Well, those Indonesian forest fires will cease to be when vulgar capitalistic greed has succeeded in destroying the last Indonesian forest, probably followed by the population over there discovering that ecocide also means suffering for human populations.

People keep forgetting Montgomery, even though Montgomery kicked the Wehrmacht and their allies out of Africa. Rommel was a rather good tactician, but his troops failed to be as efficient as the Desert Rats.

You will have to learn to do without. The only export product that the Indonesian wastelands will generate in that dark and terrible future are probably salafist terrorists.

Good one. De Gaulle was actually one of the creative military thinkers that came up with the principle of fast modern warfare that we now know as the Blitzkrieg. The Germans didn't invent that concept, but they were the first to actually execute it. If only De Gaulle had risen to a more prominent place within the French military before the Second World War erupted, then the events of 1940 might have gone slightly different.
