“This sculptor knows about contemporary styles in Mediterranean and Anatolian sculpture, the interest in hands and the structure of the face and so forth, and yet [the statue is] wearing clothes from 100 years earlier,” Cahill said. “I think they’re very clearly looking back to their own past.”

There was no pfp's back then so ancient chuds had to make the literal statues

    Imagine reading that NATO intentionally kept provoking Russia with the aim of making Russia desperate and then braying that it's Russia that's untrustworthy and bellicose actor. Get yourself checked for brain worms ASAP.

    To add some perspective, it was after US and UK recieved evidence of holocaust (december 1942), date of the report is literally in the period when Polish envoy Jan Karski was meeting with whomever he could from the US political, military, business and celebrity "elites" and asked for any help for the Jews. 4 days later he met even with Roosevelt. He gained nothing.

    so this is an actual intelligence report back to the Kremlin , it’s not for propaganda reasons , meaning they are not making it up for the public.

    "Trump has released a damning report that's been secret for 80 years showing that China was making deals to arm the Nazis - it's an official CIA report to the whitehouse, so it couldn't be fake!" I don't really doubt that it's real just. Even if you mean that in a historical context it wouldn't have been faked, that's a terrible basis on which to draw that conclusion.

    Anyways yeah, it's entirely possible the US was attempting to buy german chemicals during WWII - Standard Oil was selling oil to the germans (Rockerfeller - what a guy!), IBM sold punchard systems, Bank of England gave the nazis 5.6 million pounds of Czech gold, (Chamberlin - what a guy!), Bank of Canada and the Federal Reserve both moved tonnes of gold for the nazis (though in both cases it's iffy if they actually knew), etc.

    And that's all just corporate shit. Espionage was constantly buying materials strategically to try and exacerbate material shortages, or to obtain critical materials for the axis/ally war effort without the other side catching on to who was actually buying the stuff.
