I agree with you, however by the time of the fall of France in 1940 most thought, well he was right about this why not about the rest. And IMHO they would have been right if not for the U.S. entry into the war.
The same tactics are being used, no doubt. Divide is the name of the game.
However this time it is .gov over the entire world that are in lock step. I doubt this one will fall apart in my life time, but it is sure going to get rocky. There will be a "great reset" and it will be ugly.
I am just saying your linking the two together and saying look how that worked out is not a good link. A better link would be Russia, Cambodia, Uganda, or I think the best link would be Zimbabwe, that is what is going to happen here, for everything down to the elections. How long will it be before we see 100million $ bills in this country.
