INTERVIEW: Trump just went off at Netanyahu, seemingly scrambling to prevent Iran from retaliating against Israel's strike on Beirut "I spoke with the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, I told him, ‘What the fuck are you doing?' Bibi has no discretion at all." "I told Iran not to respond. If they respond it’s going to fucking ruin everything. I think a deal will be signed in the next 2-3 hours. Iran should not launch missiles at Israel" "Why did Bibi have to do a fucking attack? I was so pissed off. I let him know. He has no fucking judgement. I let him know that." But is this all for show? Or was the President of the United States not able to reign in the PM of Israel? @AXChristoforou

Everything you live with today--the United Nations, NATO, nuclear weapons, the U.S.-led world order, China's rise, Germany's borders, Japan's pacifist constitution, and even the Cold War--traces back to six years of war between 1939 and 1945. World War II wasn't just the deadliest conflict in history, it was the event that created the modern world. The roots go back further. After Germany's defeat in World War I, the Treaty of Versailles stripped it of territory and saddled it with crippling reparations. The Great Depression that began in 1929 then triggered global economic collapse, mass unemployment, and the rise of political extremism. Three revisionist powers were already upending the international order: • Japan invaded Manchuria in 1931, seizing resources and industry. • Italy, under Benito Mussolini, invaded Ethiopia in 1935 in pursuit of a new Roman Empire • German, after Adolf Hitler took power in 1933, vowed to tear up the postwar settlement, rearm, and dominate Europe. These nations formed the "Axis Powers". Opposing them were the "Allied Powers", led by Britain, the Soviet Union, the United States, China, and many others. The war erupted on September 1, 1939, when Germany invaded Poland. Britain and France declared war two days later. German blitzkrieg swept across Europe. Poland fell. Denmark fell. Norway fell. Belgium fell. the Netherlands fell. And by June 1940, France collapsed. Hitler now controlled most of Europe. Then came the decision that arguably changed history more than any other. On June 22, 1941, Germany launched "Operation Barbarossa" --the largest invasion ever attempted. Over 3 million troops stormed the Soviet Union. Hitler expected a quick victory. Instead, he trapped Germany in a brutal war of attrition against a nation with endless space, resources, and manpower. The conflict went fully global on December 7, 1941, with Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, which killed over 2,400 Americans and brought the U.S. into the fight. The war became a battle of industrial might. American factories churned out planes, ships, and vehicles on a staggering scale. Soviet industry, relocated east, kept feeding the Eastern Front. The Axis could not compete with the Allies' combined output. Key turning points followed: the German suffered defeat at Stalingrad and Japan lost of four carriers at Midway. From then on, the Axis was on the defensive. On June 6, 1944, over 150,000 Allied troops stormed Normandy on D-Day. Germany faced collapse from both east and west. Soviet forces reached Berlin in April 1945. Hitler died by suicide on April 30. Germany surrendered on May 8. On the other side of the world, Japan fought on until the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, prompting surrender and ending the war. An estimated 70–85 million people perished: about 3% of the world's population. The aftermath reshaped everything. The British and French empires crumbled. The U.S. and Soviet Union became superpowers. The United Nations was founded. NATO formed. Nuclear weapons changed strategy forever. The Cold War began. Decolonization swept Asia and Africa. The world you live in today wasn't built in peace, it was forged in the ruins of World War II. Which single decision changed history more: Japan's invasion of Manchuria (1931), Italy's invasion of Ethiopia (1935), Hitler's invasion of Poland (1939), or Operation Barbarossa (1941)? Why?
