Hmmmmmm...

Firstly..., a correction about the aboved article's slight (~15%) incorrect numbers...:
- “GILBERT HOUSE's Press Office says that on the victory of the 8th December 1914..., 6 British sailors lost their lives and a number of others died later..., 2,260 German sailors also lost their lives...”
- ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITTANICA says that the victory of the 8th December 1914 results were...: “Losses: British, 10 dead, 19 wounded...; German, some 1,900 killed.”
(Btw..., WIKIPEDIA says that..., on the previous defeat at Coronel on the 1st November 1914 results were...: ”Losses: British, 1.660 killed...; German, 3 wounded...)

Secondly..., a respectful thought for the about 20.000.000 deceased in the Great War..., defending the principles of Inherent Exceptionalism..., Colonialism and Race Supremacy...

Thirdly..., me dear Kelpers..., before welcoming and cheering those heroic young soldiers from Kosovo some say will be trained on Malvinas...,Tænk about the fact that between Pristina and (June's 1914) Sarajevo there ain't no more than ~150 miles...

Capisce...?

“Advisory opinion on Kosovo's declaration of independence Accordance with International Law of the Unilateral Declaration of Independence in Respect of Kosovo was a request in 2008 for an advisory opinion referred to the International Court of Justice by the United Nations General Assembly regarding the 2008 Kosovo declaration of independence.”
