Patton was right, and Eisenhower is going to be exposed by historians for his short-sightedness.

Ukraine barring Russian “ships of aggression” from the Black Sea ports and Poland immediately signing a “defense shield” agreement were frankly, in diplomatic terms instantaneous.
Along with the show of unity of all the former Russian satellites heads of state flying immediately to Georgia, along with SoS Rice....I believe the Russians know full well that aggression against Poland would instantly bring reprisal.
Big Deal, the Russians cut ties with NATO, they’ll have to come up with a better hand at this point if they want to play poker.
I did find that notifying Norway, of all countries, as a rather bizarre way to make a statement.

Ike is the one who brought evolution into public schools and started us on the road to liberalism with the 60s. I hold no love for that man.

Patton was right, and it is sobering to think of the millions that might have been saved had he been allowed to do what he wanted.

Already has been, I’m afraid. What about Roosevelt? Yep. Him too.
