Fighting the last war.

[kairos12]

History shows clearly the allies of WW1 prepared for WW2 by using outdated tactics and strategy learned in the Great War. There were signs the next war as going to be vastly different. The Spanish Civil War at the top of the list.

Ignorance of these changes lead to Blitzkrieg which overwhelmed the Allies and France fell in 40 days.

My concern is that Dems are fighting the last war. Mueller, Congress, the Courts are fighting the last war.

Blitzkrieg by Chump is now known: ignore court rulings, ignore subpoenas, threaten witnesses, payoff when you can't threaten, ignore Governmental norms, use the military as a prop, commit violence at political rallies, divert money from congressionally approved projects to corrupt political aims, intimidate the press, destroy the labor force, destroy relationships with allies, appoint judicial nominees with authoritarian leanings, and ally with foreign enemies.

"Strongman" takeover is very possible. I think DU followers are very aware of this.

I'm not sure about many others.

1. Not even fighting the last war well. This country is in big time appeasement mode.

2. The end game equals....

the Putin Federation writ large. That's what they want. Creating a kleptocracy out of a bankrupt shell like the former Soviet Union is one thing. Turning the richest nation the planet has ever seen into the same is something else entirely. That means global domination by fascism lite. We owe it to the rest of the world to make sure that never happens.
