If he's trying to flood the zone as some people think, then that means that they won't be able to keep track of all of the resistance either.

They couldn't win everything.

It’s hard to remember because it was short lived but this happened briefly last time too. It was the very public failed Obamacare vote that that ended it.

rickgigger.bsky.social•10 days ago

That is one reason I’m guessing trump is just avoiding legislative fights and trying to do an end run around it all.

deathbymeteor.bsky.social•11 days ago

Yup, overextending the supply lines of political capital means you get blunted and isolated once the resistance solidifies, and it doesn't take much to solidify it

Sounds like a good way to get a salient pinched off.

If nothing else, you push back everywhere because everything they destroy is something you have to rebuild later.

We’re still in the opening maneuvers of Trump’s 3-day SMO. He very well may not have the logistics to maintain or retain. We have to decide if we want ammo or a ride.

Basically what happened to Russia's blitzkreig (yes I know the etymology of the term yall) attack on Ukraine--momentum stalled and it became a war of attrition. Still a dangerous war, but a more winnable one.

bobson-dugnut.bsky.social•11 days ago

Someone said " this is his best shot" so if we stop his blitzkrieg he will be exposed

Need to pull out all the stops now

mbdrapier.bsky.social•10 days ago

That’s still very much dependent on Roberts choosing to hold the line on impoundment etc.

Nazi lunatics gambling everything on a reckless push deep into territory currently occupied by sluggish liberals, catching them totally unaware? Let me tell you, it doesn't always end the way it started

Yes, but back then, the New World could rescue the Old World. Now- there is no one to rescue us.

The Muskrump insurgency.

Operation Barbarossa, which launched the Eastern Front, is also a similarly good analog (despite a different political ideology being involved), and had even more disastrous results. Sooner or later, Trump's going to run into his own Stalingrad ---or Bastogne--- of resistance.

Thanks for the thread

I hope you're right but 10 years of "the Dems are just playing 4d chess" and "they're giving them rope to hang themselves with" only to watch every single person avoid accountability for what they did makes me think this is more of a Battle of Korsun-Cherkassy pocket situation.

Battle of the Dolge

Operation Barbituates, based on Elons body language.

Great point Will.

remind me what power made the most intense sacrifices to generate the vast majority of the power necessary to defeat the nazis. was it a liberal state

badhorse.bsky.social•11 days ago

Depending on who you're obliquely referring to, is it someone who originally allied with the Nazis and turned on them only after Hitler stabbed them in the back and invaded their territory?

totallyfeckless.bsky.social•11 days ago

yes, the soviet union is the power that was overwhelmingly responsible for the defeat of nazi germany

cursed.monster•10 days ago

And also overwhelmingly responsible for their initial success

totallyfeckless.bsky.social•10 days ago

insanely ahistorical lie

dwilliamesq.bsky.social•11 days ago

In terms of people, yes. “Power?” Absolutely not. They would have been throwing rocks without the Allies.

dwilliamesq.bsky.social•11 days ago

We owe them for their sacrifices, certainly. But don’t act like they did it alone.

Doesn't work against socialists either.

Honestly we should benefit from a "Not One Step Back" order minus the draconian blocking detachments

psychopompgecko.bsky.social•10 days ago

There's a reason the USSR had to do that, especially after they spent the period before Hitler's invasion throwing their top military officers in the gulag.

they always seem to forget their guy blew his own head off in a hole in the ground while his capitol was bombed to rubble

"be insane and fight everyone everywhere" isn't a winning play

My father was with the Third Army (Patton) that rushed to relieve the 101st Airborne under siege at Bastogne.
