Turkey
James BakerWhit Stillman@JayinKyiv Because threatened by #NATO #OTAN. Because Turkey blew up the #NordStream pipeline. Because in 1990 James Baker said something to the FM of the former thug Soviet regime before it was overthrown & dissolved by Russia itself. So taking #Constantinople is entirely justified.

Emma (1816). By: Jane Austen (Complete in three volume): Novel

Puritan Boston and Quaker Philadelphia
E. Digby BaltzellWhit Stillman@maoxian No. I actually have an aversion to the subject as a "subject." Digby Baltzell's "Puritan Boston and Quaker Philadelphia" - the effect of religion on culture - interests me more. John Murray Cuddihy's "controversial" The Ordeal of Civility too.
