France had more tanks, including heavy tanks than Germany at the start of the war. A couple of countries could have tag teamed Germany before they attacked. But the head in the sand attitude stopped them. I will grant that that same attitude kept their tactical thinking behind the times too. But an early concerted effort would likely have ended der fuhrer's plans.

Russia is not low hanging political fruit. Politicians don't know how to do anything that requires commitment or being accountable. Helping Ukraine, including shipping real weapons systems means taking a stand with consequences. And what they refuse to recognize is that when Russia is at the Polish border they'll be asking how it got that far. They actively forget that by ignoring what is going on, they (Ukraine) will eventually become NATO. Better to stop it early, unlike in the 1930s. Maybe Germany will actually do something more than have conversations on the phone when the Berlin Wall is being rebuilt. This is not hyperbole. It should be readily apparent that Putin wants the Soviet Union back. I wonder when Neville Merkel or Barack Chamberlain will get their heads out of their asses.

Idiots who think everything must be spelled out in detail, nothing left to the imagination. Like the difference between a beautiful woman wearing lingerie and a classless stripper who sticks her rancid snatch in your face. It's why sarcasm is wasted there. The American masses can no longer seem to think, and it's growing worse year by year. It's why science is dying there, and people are becoming radicalized fundamentalists (insert faith here) allowing their church leaders to think for them. Thank Christ (a euphemism if I may be permitted) that there are still some who can understand and appreciate implicit endings and...

The very first thing you need to do is describe on the front page of your Website what your project is

In non-technical terms. Everyday language an average computer user can understand, free of jargon. More than one or two sentences, with pictures. Think extra long user story written by an end user who is going to use the output, not the one installing it. You can have as many other web pages you wish to get esoteric with.
