23. Hitler always planned to attack USSR eventually

Thu Feb 20, 2025, 08:32 PM

Thursday

Hitler just wanted that pact with Stalin in 1939 to buy some time. In 1939 and 40, the German army overran the countries east and west of Germany, after making alliances with Austria and Italy. THEN in 1941 Hitler attacked USSR, getting stuck over winter in Stalingrad, and losing half of his army. That was probably his biggest mistake, plus the fact that he refused to listen to his generals.

I'm not sure if Chump is planning anything like this, but if he is our military leaders would shut it down immediately.

We should be asking why is Chump doing all this to keep Putin happy?
What does Putin have on Chump that enables him to twist Chump's arm like this?
Why can't the MAGAs see that this is outright collaboration with a dangerous enemy?
