Ping.
His words express quite eloquently, my own thoguhts on the subject.
WW2 was not the most evil or fateful event of the 20th century.
It shouldn’t have happened, indeed, wouldn’t have happened, had it not been for WW1.
WW1 destroyed an orderly world and set in motion all the evils that have bedeviled mankind since - the rising of Communism, Fascism, Naziism, WW2, genocides, The Cold War, expanding statism and its suffocating bureaucracy in the West, the metastising problem of Islamism and the cancer of Cultural Marxism that is eating the West alive.
Two minutes of silence are not enough to remember the best and brightest lights, the favorite sons, of the nations that bled them - and lost their futures as a result.
