Maybe he's more enamored with the whole "too incompetent to successfully assassinate him" part.
And the rest of us can anticipate the "but still tried" part.
Western media did a lot of nazi propaganda, from portraying them as more competent, disciplined, and technologically advanced than the allies to the "clean wehrmacht" to asiatic hordes myths.
Its not shocking that the dipshit-in-chief would buy into it.
The last world war or just the last war?
The dude who lost the last war was HIM.
The dude who lost wars before him was Dubya.
Would you prefer French generals? And didn't the British go to war over Polish independence, hard to say they won really. My choice would be that Russian hero, General Winter.
I'm going to bitch about the winter beating back the German.
The German had to stop their offensive in part because of winter, as the logistic network was too long and overcapacity to effectively bring winter gear up to the front.
But that's only part of it, the issue. The biggest issue is, the German army was just out of steam by December 1941. They had been fighting nearly non stop since March, 1st in Yugoslavia and Greece and then in the USSR with very little time to recover. The fighting in the USSR had been very costly in men, and the drive itself had left the tanks and trucks running ragged. The Germans needed to use the winter to bring up fresh troops, equipment and munition for large scale offensive in spring 1942.
Also there is probably something to be say about diminishing the achievement of Soviet Generals like Konev and Zhukov but I am too sleepy to finish my comment.
I respect your argument. I'd replace "out of steam" with "out of oil" and add an honorable mention for Tukhachevsky's theory contributions, but totally good point.
To be fair, only Генерал Мороз was also a veteran of the Napoleonic wars too.
What contrast? The topic is bloated, brainless orange things.
That should be thrown out in November
I love when the follow-up joke is better than the original.
Pumpkins can vary significantly in size, but giant pumpkins typically weigh from 68 kilograms (150 lb) to over 910 kilograms (2,010 lb), with some record-breaking specimens reaching weights of over 1,278.8 kg (2,819.3 lb).
What a liar!
But is that a real biological limit, or can we create an even more nightmarish monstrosity??
I wonder what growing the pumpkin in a space station would do, the fruit wouldn't have to be able to support its own weight at that point
With these massive pumpkins (I live in farm country and we need hobbies too) the single plant takes up pretty much the whole field, and more problematically, drinks somewhere around 200 gallons of water a day once they get big. So it’s more a logistics problem really.
If I could ever justify throwing a couple grand (I can’t and won’t) I’d love to try growing one hydroponically with a swimming pool as a reservoir.
1700 pounds and the green is all part of the same plant that supports the pumpkin:
So we actually do not know, if we include exotic conditionsXD But doesn't that count for many fruits?
We’re going to need a bigger space station.
Or floating in a pool

How big are they in volume?
A ton of water is just one cubic meter, so I suppose it's still not big enough to make a jack-o'lantern house.
(Which just so happens to be my only interest in large pumpkins)
Iirc it's also alot of empty space inside.
So maybe it's possible to grow a pumpkin large enough for a horse carriage and nobody has done it yet?
Unlikely to get a carriage, as I believe the nature of their flesh would collapse. Thye do however get big enough for a 1 person chariot.
Maybe not horse, but Swedish valhund I could believe
Absolutely
Really donald. Mr president. You want generals who are more like the ones who lost. you want losers? If the shoe fits, I guess.
i wonder how many Germans felt similar to howni feel, which is that the crimes against humanity are injurious but the incompetence is just insulting.
Like its bad enough that our civil rights are being taken out from under us, the death camps are horrifying, and the political malpractice is infuriating. But the fact that we're all letting people who are this stupid do all these things inflicts a level of psychic damage I can't properly articulate.
Arguably the reason Germany lost was that it had too many enemies simultaniously not that its military leadership was bad. In fact quute a few Generals and Admirals of Nazi-Germany were outright geniuses. But even with the best leadership you can't win a war that is simply overwhelming. Also the political decisions to make enemies left right and center is what got Germany in that position. Quute similarily to what is happening in the USA right now.
Hitler's generals were so afraid of him that they didn't even tell him about the D-Day landings for several hours because they didn't want to wake him up.
Misread as genitals
"No one knows how big genitals can get "
I know. But I ain't tellin'...
That's ok, you can show me later
Same lmao, and it didn't even seem out of place
Hmm... Pumpkins are orange and have no intelligence...
Trump is also orange and has no intelligence...
Is Trump just a big pumpkin? 🤔

Well, he does like to pump kin.
He's not wrong. I think we'd all love to see trump put a round or two into his own head, trapped like a rat in a bunker.
If he said that was his plan I think more people would be onboard with the ballroom.
Apparently pumpkins can get big enough to become president.
"I need the kind of genitals Hitler had" is funnier and therefore I choose to believe my misread version is reality, quote a rat demon scrotum.
That got me thinking, could pumpkins get even bigger in low G? If for instance there were sheltered greenhouse on the moon once we have colonies there.
So social media has been feeding me shorts of a woman who grows giant vegetables. To compete they can't break and there are a bunch of spots where if they grow too fast they get thin and split under their own weight.
Grow one so big you could live in a pumpkin shell like Peter the Pumpkin Eater's wife!
Love that it's in the "Health" category.
I know. But I ain't tellin'...
I wish we had those guys too, they turned on Hitler
Quick someone figure out what the tables in the white house are made of
Orphan bones?
Incompetent and methed up?
