Just look at Germany and Japan. They viciously fought a war, trying to take over the world. We defeat them, and rather than wipe them off the face of the Earth, we went in and helped them to rebuild, only to have them be the knife-in-the-back kind of “friends”. Sounds like DemonRats to me!
Eight decades ago, we, the British Commonwealth, the Russians, the Poles, the French, and etc. had to defeat the Germans, the Japanese, and the Italians any way we could.
I notice that, in 1943 as in 1916, the Italians switched sides when they figured out that their original ally, Germany, was losing.
The Germans and Japanese behaved in true Napoleonic fashion. They stuck to The Plan they had originally, and rode it down in flames.
I think the Japanese and the Italians learned from experience. I’m not so sure the Germans ever did. (Other than all three ending up making pretty decent automobiles and….plastic model kits?)
As for what Churchill called The Grand Alliance…
OFFS.
And yes, I’m including us.
On the whole, we made more sense in 1944 than we do in 2024. In fact, overall, we’re acting like it was 1924. Or at least our Fearless Leaders and Best and Brightest are.
They all desperately want to be FDR and The Great Gatsby all at the same time. Neither one actually worked, in fact or fiction. Which was the point Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was trying to get across, and which pretty much everybody missed.
(Am I the only one who thinks that today, the 1922 Hall/Mills murder case wouldn’t even rate a two-paragraph filler on page ten of the NYT, below the lost peekapoo notices?)
We badly need another Calvin Coolidge. Who said at the end of his tenure in the White House that he considered his greatest achievement while there was getting the Federal government to mind its own business for five and a half years.
If a Blue Town is getting the same treatment from FEMA as a Red town, then if volunteers treat them the same way as they do a red town, maybe you sway a few people to regain some lucidity…
There are many dozens of my kin in the real mountains there. Have not heard of one of them there surviving. From what I knew of them, most voted Blue. It’s sad. Their kids had a chance to be redpilled.

Follow the example of Scipio at Carthage
1) Burn it
2) Demolish it
3) Sew the surrounding fields with salt
For better or worse, I’m Christian, and they’re ‘Americans’.
Sue me…
Once.
Mankind has been at war since there was more that ten people in a tribe.
We love war movies, and will show them to kids.
Just like A Man For All Seasons, we — as a race — supply a war for every single generation.
How about Zoe & Zelda? Old names for sure but that’s not a bad thing.
