One reason we did well in the Cold War face-off was that we had practitioners of Realpolitik who understood that as one diplomat said, "Sure he's a sonuvabitch but he's our sonuvabitch."

Wilsonian morons like Carter, and the Bushes, thought that our enemies fought by the Marquis of Queensbury rules, and that if we bared our throats or those of our allies, the enemy would be nice. They never tried to set up regimes that would be loyally proAmerican. And we have been paying the price ever since.

Yea that's true. WW2 was the last war our nation fought with the sole intention to win. FDR the socalist he was understood what war required of us. If we had been under Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, either Bush, Clinton, or current resident we would have lost WW2 I have no doubts in my mind.

Our responses when given to enemies should be like that of Bambino in the Trinity westerns. They hit us once and we knock them into another dimension of existence oblivious to the world around them LOL. Seriously there is no nice in war.
