guidelines.

Since she's not getting anything out of it - other than the stories, which she enjoys greatly - I'd describe it as "semi-open." It's not an official term or anything.

I mean duh this was the outcome.
