The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

Battle of Lepanto


For John, BLUF:  A turning point.  Nothing to see here; just move along.


I missed this yesterday, but it was the 444 years ago that the West won the Battle of Lepanto.  Against the Ottoman Empire.♠

The last major battle between fleets propelled by oars (galleys).

Per Wikipedia, RAND expert Dr Paul K. Davis noted:

This Turkish defeat stopped Ottomans' expansion into the Mediterranean, thus maintaining western dominance, and confidence grew in the west that Turks, previously unstoppable, could be beaten.

♠  The breakup of the Ottoman Empire is still ongoing.  Most recently as a result of World War One.
