Another thing about the Left is that they want to win easily. They think it their right.

41 Republicans in the Senate coupled with a large majority of Democrats in the House do not give the Republicans any real power. Unless the Democrats don’t want to sit through fillibuster and break it.

Look at the USSR. How many hard fights did they get into after WWII? And even WWII was hardly their choice. They did not even invade Poland until they had the Nazis on their side. They wanted to win by proxy and default. Even Afghanistan was no supposed to be that hard, but a combination of U.S. support for the Mujadeen and their own poor tactics made it that way.

In contrast the U.S. approach to the Cold War was the exact opposite, as best described by the Admiral in the film “The Bridges of Toko Ri.” Stop them everywhere, beat them at everything, from the depths of the ocean to the seas of the Moon. We not only fought them but we quite deliberately always did it The Hard Way.
