Today is a very bad day for obammunism. There are time in history when you know you are about to clean somebody’s clock, but it hasn’t happened yet, so you’re not sure. Take the Normandy invasion. They had to be pretty sure they could pull it off. Certainly the weight of men and materiel had shifted the advantage to the Anglo/US alliance, and we would have gotten in there and kicked Fritz’s arse at some point, one way or another. But until it happened, one didn’t know for sure. That’s how I feel about this late rebellion on the part of the commies. I think we’re about to sweep them all out of Washington, but one can’t be too confident until it happens.
It also helped that the Germans had already lost over 3 million men killed in action on the Russian front when we invaded Normandy.
