I thought Germany tried to go through Ukraine to get to Baku and the oil there and that allies stopped that. That might have changed the outcome if they were successful with that, but it was far away. I think that was in the "Why We Fight" TV series, which might have been more propaganda narrative, but I think that was true that they were fuel limited.

@aleksadodic5102 I don't think Israel has any choice in what they do. I don't particularly like and I rarely agree with Elon Musk, but even he understood ( after all his previous anti-semitic ramblings ) ... “There's no choice but to kill those who insist on murdering civilians” - Elon Musk Also the writings and experience of Mosab Hassan Yousef, the Green Prince, Son Of Hamas are very compelling in explaining from the inside what Islam is, what Hamas is, and how do view and respond to it. We have millions of people in the world stuck in a 7th century BS ideology trying to re-emerge in the present day chaos to take over.

A long time ago I heard a talk that I cannot now identify or remember much of, but the story was that Hitler commissioned 3 studies about invading Russia. The majority said it could be done, and there was one that predicted failure - but that study was lost or waylaid and never presented to Hitler. The thought being there was some interest group that wanted very much for Hitler to invade Russia, and that it could have been some Western, probably British intelligence group that NEEDED Germany to open a two front war.

I'd be curious too, what do you disagree with JM about? I've disagreed with him recently about his vision of Israel and Palestine.

It's weird to hear Lex talking about the fighting spirit of Ukrainians and I am not so sure. I've seen some historic videos ( maybe BS propaganda ) but the thesis was that the Ukrainians were vicious, and they hated the Jews and that this was noticed by Germany and Ukrainians were used for ethnic cleansing and manning the extermination camps because a lot of Germans could not stomach it. I believe that Lex is of Russian Jewish descent from Tajikistan? ( he is the exact spitting image of my dad at this age whose forebearers also originated in the same area ) so I wonder why he identifies so with Ukrainians?

Why do you think CZ or PO are in a class to rival Germany? I've never considered that. Germany wanted to have an empire like all the other "big boys" for raw materials, and they looked around and the whole world was already divvied up. I never though or Poland of CZ as wanting or working to build and empire. Is there any evidence that PO or CZ has designs on attacking Germany?

Hitlers innovation if you can call it that was to use stigmatized scape-goated civilians as labor and capital resources .. down to their personal possessions and even their teeth. It was logically consistent perhaps to the German people, and it took them getting completely destroyed to see what they did. Today I think Germany has changed their soul to be more humanistic ... and considering their immigration probably too humanistic.

Almost 100 years later now Hitler and Napoleon are both being brilliantly put in perspective by John Mearsheimer. Where is German society does their brilliance come from - because they are really good engineers, and the Nazis put that engineering together to create a society as cold-blooded as the Islamic Caliphates. Thank God the Islamic empire is so fragmented today, and not as functional or unifed as the Germans.

16:34 - The Hunger Plan ( i'd not heard of this before ) Chilling and nauseating. Hunger plan intended to create an artificial famine in Eastern Europe, which would have resulted in deaths of around 31 to 45 million inhabitants through forced starvation.
