Vietnam took years because Nixon as a candidate colluded with the SVA and told them not to sign any treaties cuz if he won the election, then he'd get them a better one.
Johnson not being able to end the war, got Nixon the election...
Do people just honestly not know about this stuff?
How would they? You need an education for that.
If these people could read, they'd be very upset.jpg
I don't know about that. Do you have any references?
From 13 years ago, so not "new" anymore
Thank you!
What are you talking about, he has absolutely won the war. It's distracting from the Epstein files, that was his goal of going to war. Mission Accomplished.
Mission not accomplished. He hasn't gotten to nuke anyone yet.
Probably Florida
Trump hasn't equalled the 58,000+ Vietnam deaths yet. You know how he likes to have the bigger outcomes.
Rookie numbers. Ask uncle Vlad.
You expect Trump to actually know history? I guarantee you that motherfucker has never read a book, let alone his cast of socialites he's put into positions of power in his administration with zero experience.
He can't even remember the last thing he said to somebody a day before. Just ask Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
So is it any surprise that this war would be any different? No. I'm actually surprised he hasn't dropped a fucking nuke yet.
He can read when he wants to. The problem is that Trump has only ever been seen to read one book:
Last April [Note: article published in 1990] perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler's collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler's speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.
"Did your cousin John give you the Hitler speeches?" I asked Trump.
Trump hesitated. "Who told you that?"
"I don't remember," I said.
"Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he's a Jew." ("I did give him a book about Hitler," Marty Davis said. "But it was My New Order, Hitler's speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I'm not Jewish.")
Later, Trump returned to this subject. "If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them."
If this was Sid Meier's Civ 6, playing Trump as Leader would be like having an overwhelmingly powerful military, but declaring war starts with high war weariness, and only gets worse for them from there.
It feels like playing the ERE in Attila Total War.
Also you already have negative gpt, and half of your strategic resources are imports from nations that cut you off when you go to war
In Civ, can you get chat for gpt?
America learned nothing from ~~past war failures~~ anything.
America has loads of smart people who study the past and have learned all kinds of knowledge.
America openly despises those people and prefers leaders whose intelligence level is closer to the average American.
My dad always loved to say (just slightly tongue in cheek), the problem with representative democracy in America is it works!
Last time they elected a person whose IQ closer to a floor mop.
I don't see any difference between what I said and what you are saying..
Those people that know things are slated to be the first for the struggle sessions about how expertise is woke and therefore, bad.
Oh don't worry. I am sure that we aren't done with losing this one, not by a long shot. I imagine it will stretch into the next Democratic administration so the Republicans can run on a "no wars" platform again.
What are you guys, 11?
No one wins a war, the point of war is to spend billions in munitions.
Don't discourage him; he can just keep loosing this war more spectacularly. 🍿
