” media and academia has given the Left a very mistaken impression that victory is at hand, that they are now in a position to demand a “discussion” in which they are always correct and no one else has the right to speak. That’s the sort of thing that tends to start fights that nobody can stop. “
Brits...”We’ll seize the powder and guns at Concord and all of this rebellion will collapse”
Japan...”We destroy the US Fleet at Pearl Harbor and the Americans will be forced to sue for peace like the Russians did after Tsushima”
Civilians at Bull Run...”Lets go watch the battle, things will be over quickly, we may never see anything like this again”.
Santa Anna...”We’ll wipe out the Texian resistance movement at the Alamo and put a stop to this.....”
Hitler...”When we kick in the door of Russia, the whole rotten house will collapse”.
There is a long and grand history of miscalculations causing long and horrific suffering.
“Remember the Alamo!”
