Not an internationaly recognized state, of course, but they call themselfs a state (same as Albanian terrorists from KLA, who were at an official and published  CIA's terrorist groups list untill 1997,  in 2008 just proclaimed that they are the state of Kosovo and USA, UK, Germany and other powerful NATO countries recognized them as a state) and kill the people for the religion believes same as Austro-Hungarian officers were killing Ortodox Christian peasants if they didn't accepted to turn themself into Roman-Catholics, after annexation of Bosnia. So Autro-Hungaria, as per your pretzel logic, was terrorist state as ISIL now as well, or at least the state who officially, as per documents and photos, was supported the terrorism on civilans only due to their different religion believes. And therefore, Gavrilo was a hero who just killed Archduke of an terrorist state.

The word "terrorisme" was used during the French Revolution (1793-94) in regard to government intimidation, the use of the word "terrorist" was first used in English in 1798 in reference to the Irish Rebellion. To presume that terrorists and terrorism is a later invention (League of Nations, 1930) would be incorrect. Acts of terrorism existed before it had a name, just as dinosaurs existed long before we gave them names.

It was another stupid war in a succession of stupid wars, there is no honour or glory in warfare, it is pointless and barbaric and above all else, stupid. There is no better word to describe war than stupid, it is a measure of the stupidity of mankind, the stupidity of nations and stupidity of those that govern them. The first world war was a stupid loss of life for stupid reasons. The assassination of Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo was the stupid excuse for the stupid war but it wasn't the cause; the causes were far more stupid and the stupid reasons why it escalated to a world-war were the most stupid of all

We must remember the 18 million dead and morn them but in the same voice denounce all those that started it, all those that escalated it and perpetuated it and all those who would glorify it.

I'd like just to inform the readers of this thread that i ignore what  Dean is posting here since long time ago, actually since he started to insult me at this forums, for example here. I'm just avoid to chat with such characters.
 
p.s. Dean knows it very well, but I'm always being quoted by him, because he wants to use my non-answer and silence that he tries to create an illusion that his tragicomic "arguments" (adressed to me) are compelling; he adressed so many post to me (although he knows that will be no reply from my side) at so many threads just in favor that you think that I'm flattered by his posts.

Ah, I see the broken logic here, by ignoring me you think you can continue your immature behaviour unchallenged. Sorry sunshine, that ain't ever going to happen.

For your information, my post was not an insult, it was a request.

I can't possibly speak for Dean, but when you engage in discussions over a forum such as this, you're bound to get the odd duck who disagrees with you................................but when the odd duck turns out to be almost every guy that responds you, then there might just be something about their critique. 

You can call me old fashioned too, but posting pictures and quotes by some of the most reviled and hated persons from the 20th century is not going to help you garner any sympathy either.

Oh and Dean is right. He may be blunt and outspoken but he is, at least, looking at history from a realistic and critical point of view (unlike some).

For those who think, and expressed such opinion at this thread, that Tito was a mass murderer (only because he was a communist) the question is: would you ever thought that Winston Churchill would hosted the festive welcome for a "mass murderer"?
 
 
 
Prime Minister of the Great Britain Sir Winston Churchill and Foreign Secretary Sir Anthony Eden welcomed Marshal Tito in London.

All that means is that you have to be prepared to mingle with some pretty disgusting people, if you're ever going to make it in politics.
Here's one with Churchill and Stalin:

Guldb, you are not at my level when it comes to politics; you can only turn out funny.

First, Churchill was in Moscow in 1943, Churchill meet Stalin at Yalta, etc., and Stalin never was welcomed in London, especially not with that ceremonial Guard (if  you even know what that ceremonial Guard meant in UK at that time).
Second, don't tell me that Queen Elizabeth II also meet Stalin.

That is actually really funny coming from someone who never answers anything other than what he deems appropriate (which often results in a small bit of someone's post, you then decide to 'answer' with pictures, vids or copypasted sh*t from the internet).

Dean's lawyer?LOL Trust me, Dean can fend for himself.

Stalin and Hitler can not be in the same line. Do you have been in school? Perhaps you don't know who was Hitler and / or who defeated Hitler. Actually, Stalin defeated Hitler.

LOL or is that Cry?

Edit: Joseph Stalin was every bit as horrible as Hitler was. They are both tainted in innocent blood. Stalin may have helped defeat fascism, but he did so not out of mercy but out of political opportunity. The very same that lead into the 'iron curtain'.

I certainly agree all wars, without exception, are idiotic, but I haven't seen anybody trying to glorify WWI.  On the contrary, it is one war that appears to be safe from that particular brand of stupidity.
 
I have no idea what the rest of the discussion is about anymore, but that particular phrase stood out.

It's ok Svetty. You can turn this into whatever you want to. It still doesn't change the fact, that you are celebrating mass-murderers and tyrants with these recent posts of your's.
