Operation Unthinkable was a plan ordered by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and developed by the British Armed Forces at the end of World War II. The primary goal of the operation was declared as follows: "to impose upon Russia the will of the United States and the British Empire." [1] The word "Russia" is used heavily throughout the document, although no country by that name existed at the time.

The majority of the operation would have consisted of American and British forces, but would also would have entailed the use of up to 100,000 surrendered German soldiers. The plan was rejected by the British Chiefs of Staff Committee as militarily unfeasible and was never carried out. Churchill stated within the briefing documents for Unthinkable that it was a "precautionary study" of what he hoped was a "purely hypothetical contigency".[1] The Chiefs of Staff were concerned that given the enourmous size of Soviet forces deployed in Europe at the end of the war, and the perception that the Soviet leader Joseph Stalin was unreliable, there existed a Soviet threat to Western Europe. The report was initiated on 22 May 1945, before the US use of the atomic bomb had made apparent Soviet dominance more debatable.

That's not a first strike on the U.S.

That's a first use of nukes in Europe because they were convinced we were coming to get them (all that saber-rattling) and they knew they couldn't win any other way...

Someone once said, maybe Napoleon, that you can do anything with a bayonet except sit on it... With people like Jake, it wouldn't be a bad idea, in fact, it would be an improvement...

It's much easier to push the Overton Window back to the center, given the structural impediments built into our constitutional system. That's all that has happened, the right has moved it better and farther than the left, because we let them.

I don't take issue with Arvin's assessment, but you don't destroy the only political party that has any chance of pushing back, not now. That would be suicide. Patience. This will take years, and now is not the time for constitutional amendments doing away with the electoral college and other impediments. The center has collapsed and nature hates a vacuum but the level of polarization needs to subside.

Thanks for that.

I've been to your blog before...

If you haven't gotten it by now, you never will. It's the same point everyone here is making. You are ridiculous. That's why I ridicule you. You are not to be taken seriously, but I confess, like any half dead tiny rodent, the cats around here will amuse themselves for hours playing with you. If you'd just play dead, or wake up and die right, your torture would end. Then again, perhaps the idea of torture, of being tortured, is what fascinates you

If he's pardoning Scooter so he can go after the real guilty parties, like the Libby jury had wanted when they considered Libby was due a pardon.

As Veteran Novice posits in the previous thread...

The "real criminals" in the Scooter Libby case were the opposition party (Democrats) who have "criminalized politics" and put an "innocent man" (convicted by a jury of his peers) behind bars. This is the only explanation for this doublethink.

I know what you mean. I just posted this in the next thread which I know you'll read...

This is the Big Picture I tend to see: Democrats=Criminals

My point is, as Veteran Novice has observed, I think correctly, as I have felt, we don't need to help them criminalize being a Democrat.
