Satchmo Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 20 minutes ago, Boudrias said: I don't read or watch Trump stuff. My comment was strictly from my point of view and the history I have read. I understand that some Americans can be boastful when they discuss their contributions to WW2. From my perspective the USA basically fought the Japanese in the Pacific, armed and supplied the Red Army, and put 16.1 million in uniform. I am not saying they were better fighters. The sheer scope of the American war effort was staggering. Check out the Ken Burns piece for PBS called "The War" Americans produced: Tanks 89 000 Artillery 193 000 Airplanes 300 000 Submarines 260 General John Pershing of WW 1 fame said "logistics wins wars" and WW 2 certainly bore that out. No one is disputing those numbers. I see one minor mention of what we have been talking about (which I bolded). Also bolded is a sentence about the US in the Pacific which I don't fully understand. It seems to ignore Canadians, Brits, Australians and New Zealanders, and Chinese. Anyway, we are drifting off topic and I won't have much more to say on this except to repeat it's not US involvement in the war we are disputing; it's their often inflated opinion of it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywood certainly hasn't helped. Making movies like U571 where it's the Americans who capture and decode the German's encoded Enigma communications device. When in reality it was the British seven months before the Americans entered the war. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gurn Posted January 22 Popular Post Share Posted January 22 War would have been easier to win, if American companies were not selling goods to the Germans, prior to America entering the war. Also note that after Pearl, America declared war on the Japanese, not Germany, or Italy. War against Germany was not declared until after Hitler had declared war on America. 1 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 So I noticed that Ron DeSantis pulled out. Literally. That 7 eleven dude is gone too. Only Nikki Haley is left to trump Trump. Is Bone Spurs gonna pull it off tomorrow? If he does this thread could get spicy. Might have to start posting some new Babylon Bee material.

I wouldn't be surprised if Trump wins the primary. I still highly doubt he'd win the election based on 2 key facts: 1) His court cases are likely to have changed many perceptions of him from positive to negative. 2) He lost to Biden before those court cases even started and before Jan 6. Sure, there will be a lot of polls looking to create hype and create seeds of doubt in order to make people think Trump could win. There will also be people who will state that it did happen in 2016. Keep in mind, 2016 will likely be on the minds of voters and those same voters who didn't vote in 2016 but showed up in 2020 are likely to show up in 2024 again. You just have to look at things logically to at least see that logic is not on the side of Trump. Edited January 23 by The Lock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even a question. I'm sure Bone Spurs has his hands all over her too. I wonder what Melania must think when Bone Spurs is in court? Do you think she might "persuade" the judge to get him off if she showed up like that in court? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue I have is what the Democrats are going to do about it. They can't possibly be bringing back Biden for a second term can they? Biden is worse than Trudeau. At least Trudeau has functioning brain cells. Biden doesn't even know he's alive. This is a massive risk the Democrats are taking if they bring back Biden. Unless Bone Spurs actually goes to jail, I don't think Biden can win another election. I heard Michelle Obama is considering running. Anyone but the 81-year-old man...
