One defeat does NOT decide the entire war. Example:Sunday, June 22, 1941. Invasion of Soviet Union

[Stuart G]

...A terrible defeat that killed hundreds of thousands in the first few months, but it was not over at all.


...The invasion of the Soviet Union by Hitler. It looked very bad for months if you study it. That is often lost in the Sea of History. Yes, it very bad as the German's marched within in five miles of Moscow. But, the Soviets held and eventually turned the Germans back. It looked like certain defeat for the Soviets, but the winter arrived and the Germans were so sure they would win quickly and decisively. that the German generals did not plan for a winter..
...The Soviet winter that year, 1941-42, was especially cold, And the Germans did not have winter clothes to protect them as they fought. That turned the tide in WWII...The Soviets eventually turned the tide and forced them out and continued on to Berlin in 1945..


.........The lesson is: one defeat does not decide the war. Yes, Trump/McConnell may have won this one, but the big battle is November. Trump will not win in November. He is a liar and crook. As well as an ass**le.. More people know it now than ever. All around the world we know. The big battle is in November and Trump will not win.

1. I think that Republican Senators committed political suicide

en mass today.

[Stuart G]

2. ..Yes, with all the media coverage, and hatred of the process and name calling of Democrats..as

we tried to have a "fair trial", political suicide is what the Republicans did. They did not want a "fair trial" with witnesses..
...........Now you do not have to be brilliant to see what they did. No fair trial with witnesses. How does that sound? No witnesses at all. Those who saw exactly what happened, could not testify. Is that McConnell's idea of a ....Fair Trial?

...Time will tell. And over time, we will see the truth. I sure hope so. It ain't over till it is over. and ...........
it is not over. There will be a lot of fall back for what was done today. That is my opinion.

3. Don't forget the siege of Leningrad, one of the most horrifying sieges in history...

WIKI---

The siege started on 8 September 1941, when the Wehrmacht severed the last road to the city. Although Soviet forces managed to open a narrow land corridor to the city on 18 January 1943, the Red Army did not lift the siege until 27 January 1944, 872 days after it began. The blockade became one of the longest and most destructive sieges in history, and possibly the costliest in casualties suffered. Some historians classify it as genocide.[10][11][12]
