The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

My definition of hike was a bit more of a walk. Just me and my camera, and walking and trekking around a garden. ^^

I need to do that soon. This time, it wasn't COVID that was stopping me; just the general lack of time.

Imagine if Alaska becomes Little Russia by itself. Would be so cool, minus the Cold War implications. Russian culture and food right above USA. :P

Yeah, but Russia and Britain weren't chums at the time of the sale (Crimean War), so they did it to piss off britain and canada.
