Did the allies seek reconcilement / rebuilding with Germany before defeating Germany? NO
One has to WIN before offering reconcilement.
Mattis is a tool for using that analogy! Makes me sick.
Let's play WHAT IF…
What if the seeming gulf between Esper and POTUS over the Insurrection Act is a ploy much like POTUS' statement intitally saying he will be the one who decides when the country opens after COVID…
Then after the governors demand they have that power, he says … sure, you got it. Thereby giving him the opportunity to show the ineffectiveness of D govs.
POTUS has never said he wants to use the military, he has only said he will if necessary.
I just remember POTUS telling us…
The leaks are real, the news is fake.
