"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few." @RoyalAirForce @BattleofBritain @RAFBBMF
On the 85th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, we remember the sacrifice of ‘the Few’ and the many who stood with them.
Their courage in 1940 continues to inspire today’s @RoyalAirForce.
Per ardua ad astra.
Concordo em absoluto com a opinião do @gajodagabardine. Neste contexto, @defesa_pt e @fap_pt deveriam privilegiar soluções de defesa EU, que tem bons produtos e condições para, querendo, atingir ou até passar EUA a médio prazo. Veja-se o que é hoje Airbus vs Boeing na área civil.

July 20th, 1969 is a date that stands high in my life – it was the day that we, together as one people, achieved the greatest scientific and technological feat in human history. The specific role that Neil, Mike and I performed in the event was but one part of an immeasurably larger effort – not just for our nation, but for all mankind. As I look back on what we accomplished 55 years ago, I am still inspired by what we all saw and did – the best of America and the best of humanity. Thank you for the privilege and the honor of serving you, and for being part of this exciting and wonderous journey with me. #Apollo11
"Europe was enslaved and the world prayed for its rescue. Here in Normandy the rescue began. Here the Allies stood and fought against tyranny in a giant undertaking unparalleled in human history." Thank you for your service and sacrifice! Lest we forget! #WWII #dday80 – at Lisbon, Portugal

"We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.”
— Churchill
“You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have
striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The
hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.
In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on
other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war
machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of
Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.
Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well
equipped and battle hardened. He will fight savagely.
But this is the year 1944! Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of
1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men.
The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to
Victory!
I have full confidence in your courage and devotion to duty and skill in
battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory!
Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.”
- Eisenhower

Planeamento exemplar, fundado na experiência de um passado sangrento com a vizinhança e cuja aplicação, em certa medida, não se esgota na guerra! Um exemplo para algum ocidente, de que a promoção e manutenção da paz não significa desprezar investimento na defesa e na prevenção. – at Lisbon, Portugal
One country in Europe has spent decades planning for a potential Russian attack, never letting its guard down. My big read on Finland and its impressive level of preparedness ft.com/content/c5e376f9-7351…
