100 years ago today, a teenaged nationalistic imbecile named Gavrilo Princip assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and the Archduke's wife, Sophie. Princip was one of several Serbian assassins who were in Sarajevo that day on a mission to kill the Archduke.
While it could be argued that a war would have started over some other bit of butthurt, Princip and his co-conspirators dropped a match onto the slow-fuse that ignited the Great War. In just over four years, tens of millions of people would die as a result. Millions more would die as a result of the geopolitical upheaval caused by the aftereffects of the war.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.
Slava Ukraini!

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
And a statue of him has been erected...much to the joy of some and the anger of others. Europe, as of late, has resolved its differences a little better than in the past, but the human nature that makes the conflicts in Africa and the Middle East so "normal" is still firmly in place.
ReplyDeleteStill absolutely amazing set of circumstances that allowed Princip to even make the attempt...
