And then the ones who don't get away with the risky things, you say they're idiots.

But it's dicey.

Define win.

Right?

What is win?

If Germany's win means controlling the entire continent, plus Britain, plus Russia, you come up with one answer.

Right?

If Hitler had just done the Anschluss, right, that's Austria joins, and maybe done the Sudeten number, which is a large German population in Czechoslovakia, and quit, he'd be called Bismarck II, a genius.

Like, no losses gets to keep that bigger area.

But that's not who he is.

So you need to define what win is for both the Germans and then both for the Allies to determine what's feasible and what's not feasible.

Germany potentially can be invaded overland everywhere, whereas Britain can't.

And then Germany just cannot deploy a navy the way Britain can.

It's just geography.

And therefore, Germany should have bought a completely different navy, skipped the surface fleet, buy a lot more U-boats.

Maybe they would have zapped the British before the United States gets its act together in either world war.

Right?

Do it fast.

Do it.

All right, counter-argument.
