D-Day a lesson in deliberation, planning: Distinctly Catholic: In 1944, American, British and Canadian forces landed at Normandy and began the liberation of Western Europe. Let us consider what lessons D-Day has for us.
MGB: Crossing the channel was easy. Doing so with surprise was hard. The Russian front allowed it all to happen because it diverted forces from the coast of France to the east.
Had Stalin not won at Stalingrad, the eastern forces would have made attacking Normandy impossible. Planning is what had the U.S. stop their advance in Germany when they could have taken it all. Russia earned that much in the eyes of the Allies for their disproportionate sacrifice. The Baby Boom happened because Russia won the war for us.
On Trump (and why you interrupt a hallowed day like this by mentioning him), it is the uncertainty of what warming will do that gives him ammunition in resisting real measures. He is not wired to worry about the long term. Luckily, in the short term, he will be gone. For fortunately, fusion research is bearing fruit in Britain - outside the reach of the Koch brothers who would stop it. There is hope yet. (Hope was the key feature of D-Day).
