There is something inherently unlikable about Trump. Perhaps that stupid comb over, fake color, fake tan, or the pursed lips that resembles a butt hole always spewing vulgarities. And I'm not even getting into his idiotic nonsensical ideas. The guy is a fool of the tenth degree. Sure you might say, crazy like a fox but I don't want PT Barnum running my country.
Aside from Putin he is the biggest asshole on the planet but since Putin is currently the fifth wealthiest person in the world, Trump is just a small time street hustler.
The Trump government - The slow unfolding of a train wreck of epic proportions. He has already doubled back on most of his major campaign promises - vague as they were.
Nothing will really be "known" until he's in office as president. There's a lot of hysteria floating around out there that is pure speculation.
What you said. Especially since the Republicrat control of Congress isn't the two thirds majority needed for various and sundry procedural votes that are often needed to bring legislation to the floor for a vote. Even with a majority, there's enough moderate and red senators and representatives that do not agree with Trump that passing votes still aren't guaranteed, especially if it will reduce revenue for said congresscritter's cronies.
dear gods you really are totally detached from reality.
Was this supposed to be an argument or evidence of your claims or something?
now that would have ended in glorious bloody and humiliating defeat.
For the USSR, yes. That’s the idea.
The USSR had nearly 13 million men (and women) in their armed forces by 1945 and not forgetting the t34 and t34-85 tanks (about 12k) that out classed most if not all of the Allied tanks.
All of Russia’s first-class aviation fuel was supplied by the USA. Their boots and most of the uniform material, as well. Blue rubber for their tires, all of their aluminum, fully ⅓ of their munitions, over 500,000 trucks (all far better than the 200,000 Russia produced themselves during the war). Upgunned (76mm) Sherman tanks were a big part of the Russian drive through the Balkans, where hundreds of them participated and had a measure of success. Aerocobras, P40s, C-47s, and A-20s (18,000+) all considerably assisted the Russian war effort. Almost all telephone communication was over American phones. The Russians produced 92 railway locomotives; they got 2,000 through lend-lease.
Well over half the Luftwaffe was engaged in the west from 1942-5, and 75% of German aircraft casualties were against the western Allies. Each U-boat cost 5,000,000 Marks to build. The Germans built over 1,000. A Panther tank cost 117,000 Marks, That means about 40,000 tanks were not built so that the Germans could wage the War of the Atlantic. Think 40,000 panthers might have made a difference against an unallied Russia in the East? Each V2 rocket cost, in labor and material, the same as 3.5 fighter planes. The Germans launched over 3,000 V2s. Do the math on that.
The British and Americans deployed over 20,000 heavy bombers against the Germans, causing great destruction. The Russians never developed one. The Allies supplied 317,000 tons of explosive materials, including 22,000,000 shells–over half the total Soviet production of ~600,000 tons. Additionally, the Allies supplied 103,000 tons of toluene, the primary ingredient of TNT. In addition to explosives and ammunition, 991,000,000 miscellaneous shell cartridges were also provided to speed up the manufacturing of ammunition. In addition to military equipment, other wartime commodities were essential to the effort. These included 2,300,000 tons of steel, 229,000 tons of aluminum, 2,600,000 tons of petrol, 3,800,000 tons of foodstuffs, 56,445 field telephones, and 600,000 kilometers of telephone wire. The Soviet Union also received 15,000,000 pairs of army boots. Lend-lease aircraft amounted to 18% of all Soviet air forces–20% of bombers, 16% of all fighters, and 29% of naval aircraft.
There were also 10,000 heavy caliber anti-aircraft guns defending the Reich. Do you think those would have shored up German defenses in the East?
What would have happened if Rommel’s Africa Corps and the 30+ German divisions in France would have been in the Don bend in fall 1942 protecting Stalingrad instead of waiting for British and American divisions to land? What would have happened if the 400,000 troops stationed in Norway could have helped Army Group North capture Leningrad? What would have happened if, in 1944, the German armies trying to hold the divisions fighting in Italy and the Balkans could have been freed to fight against the Russians in the south? What would have happened if, in 1944, the German armies trying to hold the Allies out of France could have been sent to Bylorussia prior to Bagatron? The Germans were never really able to muster more than half their strength against the Russians. They were fighting a technological war against the Brits and Americans that required a huge manufacturing effort.
Russia gives the western allies no credit for tying down so many German resources and destroying so many others (30% of 1944’s total production) with their strategic bombing campaign. Russians like to think themselves hard and are proud of the fact that over 20,000,000 Soviet soldiers died in WWII, when that only shows how useless and undisciplined Russian soldiers are. You know absolutely nothing whatsoever about the time period. Operation Unthinkable ends with the fall of the USSR in six months, no question about it. Lend-Lease was the only reason the commies survived past ’42.

Sorry TS you know every thing as per usual. Though nice deflection with the pre45 info as its not relevant as your supposition that Patton would have toppled the USSR in six months is as usual just another revisionist delusion.
