WW III just around the corner for the holidays .

[Bob Womack]

People don't understand how stretched thin Hitler was when he rolled up to the coast of France and stared at the UK. He's lost a LOT of men in the various Bliztkriegs and there was a question of whether the people would support any further war. At that point he hadn't completed the total domination of his population. It made him very skittish of a failed operation. The Kanalkampf was conducted in as an exploratory operation that allowed him to back out - "say nothing, act normal."

Putin has hung it all out. He's got pretty good control of information/propaganda but the populace know exactly what he is doing. He promised remuneration for fallen soldier's families and hasn't been able to go through with it. They say he has lost a million casualties up to this September. He's lost one third of his Navy to a country without a Navy! He is a superb political strategist and can knife fight with threats with the best. However, I'm beginning to wonder when will his populace have had enough?
