but what the fuck is the green triangle?
You cant just draw an equilateral triangle and say "if water is wet this triangle is equilateral"

Green triangle constructed from centers of those equilateral triangles that are constructed on the sides of base triangle.

being a solid general & utterly brilliant political leader
>>1897354
he knew he was doomed to be forever in peter gabriel's shadow in a creative sense, so he struck out on his own path, went solo, and ended up in the same old-british-white-guy-trying-to-be-socially-relevant trap that sting, mark knopfler, and roger waters fell into.

>The Napoleonic wars bankrupted France, destroyed the French navy and led to a century of British imperial domination.
>After the Battle of Waterloo every single European power was restored and Napoleon's puppets (mostly his family) were deposed.
>His wars cost the lives of at least a million young Frenchmen - plus millions of Spaniards, Germans, Dutch, English, Russians etc
>He sold the vast French territories in America to the US government for ten million dollars to pay for his wars - thus losing France its most valuable Imperial possession.
Total bleeding disaster if you ask me
