Interesting in our time

Seventy three years ago this coming July 20, a dashing colonel, Claus von Stauffenberg, blind in one eye and missing fingers on one hand, placed a bomb under a conference table in East Prussia. The plan, called Operation Valkyrie, was to kill Hitler, declare martial law to put down an alleged SS coup, and to install a government that would negotiate an end to the war with the Allies.

The plan almost worked: several men in the room were killed, and if Stauffenberg had either used two bombs (one was left behind for reasons that remain unclear) or if the conference had taken place in the usual airtight bunker (it was moved to an airy hut because of the heat), everyone would have been killed. After it emerged that Hitler had survived, the coup in Berlin fell apart,

Modern plotters of all creeds rely on the basic concept called "KISS" ..."keep it simple stupid". What the hell was wrong with those people when they relied on a one eyed assassin who was missing fingers? If they thought it out they might have just put a bullet in Hitler's head and wait for the chaos.
 
Stauffenburg was an elitest who simply wanted to replace Hitler.

He saw the same form of fascist government as reasonable....but just not with the madman at the helm.

It took the onset of the deadliest war in the history of mankind for people who thought like Hitler and supporter his rise to realize he was a madman. Let's hope it doesn't come to that with Trump.

FDR may have been mad when he issued an executive order to incarcerate American citizens without due process. Harry Truman may have been mad when he dropped two nuclear weapons on a defeated country that was trying to negotiate surrender terms. JFK might have been mad when he let his brother use the CIA to raise an invasion army to invade a sovereign country. Bill Clinton might have been mad when he was literally caught with his pants down in the oval office and decided to bomb a defenseless country in Europe. Obama might have been mad when he told Americans that the U.S. would be weaned off oil while the rest of the World was gobbling it up. The radical left wing thinks President Trump might be mad because he brought two hundred thousand jobs to the U.S. within two months in office. Go figure.

It already has.

However for now DJT is imitating mostly Reagan and not so much Adolf anymore, at least not lately.

If DJT can manipulate the tax code with his export/import tax reforms, then he will bring a lot more jobs than just this back.

Sting the Wall Street capitalists in their wallets and it hurts them more than in their butts.

There is a lot of ignorant stuff in this post, but I would really appreciate a link for the 200k jobs TRUMP supposedly created.

You don't have to actually post the results, I've got a wiretap on you so I'll see you frantically Googling Breitbart articles to back your claims and know you are full of it

Do you need a link for FDR's madman executive order that authorized the incarceration of American citizens without due process or the fact that Japan was frantic to negotiate surrender terms when Truman dropped two nuclear devices or that JFK's mad brother was more interested in murdering the leader of a sovereign country than he was in being the Attorney General? You lefties started it with the absurd connection between Trump and the Nazi empire.

Nope, just the link I asked for. That will be all

They had tried to reason (from their pov of course) with the Brits for peace, the Allies wouldn't allow peace and wanted unconditional surrender.

Goering more than anyone wanted to sue for peace early on and was against Barbarossa.

Hitler wasn't mad and it doesn't assist in the study of history to keep saying that.
