The comparison is even more valid with you consider the corrupt and interbred monarchies on each side of the First War with the corrupt and interbred “aristocracies” leading the countries, now.
And our kids will pay the price, while the interbred get rich off of their blood.
Excellent observation on the parallels of interbred monarchies and today’s “aristocracies”. I had similar thoughts when writing my post so I’m glad you jumped in with the way you’ve stated it, especially the part about our progeny.
As some wag once observed: “History doesn’t necessarily repeat itself but it does rhyme quite often.” Here’s hoping the wag is incorrect this time.
