2020s Agreement -1815, 1945, Yalta, 1991

[August1991]

Tear down this wall!

Around the world, we ordinary people want you politicians to agree.

[August1991]

In summer 1914, an elite -  politicians/diplomats/bureaucrats/military guys f*cked things up.

For the next 30 years, from 1914-1945, ordinary people....

I fear that our current "elite" is about to do the same for us - in the 2020s. 

[August1991]

In the 1990s, it was easy to travel. See one another. We could talk to one another - the Internet existed!

But since 2001, it is harder to travel. More checks.

And since 2020, it is hard to travel, hard to talk.

Moonbox,

I don't think there were  "two" world wars. To me, there was a tremendous time of trouble between 1914-1945.

This period in European history should be seen as a whole, a single disaster. Without so-called WWI, there would be no WWII.

This is how modern historians view the period between 1789-1815 (French Revolution/Napoleonic Wars)

This is how students remember the Thirty Years War. (!618-1648 - the Swedes intervened in 1630.)

No one remembers the Swedes in the Thirty Years War anymore than someone in 2341 will remember that America got involved in WWII.

=====

At present, in the 2020s, I fear that our current elite/smart guys/bureaucrats/elected officials are f*cking this up

In 1890, and in 1780 - the cataclysm was avoidable.
