D-Day's 80th

TSmith was hoping this thread had a different  topic meaning

[tower912]

He wants revenge, he attempted to overturn an election, is threatening more violence if he loses again, is using Mein Kampf as source material in his speeches when he successfully finishes a sentence,  and project 2025.

I hope you find peace.

[The Sultan]

Jesus...what are we doing here guys?

[Pakuni]

Please Tower, if that was the case, why isn't he in power now? 

Because he failed, as he has in many other endeavors (see: casinos, universities, marriages, financial services, wall-building).

I don't think TSmith is into you, but you can keep probing him

Remembering the fallen heroes of June 6, 1944 on a college basketball message board.

Where it has the most impact.

You, as well.  I hope we all find peace.

Great miniseries that was showing on Netflix earlier this year.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Band_of_Brothers_(miniseries)
Probably many have seen it.
Starts in training for Normandy invasion.
Liberation of Jews from concentration camps and
I believe ends with taking a Nazi mountain retreat.
These guys were incredible.

[tower912]

One of my all time favorites.

Same old, same old...where you been?

So did I

[MuggsyB]

You do know that WWII was still going on during the 1940s?

My point should have been easily understood.  We all know what appeasement led to in the 30's.  Neville treated the S-land debacle like Adolf just
wanted a sightseeing tour.  I'm not a fan of despotic maniacal scumbags.  Especially when they can be stopped and eliminated.

[Not all scoop users are created equal apparently]

I will never forget what Senior did that day for his men and our country

[MuggsyB]

We're aware.  He'll tell us about the 5-point plan to eliminate the triumvirate of evil that goes against everything America was founded on and is supposed to stand for, breaks international law and ignores the constitution and all consequences of said actions.

Rico, you struggle constantly to move away from your myopic and dangerous worldview.  America has to deal with  complex challenges.  "International Law" is a euphemism for bull excrement.  These organizations have no business determining our foreign policy.  Especially when we are the only ones who can solve these problems.  None of the Evil Triumvirate follows "International Law."  Fk them. Period.  Do what is necessary to help people. 

But what do I know, I'm creating asinine hypotheticals and nonsensical ideas and have my head buried in the sand of La-La land

Huh

[Uncle Rico]

We follow international law and we follow our own laws which are the same.  And when we haven't, the consequences have been paid in the loss of thousands of American lives

1. You obviously don't understand how international law works.
2. Nothing in America's record, especially of the last 75 years, indicates we're capable of "solving these problems" or helping people. To the contrary, we usually make things worse and the people suffer for our efforts. (See: Iran, Guatemala, Korea, Vietnam, Chile, Lebanon, Nicaragua, Afghanistan, Iraq).

Could you teach us about international law?

South Korea isn't better off than North Korea?
Didn't we support El Salvador and not Nicaragua?
Iraq and the world would be better off with Saddam Hussein?

So if we can't help then let 'em suffer (they do and will continue to) without us. Is that your solution? Total isolationism?
Why are we wasting time and money in Israel or Ukraine? All we'll do is make matters worse, right? If "nothing in our history  indicates we can solve these problems" why did we waste all that blood and treasure saving Europe? Probably only made things worse, the continent would have been better off with an efficient Germany running things, right?

There is a pretty wide gap between supporting our allies versus committing war crimes

You'd be shocked to find out who was supporting Saddam in the 80's

Don't think anyone would argue with you on this one.

And this caused Saddam to become the baddy he became?
