#1 clear instructions not to pass on operational military information to the Americans

And now Schroeder is out of office, and kissing the ring of Putin to keep bread on the table. Thus shall be done to those who choose the other side! (Sorry, Purim is coming up in a bit, and I seem to be in a Book of Esther mode. No doubt it will wear off in a bit. At this stage of the Purim story, the evil vizier Haman, caught upon the petard of his vanity, had to dress his opponent Mordechai (the Jewish queen Esther's uncle, unbeknownst to H.) in the King's robe, seat him upon the king's horse, and lead him around the city, proclaiming, "Thus shall be done to the man whom the King chooses to honour!" Lovely morality tale, with no historical possibility whatsoever.)

Happy Saturday!

#2 "Lovely morality tale, with no historical possibility whatsoever"

Too bad...I really like the part where the King issues an unrepealable law allowing freedom to worship throughout the land:)

#4 Me, too, Danielle. But King Ahasuerus declared a year-long holiday throughout the land of the Medes & Persians to celebrate his wedding to Esther. And that is exactly the kind of thing that would have shown up in the royal records had it actually occurred. Hence my conclusion... ;-)
