"Tu as raison, je ne veux pas te bercer d’illusions, Louis : ce n’est pas toi que je défends... C’est ma couronne !" Aliénor d'Aquitaine.

An illustration of King George V and Queen Mary's visit to Parkhead forge in Glasgow during their Scotland tour in july, 1914. After they inspected the various operations of gunmaking, a 100 tone crain was advancing to them, carrying in a shining steel sling a little girl with a bouquet for queen Mary. The child was Miss Annie Dunlop, daughter of one of the timekeepers at the forge. The bouquet was bought with pennies which were subscribed by employes at Parkhead.

"Queen Mary took a big interest in the upbringing of her granddaughters, Elizabeth and Margaret. Their own parents thought it unnecessary for them to have a strong educational regime, so Mary felt it was up to her to educate the young princesses by taking them to art galleries and museums"

Today is Queen Mary' 71th death anniversary. She passed away on march 24, 1953 at the age of 85, in Marlborough House, London (same house where George V was born)

Rest in peace Queen Mary with all your loved ones 🌹

Don't let the media make what's happening with Israel, Iran and Jordan into some "middle-east problem" again. This was entirely orchestrated and encouraged by the US and the UK. Israel initiated every attack against Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and Iran. Israel KILLED, targeted, the children and grandchildren of Palestinians political leaders. And the US could've stopped all of this by simply not giving Israel money and weapons bu they didn't.

The Western media has constructed this narrative that countries like Iraq and Iran are the problem and the western nations are the antidote keeping their 'terrorism' at bay. No, they have always and at all times started the conflicts, or worsened them.

Because they want the land, they want hegemony over the resources of that region and that is it. And they've demonstrated already by killing over 33,000 people that they'll do anything.

Stop joking about World War 3 and take the loss of lives and the horror of what is happening seriously. This cannot keep escalating
