Exactly. Operation Barbarossa kicked off almost 6 weeks late because Hitler refused to start the invasion while the British were mucking around in Greece. He wanted to remove that "thorn in his side" before going ahead with Barbarossa. Guderian and OKH told him not to worry about it.
The invasion still could have met its time-table, but halfway to Moscow, Army Group center was diverted south to the Ukrain. By the time Army Group Center was back on track and moving on Moscow, it was too late to take Moscow before winter set in.
Commenting on Hitler's interference with the plans for the invasion of Russia, Heinz Guderian said, "I could never have believed that a really brilliant military position could be so screwed up in two months."
In retrospect, perhaps the most important allied effort early in the war was the attempt to help Greece against the Nazi invasion. In purely military terms on the ground, it was a failure. But it delayed Operation Barbarossa for a critical period and may have been the action that won the war. A successful operation Barbarossa may well have knocked Russia out of the war as it was intended to do. At the very least, it would have extended the war for several more years.
Jews invented communism? The word communism was coined in 1840 by John Goodwyn Barmby in reference to followers of the French revolution era Grachus Babeuf. Marx himself was the son of converted Jews who was himself quite anti-semitic. And 1920s Berlin was one of the cultural capitals of Europe filled with great writers and musicians.
Sounds like PJB is blaming Churchill for the Holocaust. He is deranged.
“But I wonder what the general reaction would be to an enthusiastic, unabashed call to freepers to expunge Pat Buchanan from conservatism. Thoughts?”
I don’t know; I am composing my emails now.
I ask others to join in.
Pat gives conservatives a bad name, and needs to go away. He does not represent conservatives and should not be used as our voice.
Can I get second? (Or a third, as I think Huck is my second.)
I have seen claims that World Net Daily is associated with alleged cult leader Roy Masters. I don’t know if that’s true, but WND has never impressed me.
High volume. Articles on Israel can also be found by clicking on the Topic or Keyword Israel, WOT

The Holocaust was not a cause of the war, but a consequence of the war. No war, no Holocaust.
That's true, the treatment of Jews wasn't a cause of the war, though in retrospect most American's consider the nature of the Nazi as clear evidence of the evil we were confronting. Discarding it's relevance one must accept several things. That the pre-war treatment of Jews under the Nuremburg laws was just fine. For Jews, no citizenship, removal from jobs, pensions, loss of property. Not much to criticize there Pat, and certainly no hint as to what was to come. The slaughter of political dissidents, that's fine. So much for criticism of Stalin on that score. Can't criticize the gulags if you accept the Nazi camp system. Homosexuals, the retarded, heck, they should die.
Of course underlying Pat's worldview is the fact that Europe, East and West, under the Reich for a millenia would be preferable to a free Western Europe, the East under the Communist heel for 4 decades.
There is a whole book on the topic, To Eliminate the Opiate, by Orthodox Jewish Rabbi and Chief Justice of the Supreme Rabbinical Court of the United States, Marvin S Antelman. I suggest you read it.
Right. It was in the Med. The Brits controlled the Med.
I someone had shot the Kaiser before WWI, Hitler and Stalin may have been irrelevant.
Marx was instructed in communism by Reform Rabbi Moses Hess. See post 87.
Woodrow Wilson put two words out and the Nationalists believed him. Those two words are dogging us to this day: self determination.
I’ve read Mein Kampf.
He didn’t want to rule the world, he just wanted to rule Europe, and wanted to arrange for Japan to rule Asia and the USA to rule the western hemisphere. England, being isolated by water (he was a hydrophobe), was to be left alone as a self-governing fluke.
He laid out his plans. Yes, the Holocaust was intended. No, he did not want to take over the world, just the whole of Europe.
Although the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion is a proven fraud, the answer is yes. See post 87.
They were treated in a way Pat would consider appropriate for a sovereign power. Strip them of citizenship, employment, and property. Nothing wrong with that is there? As I heard him comment on a radio show, it's bad, the Arabs did it too and no one complained.
I just posted a vanity on the subject. Maybe we can at least get a freeper discussion going on it and see what happens.

Hopefully it doesn’t become a flame war/dustup.
If Adolph had passed his college painting class, he would have been a forgotten artist.
Buchanan is a very warped fellow.
Yeah. Living an hour's drive from the REAL San Francisco, makes me want to overthrow the US government, take over the whole world, and kill all the Jooooooooooos.
Crystal(nacht) clear reasoning there, Carrie
