      Pretty sure he would consider murdering millions of Mexicans as a win, even if it ends with a bullet to his temple.

        Ya know I realise this is complete conspiracy theory. However, I’m still willing to give a 2-5% chance that if Trump gets back into power, within the last 12-18 months of his presidency he’ll declare a special operation into North Mexico to ‘secure the border’, ‘stop the illegal immigrants’ and ‘remove the drug cartels’.

        Then he’ll claim it’s too dangerous to hold the election, or not appropriate, or whatever excuse because of the special operation. And then he’ll postpone the election with the approval of the SC as a presidential duty and therefore not illegal.

        And I know this is insane but every time I ask myself “would trump attempt something like this?” The answer is always “yes”

      I expect he is a slow reader. He may not have gotten to that part of the book yet.

      Germany mainly lost by losing the economics and resources games. A secondary factor was when Hitler started taking over strategic and tactical planning from the generals.

      My take on the generals themselves is that they were at least not terrible.

        Dont understand why you get downvoted, as I assume you mean that the generals wrwe not strategical and tactical terrible. Think most historians will agree that Hitlers direct involvement in the war was a growing issue in conducting the war. Also Hitler stayed in power by making sure that the levels below him were at each others throats and not able to challenge him directly. Nazi Germany was not technically on a war economy until Speer took over, and the amount of corruption was immens.

        Well they were probably too loyal to their idiot Fuhrer. Methinks it’s the loyalty part that Trump wants.

        Economic and resources problems are part in parcel with a despot with a desire for absolute loyalty.
