I’m not sure how to classify this article. I’ve added it to the Trivia category but it’s not really trivia. And the article was inspired by a question I received from a reader in June 2025:
Hello, Michael!

A historian is challenging the theory that the Anglo-saxons marched from Stamford Bridge to fight in the Battle of Hastings. He has been re-examining Anglo-Saxon Chronicles as well as 11th century sources. He states that the idea of marching from the north to meet William was a Victorian idea. Instead he says that Harold used England's naval assets to make the journey south. It comes as the Bayeux Tapestry is about to go on display in the UK.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce3gdxgw44eo -

The bombing of Dresden (February 13–15, 1945)
German writer and Nobel Prize winner Günter Grass and former editor of The Times Simon Jenkins believe that the bombings were a war crime. Jenkins also considers the bombings to be crimes against humanity. Gregory Stanton, president of Genocide Watch, writes that, along with the Holocaust, the bombing of Dresden and the nuclear strikes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were also war crimes and acts of genocide.
American journalist and literary critic Christopher Hitchens expressed the opinion that the bombing of many German residential areas, which served as living targets, was carried out solely so that new aircraft crews could practice bombing. In his opinion, the Allies burned German cities in 1944-1945 only because they were able to do so.
In his book, German historian Jörg Friedrich noted that, in his opinion, the bombing of cities was a war crime, since in the final months of the war it was not dictated by military necessity. In 2005, Friedrich noted that “it was a bombing that was completely unnecessary from a military point of view,” “an act of unjustified terror, mass destruction of people, and terrorization of refugees.” German historian Joachim Fest also believes that the bombing of Dresden was not necessary from a military point of view.
The question of whether the bombing of Dresden constitutes a war crime is meaningless without considering the bombing of cities such as Würzburg, Hildesheim, Paderborn, and Pforzheim, which had no military significance, were carried out in an identical manner and were also almost completely destroyed. The bombing of these and many other cities was carried out after the bombing of Dresden.

In Dresden, a memorial inscription about the bombing of the city by the American and British Air Forces in February 1945 was removed.
#^https://nitter.net/vicktop55/status/1747153598834688199 (17 Janyary 2024)
Then between 100 and 300 thousand city residents died.
The documented number of completely destroyed residential buildings, including apartment buildings, exceeded 78 thousand buildings, and the population of the city before the bombing, including refugees, was at least 900 thousand people (according to other sources, 1.2 million).
The Americans themselves explained the ruthlessness of the bombing by the fact that after the war the city passed into the area of responsibility of Moscow, which would have to spend significant funds on its restoration.
So this is exactly what the people of Dresden should forget.

US campaign behind the turmoil in Kiev
This article is more than 20 years old.But while the gains of the orange-bedecked "chestnut revolution" are Ukraine's, the campaign is an American creation, a sophisticated and brilliantly conceived exercise in western branding and mass marketing that, in four countries in four years, has been used to try to salvage rigged elections and topple unsavoury regimes.
Funded and organised by the US government, deploying US consultancies, pollsters, diplomats, the two big American parties and US non-government organisations, the campaign was first used in Europe in Belgrade in 2000 to beat Slobodan Milosevic at the ballot box.
...
In Ukraine, the equivalent is a ticking clock, also signalling that the Kuchma regime's days are numbered.
Stickers, spray paint and websites are the young activists' weapons. Irony and street comedy mocking the regime have been hugely successful in puncturing public fear and enraging the powerful.
...
The Democratic party's National Democratic Institute, the Republican party's International Republican Institute, the US state department and USAid are the main agencies involved in these grassroots campaigns as well as the Freedom House NGO and billionaire George Soros's open society institute.
US pollsters and professional consultants are hired to organise focus groups and use psephological data to plot strategy.
...
Officially, the US government spent $41m (£21.7m) organising and funding the year-long operation to get rid of Milosevic from October 1999. In Ukraine, the figure is said to be around $14m.
...
If the events in Kiev vindicate the US in its strategies for helping other people win elections and take power from anti-democratic regimes, it is certain to try to repeat the exercise elsewhere in the post-Soviet world.

The Looting of Russia
Sep 8, 1999It has been one debacle after another since the IMF introduced its “shock therapy” program in 1992. Like a battered spouse who sees no alternative but to return to her abuser, Russia comes back to the IMF for more credits. But the hundreds of billions that have fled the country in the 1990’s have cancelled out this “aid,” as well as the meager foreign direct investment, many times over. At the same time Russia has accumulated more than $150 billion in foreign debt, with the burden of debt service now reaching a crushing 29% of export earnings.
At some point any rational, non-corrupt political leader in Russia has to question whether the country’s friendly relations with Washington are worth the price of continued impoverishment. That time may be approaching, as Russia elects first a Parliament and then a President over the next 10 months. There will be calls from across the political spectrum to break, or at least loosen, the chains that bind Russia to its Western tormentors.
