  1.  @midwestreview6382  They did not invade in winter they invaded in June which is the start of summer. They went in thinking it would be a quick war and that they would win the war before winter but that did not happen at all. Russia did not fall apart or surrender and Germany got stuck and had to keep fighting for years to come. The winter was only part of the problem but not all of it. Putin made the same mistake invading Ukraine and now the Russian army full of recruits with no winter gear is about to face a Russian winter on the field unprepared for a disaster.

  2. Waste is just natural part of life more so in a war. Hunting down waste ends up chasing after your own tail. You want to always have more than the demand that is the solution to prepare for waste and have plenty more.

  3. Germany used un-sustainable methods of great abuse to get as far as they did, slave labor, theft from occupied countries etc, this works but for how long? These method are temporary. This is the same lesson to be learned today from Russian war in Ukraine you can see how Russia has run out of gear, men and logistics failures very similar to Germany in WW2. It is amazing that in 2022 it is possible to repeat errors from 70 years ago but Russia is not a country that likes to question itself and audit itself so not a surprise it is repeating mistakes from the past and now has a totally broken army. Russia is lucky that a large invader is not going to attack it because Russia would have nothing to stop them except nuclear weapons.

  4. In the USA everyone over age 65 is covered by universal health care and the Government funds their insurance called Medicare. Maybe one day in the future as US population rises and density increases maybe in 50-100 years they could extend to all the population, I can see that happen, but today it is only for people over 65. However the medical facilities will always be private. The real issue is that in the USA it is like 50 countries in one and each state has a different economy for example an emergency room visit in California is worth $3000 but in Maine it is $900 so if you unify in to 1 system you have a mess to deal with and balance the costs so it just would not work, you end up creating 50 NHS systems in 1 country. Now that would be a disaster imagine 50 NHS systems? No that's not going to work. Also keep in mind that unlike other large countries like Russia, Australia, Canada, Brazil in the USA people can live almost anywhere, you have some 100,000 towns and cities there is no way a top down Government can manage such a large system so it would lead to 50 independent systems which is really incredible overhead costs so not going to work. I have a friend who lives in the city of 1,000 people called Tonasket WA have a look on the map, you can barely find it and yet they have a nice local hospital funded by the community and local population who use the medical services if the system was managed by the Government they would not have any care and would need to travel to a larger city.
