At least Germany seems to have learned the bitter lesson of World War II. Wish Orange Boy and his millions of pathetic sycophants would read and understand this.

I was surprised and bolstered by Germany’s recommitment.

That is a very informative and important article linked in the OP. I'm sure it's too long for many to bother reading it, and some will dismiss it for not agreeing with their ideology. Too bad. They are the ones who need to read it the most, IMO.

Trump Says May 8 Will Be ‘Victory Day for World War II’

Excerpt:
The president’s proclamation came a week after he said he also wanted to rename Veterans Day as “Victory Day for World War I.” It was unclear if either would be an official holiday.

It was not clear if Mr. Trump intended to press lawmakers to make May 8 a federal holiday. Creating or amending federal holidays requires congressional approval.

In his post last week, Mr. Trump referenced the celebrations by America’s allies to mark V-E Day, for “Victory in Europe,” this year. “We did more than any other” country, he said, to achieve an Allied victory in World War II, a conflict that devastated most of Europe and huge parts of Asia.

The V-E Day commemorations this year in Britain, France, Canada and other U.S. allies mark 80 years since the formal end of World War II in Europe after Germany’s surrender.

Mr. Trump’s claim that the United States did more than any other nation to defeat Nazi Germany might be contested in Russia, which commemorates the Soviet victory over German forces in World War II on May 9 every year. The Russian Victory Day, which is meant to honor the 27 million Soviets who died in the war, is a national holiday and one of the most important days on the country’s calendar.

Veterans Day was originally called Armistice Day in the United States to mark the end of World War I. After World War II and the Korean War, it was renamed, and its scope was expanded to honor all U.S. military veterans. Memorial Day, which falls on the last Monday in May, specifically honors those who died while serving in the armed forces.

They are a nation of adults led by an adult.

If we do not learn from the past we are in danger of repeating our mistakes.

Now, now, let’s not refer to sneakers, fake “gold watches, meme crypto, and a Whitehouse Tesla dealership as trinkets.. . I’m sure the TX Trumpiteers think NOLA whorehouses are the height of fashion and a whorehopper president as a fashion icon…
