“We learned this lesson the hard way more than 80 years ago. Sadly, too many have forgotten it today.”
We learned MORE during the COLD WAR (which was far more recent than 80 years ago), when we decided that going into the Soviet’s backyard was NOT worth WW3 (this policy applied to Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Poland). Seems as though things worked out quite fine by NOT starting WW3.
But I do get the fact that WW3 Cheerleaders would rather NOT be reminded of how Reagan and others handled things in the recent past.
Hmmm....
