Unrelated, but since you brought up Artillery.. in the context of Freedom in the face of overwhelming opposition.. Kayleigh McEnany is like the Finns.
The end of June and early July 1944 saw the largest artillery bombardment in the history of warfare.
For every 100-meter stretch of the large Karelian Isthmus of Finland, the Red Army placed no less than 10 pieces of artillery - in one sector all of 400 per one kilometer. Since the Finns had only 268 cannon, they could mount only 5 for every kilometer. The artillery odds were thus over 20 to 1 in the attacker's favor. Besides, with some 400 bombers and 600 fighters thrown into the fray, the Soviet forces had overwhelming air superiority. Official Russian records reveal that during the summer offensive, aircraft of the 13th Soviet Air Force carried out "more than 9,000 combat missions" against the Finnish forces.
The artillery fire aimed at Finnish targets has been described by many researchers as the most massive in world military history up to date.
At the critical Ihantala sector, however, the Finnish defenders managed to concentrate their fire to the extent of smashing the advancing Soviet spearhead.
In the Russian book Bitva za Leningrad 1941-1944 (The Battle of Leningrad) edited by Lt.-Gen. S.P. Platonov, it is stated: "The repeated offensive attempts by the Soviet Forces failed . . . to gain results. The enemy succeeded in significantly tightening its ranks in this area and repulse all the attacks of our troops . . . During the offensive operations lasting over three weeks, from June 21 to mid-July, the forces of the right flank of the Leningrad front failed to carry out the tasks assigned to them on the orders of the Supreme Command issued on June 21st."
It was then that Stalin ordered the withdrawal from the Finnish front of the decimated elite divisions to join the forces advancing on Berlin.
This Finnish victory against the largest artillery bombardment in history became to be known as the 'Miracle of Ihantala'.
The Finnish victories in the battles of Tali-Ihantala and Vuosalmi halted the massive Soviet offensive of 1944 and won for Finland a negotiated armistice and saved the country from enemy occupation.

Get someone like this to replace the Mittens Spawn running the RNC first.. THEN do PR..not the state of PR... that just needs.... too much to post here today..
Been waiting 3 yrs for this. Now, get someone else like her to run PR for the RNC.
We are witnessing the Trump administration switching from defense.... to offence.
Trumps a counterpuncher. Keyleigh is an offense A10 Warthog.
I'd say more like a full battalion of artillery really.

No doubt. It's going to be Trump unleashed.
Trump moves in mysterious ways, but always wins.
I think you are correct. Every position and change has been strategic.
