Towards the end of the film Saving Private Ryan there’s a scene called the Battle at Ramelle where the Americans are defending a bridge – the action draws on real events that took place at the Battle of La Fière, a hamlet in Normandy. The Germans are attacking the fictional town of Ramelle and at one point bring up a 20mm Flak 38 anti-aircraft cannon to use on the defending Rangers and paratroopers. The effect is devastating, as portrayed in the film it literally tore the soldiers to pieces.

That same type of weapon was rolled out by the IRGC and used on the crowds of people in the streets of Tehran in January. Witnesses said the weapon cut down hundreds of youngsters as each cannon round went straight through dozens of them at a time. In London, today, there are people out on the streets demonstrating in support the Iranian regime that did this to its own people. Take a moment to think about that and why Trump is right in what he’s doing.

Some words from Stephan in Sweden:

(JH: And this is where we meet our second cyber and political problem of the day. The video url is at 1317:1 … please watch it through, as I did. It’s not the content which WP and the UK govt object to … it’s the platform itself … thus Rum*** vids cannot appear in HQ or other posts … but can appear in comments threads.)
