CW2, bloody and muddy

Concur. Toward the end of the XX Century, I kept saying that the most analagous situation to that toward which we're now heading is that of the Finnish Civil War of 1918, when Finnish patriots forestalled attempts by their nations *progressives* to jump on the Bolshevik revolution's success in Russia.

Now that we're in the XXI Century, I still know of no better situation for comparison. And as we head toward the anniversary of that Finnish national bloodletting, I wonder if we'll last until 1018 before it blows the lid off.

Those Finns were some pretty wicked shots.

Oh, and these things have already been cloned. The mfgr is pretty red-faced about it.

If CWII becomes a nightmare come true in America....the losses in Finland wouldn't cover the losses in a single major metropolitan area in the U.S.....

"Americans" and others who live here - with allegiances to a entity beyond America and it's Constitution are VAST in number....

Now that the Left can see abject failure of their attempt to steal America through the Courts and Politics -- they may become emboldened to act out violently...

That would be their stupidest move of all....
There are MANY ready to respond violently to that foolishness.
