I am not sure Napoleon was ever really himself after the Russian campaign. What he expected after his victory at Borodino and what really turned out was very different. Expecting the Russians to surrender only having them chase him all the way back to France may have put some doubt in his mind. Maybe that doubt is what affected his decisions at a place like Waterloo. I know in sports that if you loose your confidence it can be hard to get back. I imagine the same could be said about war generals. Just a thought. Enjoyed the post.
Europe grows hostage to its Muslims(sounds familiar.)

Didn’t someone on this fora poo-poo this when DS or Xi said it in an earlier post?

Hmm, not sure I remember posting that. Although it is quite possible given my memory. :wink:
