The Japanese were not the only people suffering from "victory disease," in the early 1940s.

Hubris kills. It did kill.

Let's be clear from a historical perspective. Because of Munich, humanity experienced a great deal of suffering, perhaps more than it might have if the war started in 1938 rather than 1939.

I am the last to argue that the reign of the orange pedophile will not introduce vast suffering. Clearly it already has. This said, my point is that defeats, strategic or otherwise, are not necessarily losing the whole game.

The orange pedophile does not enjoy the same enthusiasm in this country as Hitler enjoyed in his in 1938. He is a much weaker and less focused character than the "victor" at Munich. The Pedophile is a weakling.

..is usually portrayed as a weakling, but in Munich he was wildly popular with the Germans, who hoped that war had been averted - and Britain's rearmament had a long way to go, the Spitfire build was just starting ... Lets hope we muddle through this time, despite some appalling leadership.
