You’re the one that’s wrong. The Nazis booked no gain saying by the countries they controlled. The Germans told these countries what they could do. When your country is occupied by a foreign power you have no freedom and you have no real control over your affairs. That’s the bottom line...

At the time, Great Britain was much more engaged in staying alive as a country than occupying any new territory. Greenland offered a base for naval and air operations to protect the convoys. Colonialism did not become a point of contention among the allies until it was clear we were going to...

Don’t tell me I don’t understand. It’s you who doesn’t. One of the ways Switzerland avoided occupation by the Germans was by going along with the Germans on things like recognizing the Nazi puppet government in Denmark. Any government established by the Nazis was strictly controlled by...

You don’t understand the meaning of the word invasion. The puppet government the Nazis install in Denmark had no legitimacy. The west recognized the government in exile. Norway was also occupied by the Nazis. The British also agreed to us taking control of Greenland. The British were our...

If Vance becomes president I think Congress will change its role in this (which so far has been a big fat fucking 0). Vance can’t command the loyalty that trump does. Hopefully the Republicans in Congress who realize what’s going on, but have been acting like spineless curs, will then step...

Using ACME as the company also brings to mind someone else who didn’t know what he was doing - Wile E. Coyote.

It could be a Weekend at Bernie’s situation.

Well said super. Love the LOTR connection. I would say we are dealing with a Wormtongue here, but this guy isn’t that smart.

You might be right super. But I just don’t see it happening. Trust is hard to get. It is easy to lose. And it is almost impossible to regain. We have lost our leadership status as the head of the West. And that POS Trump could care less. Our trump supporters, please show me where I am...

Winston Churchill could not have said it better.

And what’s so bad, is that this was deliberate. It’s been the IDF’s MO virtually from the beginning of this slaughter of innocent Palestinians.

Same here in Burlington.
