Modern tram passing through a historic French city street with classic architecture in the background. Quote from Thomas Ableman reads β€œFrance builds 300,000 homes every year. So far this century, a new tramway has opened in France every six months. Is this a coincidence, or are they linked?"

Not even the Nazis expressly announced they were committing war crimes. Indeed, at Nuremberg war crimes were denied.

But here, openly, the US Secretary for Defense is explicitly admitting to committing war crimes.

I'm on the 11:35 Malaga AVE, change Antequera for Algeciras.
Pity the Malaga passengers, on a bus half the trip.
The fun begins in Algeciras... 🚒..
