Gonna start betting futures on Wall Street based around the likelihood of Israel going "fuck it, let's just kill all of them already"
I mean they already believe they can do no wrong and that no matter how right they are that they will be vilified by the entire world, and everything they do is just one more step up the Fascist escalator, and ethnic wars always turn into a blood orgy at some point.
Dunno if Pakistan will actually do anything, they've been threatening India with much worse forever and haven't acted on it. And they've had border clashes with bullets going in both directions.
Still, if it did come to blows, the US is pretty efficient at conventional warfare- the only warfare they've ever prepared for- so I doubt Pakistan would win. Of course if they decide to go the unconventional route then the US is fucked, as evidenced by their inability to grasp any decent COINOP strategy after Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq.
lol, what the hell is this trying to prove? Do you even have any idea about the number of polarity reversals the democrats and republicans went through over the last century or so?
Saying a leftist/democrat today is the same as a leftist/democrat from the civil war is like saying the earth's continents were always in the shape they've been in and that Pangea never happened.
Democrats of the 1860s are absolutely nothing like Democrats of today. In fact if I recall correctly, it was Rush Limbaugh- that Republican lover- who said slavery wasn't all bad because, and I quote, "the streets were safe at night."
But hey, it's ok to be ignorant of history and think that Republicans have always been heroic fighters for civil rights while the Democrats haven't (LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act while uttering the phrase "I've just handed the South to the Republicans"-helluva prophecy when Nixon enacted the Southern Strategy)
I mean I know this is all part of a concerted effort by Republicans to brand the Democrats as The Heralds of All Evil and the Reps as the Champions of All Good (There's no way MLK Jr would have voted Republican today) and it's pretty disgusting and obvious. But go ahead and spit your half-truths, I mean this country's fucked anyway. No amount of blithering on the internet will do anything.
There's kind of a narrative in the US that goes like this:
The German war machine of the 40s is something to be admired because of how professional, efficient and effective it was. Admiration of Erwin Rommel is probably the paramount example of this. Since he was allegedly (never proven to be) part of the July 20 assassination plot against Hitler and killed himself, he's seen as some kind of heroic figure.
I've met plenty of people who thought this way: that there's nothing wrong with admiring the quality of the Wehrmacht since they were supposedly just guys following orders(Nuremburg defense) and the fact that they weren't comprised solely of true-believer type Nazis, it's ok to be fascinated by them. Admiring the SS might be ok to these people too just as long as you are admiring their military proficiency.
Of course most people don't know that it wasn't just the SS and Einsatzgruppen who were committing atrocities- the Wehrmacht did them too- but even if the Wehrmacht-philes knew they committed atrocities they'd probably still rationalize it.
Of course the fact that this guy is cosplaying as an SS tank commander kind of makes it a bit more questionable.

if she does win an election then obviously Delaware deserves exactly whatever it gets
