James, I'm no WWII buff, however, I don't buy the politically correct version of WWII. Several researchers agree on the fact that both Germany and the UK tacitly/secretely intended to carve up Europe in the 1930s --see the books The Chamberlain-Hitler Collusion and Hidden Agenda, the latter exposing Duke of Windsor's pro-Nazi feelings.... On a broader scope, most observers/historians admit that Hitler considered the Anglo-Saxon empire (ie UK + USA) as a genuine, legitimate power that would deal with Germany on an equal footing. Hence the infamous Anglo-German Naval Agreement of 1935 whereby Great Britain allowed Germany to revamp its Navy... The deal between Chamberlain, the pro-Nazi British establishment and Hitler was to grant Germany a free hand in Eastern Europe against Bolshevik Russia. All in all, if Hitler didn't invade Great Britain in 1940 (just after the Brits were repelled from Dunkerke), it's because such a move didn't fit in his grand scheme of a world carved up among Anglo-Saxons, Germans, and Japanese. Hitler would have let the Brits alone as long as Germany ruled over continental Europe. Re: Accordingly, one might ask when comes the fourth one --that is, the one that wound up with the sack of Constantinople.. Are you predicting defeat of the US by Europe? And fairly soon? Hard to see at this point- -and a highly uncertain prediction. Goddammit! I thought I made my point quite clear.... Today's Europe is in the same situation as Constantinople was in the 15th century and, likewise, the USA, somehow, is the modern surrogate of the Western Roman Empire of yore.... The EU is a rehash of the Byzantine empire: it lingers on old traditions --Greek/doubletalk as its official language, endless theological squabbles, and an all-powerful bureaucracy.... The fourth crusade was initially launched to free Jerusalem but the crusaders never got beyond Constantinople, took part in the capital's internecine power struggles and, eventually, ransacked the city...
