Let's go, Brandon!

[plain talk]

He also looked like a pompous fool.

[Eleutheria5]

Mama Mia!

Mussolini didn’t actually even make the trains run on time as the old saying went. He did, however, seriously undercut Operation Barbarossa by sheer incompetence in invading Greece without Funny Mustache Man’s OK. It took a couple of Panzer Corps out of the Soviet effort to dig Mussolini out of that one. Should we celebrate the guy’s sheer buffoonery? He did throw Antonio Gramsci into prison, though, so there’s that...

“The skies of Ethiopia wept with the poison of oppression”

🙄

[Vaquero]

So Guernica bad. The Red Terror where the communist ‘republicans’ killed tens of thousands of Catholic priests and nuns good??

It’s an Italian thing.

The man was evil ... there’s no need to rely on manipulated video clips.

The Left does the same thing with Mr. Trump.

[Reverend Wright]

Not to mention the Stalinist factions murdering other Leftist groups.

But for NeoCon Regime “conservatives”, cheering on Communists is “true conservatism”.

Yep, no good guys in the Spanish Civil War. Franco was the least worst choice.

It delayed Operation Barbarossa by six weeks. They might have made it to Moscow by winter if they had stuck to the original schedule.

Britain and France kissed Mussolini’s ass in 1938 at Munich and still even after the Germans invaded Poland in 1939 thought Mussolini could help to stop the Germans.

[NorthMountain]

Franco walked a fine line. He kept communists out of Spain (for which communists in America vilified him), and he kept Spain out of WWII.

[dfwgator]

And saved a lot of Jewish people.

[DIRTYSECRET]

The trains. I thought the people who ran them feared for their lives. The flick with George C. Scott was different.

[Mr. Blond]

Viva Franco.

[Vaquero]

I hated Hitler for his attacks on Western Europe. I had no problem with operation Barbarossa except that he didn’t beat the Soviets.

[353FMG]

But the trains ran on time.

[dfwgator]

Then hate Stalin for allowing Hitler to attack in the west with their non-aggression pact.

[Vaquero]

I always hate Stalin
