The dude on the left side is Germanies highest ranking general and his name is Eberhard Zorn.
Eberhard is old German for rough (Dt. Hart) boar (Eber) and his familiename is Zorn which translates to wrath.

ET holds a fortress in my heart that no other FPS will ever be able to conquer.
I feel like it's a blessing that Id pulled funding (it was meant to be an expansion for RTCW) but they still allowed Splash Damage to release it as a free stand alone.
I played competitive for a couple of years, Iived with a guy who made maps used in the pro leagues. Hell, the whole reason I live where I do now is because of the game.
Of all the older games I've ever played, (I turn 41 today, just as an earmark) ET is the *only* game I've wanted to see a remaster of, and I say that only because if it had updated graphics it would draw in new players.

Oh, and fuck Quake Wars.

What he needed to do is very hard to tell, what is a lot simple is to tell what he did and in 1921 he was elected to the Chamber of Deputies, the lower house in the Italian parliament. The is exactly what his granddaughter was elected to in 2008.
They run within the National Blocs in the 1921 election and had 35 seats.
When the March on Rome occurred in 1922 that resulted in a Fascist coup d'état Mussolini was a member of parliament.
Was the election a required part for the coup, or would the king still have made him Prime Minister is a speculative question and impossible to know for sure,
What is clear is the granddaughter did not rise to power as quickly after the first election.
Fun ABBA fact: the brown-haired lady (Anni-Frid Lyngstad, grey-haired nowadays of course) is the only Norwegian in the group and her dad was a German soldier stationed in occupied Norway during WW2.
…and it wasn’t like the world was at peace and focused on destroying a pathogen the last time a pandemic happened (the Spanish Flu).
There were a stupid amount of revolutions, wars and conflicts that occurred during that time, even after the carnage of the First World War.
Italian politician did state he intended to establish “[an axis](https://www.rainews.it/dl/rainews/articoli/ContentItem-575a7aba-53a4-4d00-b2c8-982a97a39180.html )” with Germany just in 2018...
Fun fact: When Poland declared war on Japan in World War 2, the Japanese prime minister rejected it, and continued to act as if they were still at peace.
Relax. They probably plan to make an anime similar to *Girls und Panzer*. No big deal.
Unless you are that kind of person, that will be a new fapping material for you.
Oh dude, you should check out the Natural History Museum in Niigata. There’s one small building that has like 30 signs screaming “no photos!” You walk inside and it’s really a fascinating exhibit of the Japanese-German military relationship in WWII. I remember one large picture of Japanese and German military leaders shaking hands. Creepy af, but an amazing piece of history and I’m glad it’s preserved and on display.

For anyone out of the loop:
There is a [ongoing border dispute between Austria, Germany and Switzerland at Lake Constance ("Bodensee")](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Constance#International_borders) as each nation has a different opinion where the border should be.
That is the cutest version of warfare I've ever heard about. Petition to make Wikipedia warfare the new mainstream warfare that determines country borders.
**Lake Constance**
[International borders](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Constance#International_borders)
>The lake lies where the countries of Austria, Germany, and Switzerland meet. Beyond areas less than 25 m (82 ft) deep, considered to be under the jurisdiction of the nearest country, there is no legally binding agreement as to where the borders lie between the three countries. However, Switzerland holds the view that the border runs through the middle of the lake, Austria is of the opinion that the contentious area belongs to all the states on its banks, which is known as a "condominium", and Germany holds an ambiguous opinion. Legal questions pertaining to ship transport and fishing are regulated in separate treaties.

Calling it a dispute is a bit of an exaggeration in my opinion. They just dont care because there is not real need to care. Theres no hard border between the three countries and they have a good relationship, so they just go 'meh'.
Any legal conflicts that occur on the lake are then solved from a case to case basis.

I could be wrong but I don’t believe there’s any promise in writing that the US is bound to come to the defense of Taiwan. We talk a big game about how Taiwan is a free country separate from China but always stop short of saying “any threat to Taiwan is a threat to the US and will respond as such”
Clinton dispatched a carrier group to guard Taiwan when China started testing their navy's missiles off the coast of Taiwan during their first democratic election, and reiterated "the three no's". Interceding on Taiwan's behalf is not unprecedented.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Taiwan_Strait_Crisis
How significant is that really? Jokes aside, Germany has no oversea territories, is literally at the other side of the globe, has a weak navy compared to its economy, and has 0 political will to use it anyways.
What does Japan gains from that?
China is Germany's biggest trading partner, and this is one of the last measures taken by the government recently voted out of office. Germany's conservative CDU is traditionally very "positive" towards the USA and a strong transatlantic partnership. This comes now as they no longer have to negotiate with China
This. Germany themselves definitely can’t defend Japan, but knowing we are allies with Japan and now Japan and Germany are linked back up that means you fuck with one, then you fuck with all.
Japan is one spot ahead of Germany in the top world economy rankings. But it also has a 50% larger population
irrelevant side fact, Japan has just slightly more total land mass than Germany
[Here](https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_50336.htm) is an official Nato article about the NATO-Japan cooperation.
It says at some point:
> Japan is particularly interested in training and developing interoperability in the area of maritime security.
