“ I wonder what World War II would have cost us in today’s
dollars?”

Totally irrelevant. But you have the John McCain talking points down to a T. Every war he wanted to get us ulinvolved in was “another World War II”. Every country he wanted us to Igor was “another Hitler”

You McCainiacs need to learn more history than just the years from 1938 to 1945. History is many thousands years old, and NcCainiacs are ignorant of all but fives years

Also, you Russia haters forget we were Allie’s with Russia in the World War II years that you can never stop invoking as your one and only historical analogy. And Churchill as Prime Minister in the early 50s argued for peace talks summit with Stalin. I believe Churchill even coined that term - summit - in calling for a big powers meeting with Russia. This was when Russia ruled Ukraine - and Churchill never called for going to war with Russia over Ukraine

Learn some history, McCainiacs!!!!

Here's the McCain campaign photo I created in 2008.

Sure looks like I was impressed doesn't it.

I didn't vote for the presidential slot that year.

If you were half as smart as you think you are, you wouldn't
prattle about others needing to learn more about history.

Putin is doing exactly what Hitler did at the start of
WWII, and so it does actually matter what it might cost
if we had to fight another world war.

You've got a big mouth for an illiterate person.

We were allies out of necessity, against a mutual enemy, not because we shared values.

And Patton warned us about the Russkies

Russia was an ally to the extent they were fighting against Hitler.

The communists were never our friend or ally. They wanted us gone

THE NEW YORK TIMES, 5 March 2012—On March 5, 1946, Winston Churchill delivered his famous “Iron Curtain” speech, officially titled “Sinews of Peace,” at Westminster College in Fulton, Mo. After being introduced by President Harry Truman, Churchill, the former prime minister of Britain and now the opposition leader, warned of the threat posed by the Soviet Union, a World War II ally of Britain and the United States.
The New York Times reported that “Mr. Churchill painted a dark picture of post-war Europe, on which ‘an iron curtain has descended across the Continent’ from Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic.”
“He strongly intimated a parallel between the present position of the Soviet Union with that of Germany in 1935,” wrote The Times.
