I’ve been studying Chinese military history lately and basically we know that this is exactly how China has always fought its wars. This is 100% a hot war by chinas standards.

There are a lot of things in this place that fill me with joy, there's a brilliance here that's hard to quantify with words. Then there's this!!! No one studies history anymore, obviously not no one because you do. But it's not a common pursuit. The present is changing so fast too many people think history is irrelevant. It isn't it's the key to everything.

The leftists have been calling us Nazis for the last four and a half years! If you look at what they do from having Antifa and BLM function as brown shirts. They want to absolutely silence political descent in America. This election looks a whole lot more like 1930s Germany than 21st century America.

Well done pede.

I’m a history teacher and a big part of the problem is that history is not taught thoroughly anymore. Everything is taught through a social justice lens. It’s all about the struggle of certain groups and the overcoming obstacles. It’s important to teach those things, but it only gives you a small portion of the whole story.

I’ve found that I have learned way more about history by studying wars and military history than I ever did when getting my history degree. That stuff is so much more important, but we just ignore it because it is not fashionable in the current SJW culture.

If I could put a 10X on your up vote I would.

FDR was a good president, he did some pretty questionable things to draw America into World War II. In my opinion if he hadn't done them the Nazis might have won and the world would be a horrible place. That doesn't make all the things he did right but maybe it made them necessary. That's a small slice of a pivotal piece of History that isn't taught in school.

Field Marshall Montgomery was not a great general he had an ego problem and he was a little bit of a peacock. He won battles because of superior intelligence not because of tactics or brilliance. He wasn't a bad commander and the British empire desperately needed a hero. So the choices that were made were probably the right ones. That's never been taught anywhere and no one really knew the full magnitude of that until the Blenchly Park stuff was declassified.

The greatest hero of World War II was a borderline autistic mathematician that happened to be gay and was persecuted for that. The only reason anybody knows his name is because of Science Fiction and a Hollywood movie.

Schools need to teach real unapologetic history, and also teach propaganda. Too many people think that propaganda was a thing that the Nazi's and North Korea did, and that it would never happen here.

The neocons/neolibs have been trying their damndest to Weimar our republic. They simply haven't had someone charismatic enough to bring together their willing factions. They have no Hitler.

The intellectual gifts just keep on coming!

Thank you pede.

The try with Barry Obama netted the most corrupt administration in US history. Neocons gave us ¡Jeb (please clap) and Mittens please deport.

My young friends voting for the first time asked their old crazy uncle why everyone hated Trump so much. The simple answer was because he was telling the truth. All of the leftist kids screaming about speaking truth to power.... what a laugh. When it actually happened they completely missed it!!
