A quiz on the topic of making things more complicated than they should be! Four answers required. No reverse image search. All other research allowed and no doubt necessary. Bonus if you know the number of engines for each…

The Breguet Br.730 was a sea reconnaissance and rescue seaplane. It entered service 7 years after its maiden flight in 1938. The first example to emerge after the war was named "Vega" in 1945, followed by "Sirius", visible here in test flight in 1946.

Jezus Christ on a Kettenkraftrad. Does he think that he is the Empress Maria Theresa? The mad, destructive, fatal arrogance of politicians who think they can just carve up other parts of the world as they see fit. We now live in the age of neo-colonialism.

Let’s try another recognition quiz… The least you can say of some of these aircraft is that they had distinguishing features!

Needing hints? - They chose the ugly Stuka instead - The shipping magnate could not save them - Missed Oahu by one letter and 1000s of miles - L’armee said no, thank you very much, but no

Having a go at defining my own aircraft recognition quiz, because why not? No reverse image search, all other research allowed. Four responses required in every answer.

I don't know that we've fully grappled w/ the fact that Trump's actions aren't just destroying us, they are destroying the world. I also don't think we've grappled w/ just how terrified the world is of us. We are a super-power. Our military might is insane. We're also now run by a fascist lunatic.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Trump is imposing a 10% tariff on the Heard and McDonald Islands. The Heard and McDonald Islands are uninhabited.
