ON THIS DAY IN 1836, THE ALAMO PLEADED FOR HELP

 

On February 24, 1836, in San Antonio, Texas, Colonel William Travis 

issues a call for help on behalf of the Texan troops defending the Alamo, 

an old Spanish mission and fortress under siege by the Mexican army.

On this day in this year, Russia has invaded Ukraine, 
and I foresee many ineffectual international fingers shaking at Russia
and not much else.

On September 1, 1939, the German army under Adolf Hitler launched an invasion of Poland 

that triggered the start of World War II.  

What do you foresee happening after today?
