JD Vance is seen here embarassing himself showing that he does not know basic American WW2 history. Historically, WWII ended with the unconditional German surrender in May 1945 after Berlin's fall and Hitler's suicide, and 1)
Japan's capitulation in September 1945 after U.S. atomic b0mbs and Soviet invasion of Manchuria. Those who argue post-surrender terms occurred fail to understand that the core outcomes stemmed from total military defeat rather than bargaining.
2)
To suggest otherwise is ludicrous. The
Greatest Generation's soundly defeated our enemies and came home to parades and a heroes welcome.
This also shows how stupid our mainstream media is as there was no correction of JD Vance.
3)
Vance's false framing risks projecting weakness toward authoritarian regimes rather than emphasizing decisive military outcomes

"The Government of the People's Republic of China has decided to enact a new law, protecting jobs of those displaced by AI.

The employer must keep the employee on unless and until an alternative position can be found or created with equivalent income and prospects."
"In other parts of the world, forcing a company to do this would be prohibitive. But this points to the need to do something."

"In most of the West, a worker displaced can turn to government unemployment programs, but these programs rarely provide the same income. Most often much less income, and for a limited amount of time.

Because Moses sends twelve spies to the land of Canaan. 1)
Forty days later they return, carrying a huge cluster of grapes, a pomegranate, and a fig, to report on a lush & bountiful land. But ten of the spies warn that the inhabitants of the land are powerful and warriors but only Caleb & Joshua insist that the land can be conquered.

The people whine and cry that they’d rather return to Egypt. So it is decided that Israel’s entry into the land shall be delayed forty years, during which time that entire generation will die out in the desert.

just as Somali pirates were hijacking ships some time ago, a terrorist state could use its resources to interrupt maritime traffic at will, and it could as well be a disruptive force for its neighbors, meaning everything from Ethiopia to Egypt to its north, and

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "The Los Angeles Times published a counter to the claims of fraud in the LA vote, but their response sounds more convoluted and impossible than the original complaint.
1)
The complaint? It was noticed that late vote counts had lots of late votes for Mayor Karen Bass and Nithiya Raman, and not one vote for Spenser Pratt. Statistically, in an honest vote, that would be impossible.
2)
And when something in a vote is statistically impossible—the reasonable and responsible opinion is to believe there has been fraud.
But, the LA Times has an excuse. Now, listen to this.
