I don't see Hitler and Mussolini's grandsons ruling Germany and Italy.

[icepush]

Believe it or not, Mussolini's granddaughter is a fairly influential former politician within Italy

[portaouflop]

Anecdotally Mussolini’s granddaughter has been a member of both houses of the Italian Parliament as well as the European Parliament.

Germany was split in half for 45 years. The Marshall Plan was the largest economic development operation in history. Meanwhile, the GOP has decided that the entire concept of foreign economic aid is bad because a theater somewhere was too woke.

Regime change and nation building worked so well in Afghanistan and Iraq. Onward to more death and suffering, I guess.

[nomat]

how much did it cost to rebuild germany? and how many trillions did we flush down the drain attempting to put together a functioning government in iraq and afghanistan?

where is DOGE when you actually need them?

[spacecadet]

Are they not there DOGE-ing as we speak?! lol.
