I can't even figure out what he thinks he means: we should've stopped Hitler before he invaded Poland? How does that make D-Day a failure?
That he would even utter that sentence shows how rotten his brain has become.
Yeah. He's talking about appeasement. Not very clearly, and idk if Russia is 1930s Germany, but his point was that even getting to D-Day was a failure. That it didn't even need to occur.
I would disagree bc Hitler gonna Hitler, but damn if he didn't misspeak.
He would have been the first guy they sent to the camps wearing a Pink Triangle. It would not have ended well for him. Something is broken in his brain.
Not to mention the thousands of troops who lost their lives on the beaches of Normandy. I’m surprised their collective rolling in their graves hasn’t caused a small earthquake Colleville-sur-Mer
He’s mentally a child who can’t function unless he picks a big daddy figure to farm out all his thoughts and opinions to.
Around the time that McCain was nearing death Graham imprinted on to Trump and the rest is history
He's always been a rudderless but ambitious man. At least when he had his friendship with McCain, some of John's views of the world and politics rubbed off on Lindsey.
But in his neediness since McCain's passing, Graham lampreyed onto Trump, and he's as much of an ass as the one he's suckered onto.
I think he probably, and I'm doing some heavy lifting for him here, is trying to say that it was a series of other failures to stop Hitler sooner that resulted in d-day having to happen in the first place.
His ability to recognize that and still support Trump is beyond galling.
It may be a reach; I’m taking his words literally, because he is educated enough to express his thoughts accurately, without a need for interpretation.
Sounds like he's saying that D-Day was the consequence of our failure to stop Hitler earlier, which is reasonable. I assume he was making an analogy to Ukraine. If we have to land millions of American troops in Europe to drive out Putin, that would be a failure too.
Sure, but there was such a strong isolationist sentiment in the US that it would have been impossible to intervene before the Pearl Harbor attack. The most charitable interpretation of this is that it’s ignorant Monday morning quarterbacking almost 80 years late. It’s just a dumb ahistorical take.
Maybe that'sthe point he is trying (with incredibly bad wording) to make.
Parallel with Ukraine today. By refusing to give Ukraine whatever they need to curb stomp Putin right now, we're letting him grow, we'll have to expend more resources, including human lives, American lives, to stop him later.
Agreed on all points. The Allies failed w/ appeasement, but Hitler was gonna do a Hitler no matter what. D-Day would have likely been unnecessary had France decided to update its Army or actually, ya know, shoot the freaking Nazis, but this isn't 1939. Putin isn't Hitler. And Ukraine isn't Poland.
Like, morally? Politically? Operationally? Militarily? Because the landing sites (serendipitously) weren’t all in the same place? Because they lost huge numbers of tanks offloading? Because it took longer than best-case to link up? Is there any reasoning here at all?
I wonder what Lindsey's speech would be as he was standing in front of the 100+ left veterans sitting in front of him who lost their friends and fellow soldiers, watch them being gunned down in order to save democracy. What would Lindsey say to them? Sorry guys, what you did was a failure.
I keep wondering the same thing about Ted Cruz, at least by the people.
And from the party, the two drunks Greene and Boebert...the party of "women shouldn't be heard, and only seen if they're purchased escorts".
