1. I watched a TV show in the past week, where the chief character (a lady in her 30s) had gone to some psychic course, graduated after a 'test', and was now a crystal-ball 'reader'.
In the 1970s....99-percent of people being told this....would have laughed and been amused. Today? I'd say 20-percent would be willing to buy into this and whatever she saw in the crystal ball.
We are as a society.....dragging ourselves to a new state of mind, where we believe BS.
2. Trump saying he wanted more generals like Hitler had?
I laughed over the story. First, it comes ONLY from one single source....his EXEC....who happens to remember this now, not 4 years ago.
What I suspect happened? Trump often tests the confidentiality of his people....telling one or two people a comment....to see if they leak the comment later, and this sounds like such an episode.
Harris running around for the final two weeks.....uttering Hitler-chatter? If this is the strategy......it's a one-star plan.

As much as I admire and respect German people as a foundation of the European continent we know today, German (Prussian/Austrian (Hapsburg!)) armies habitually failed to win much of anything.
Despite cutting-edge technology and the abilities to craft pretty much anything to do with slapping evil enemies upside the head, despite the determination of individual German soldiers and sailors, their aircraft and ships inevitably land in the scrap-yard, recycled into fine fine splendid tankards for their excellent beers.

And 'yes', I thoroughly enjoyed the 1972 movie CABARET, especially the segment of the rural folks at the outdoor pub singing TOMORROW BELONGS TO ME.
As today, their leadership failed to accomplish much, failed to account for anomalies anybody outside The Circle could see coming a mile away.

* invade Russia in the winter
I'll just add a note here....had Russia decent roads like you saw in Belgium/France....the blitz-concept would have prevented a long drawn out invasion....lasting into winter.
