Anymore, now we. Will support everything from the air and a repeater, so we are really creating now the best special forces and creating completely new tactics , a new strategy, so of course, no talk about that somewhere somewhere someone is outdated, its not that its pointless, it can only be done by someone who doesnt understand anything about this matter, and of course, at the end i wanted to say, well, in this case it was said about the houthis, i just want to wish the houthis to acquire them as quickly as possible. To what extent the countries of the European Union, nato countries and the United States of america are ready for a direct conflict with russia, it turned out that it is easier for me to list those countries that have not spoken out on this matter, not to say, no, no, no, what are you talking about, which one, which one what a war russia, what are our troops, we didnt discuss this, we didnt accept it, we didnt hear about it, this is macrons initiative and so on, this is
Activities, but also in terms of i did logical mobilization in terms of propaganda, in terms of the way you motivate a populous in order go to total war. And i indicated to you that when various leaders talked about the war as being motivated by racial ideology in attempts to secure racial purity, theres a total lizing effect. So when Adolph Hitler talks about the destruction of the jews in 1939, very clearly thats the language of total war in its own way. Equally i spoke to you before about the language of human rights and the articulation of war aims by Franklin Roosevelt and the various other allied leaders and wait in which they promised human rights would be secured everywhere in the world. Also a total guarantee. Other frooiss that have a totalizing quality are those like Unconditional Surrender which we talked about implying that there had to be a total victory rather than an arm miss stus. Today i want to talk about a specific trop in the language of total war, and that is reve
You, you seek revenge, you retaliate, they interp fret pre as a wrong, they come back at you. The momentum of total lang wachbling war is sped onwards by the rhetoric and ideas of revenge. When hitler talks about the destruction of the jews, he phrases it in the language of revenge. He blames them, obviously, inappropriately, but he blames them for the german loss in world war i, he blamed it for the Great Depression and for starting world war ii. So it is an act of revenge, in part. Weve also seen of course the language of revenge in terms of the americans fighting the japanese in the pacific. Im going to talk a little bit today about the language of revenge worked for some other combatants in the european theater of operation on both of axis and the allied side and weight effort to seek revenge drove the war onward in europe in the years that we have now reached, which are approximately those of 1942 43. And i want to begin by looking at the czech government exile. The man you see on
