As FDR eloquently told us in his recent fireside chat, End Game is approaching. As Hitler tried to keep to many irons in the fire, he has spread himself too thin like so many leaders before him. As such a radical and self-proclaimed genius, he has certainly taken the bait and pitfall of so many who have fallen before him. Just as the Germans experienced in World War II, unrealistic plans for uncontested success that had to be attained in a microscopic timeline have folded back upon Germany with teeth. This time around, there was more initial success than the Schlieffen Plan as that plan experienced failure the second the Germans tried to take strongholds in Belgium. This time, Germany had the upper hand but was a nation that developed a plan that relied upon fueling the war effort with resources of nations that still had to be conquered. Germany was not afraid to backstab their allies, the Soviets because they just "knew" they would have all the access needed from their soon aquired eastern living space. As soon as the Soviets stopped them in Stalingrad, Germany had an expiration date and now the Nazis are starting to stink. They wagered on a foolhardy gamble, in my opinion.

In the Pacific, Japan is more of a bug to be squashed for the Americans. The United States must be weary of cultural differences between people in East Asia and themselves. A deeply rooted sense of honor and tradition will impact that theater of war far more than the conflicts happening throughout Europe. Just as our people were preparing to fight for their own homes, the Japanese will respond similarly to every trench and foxhole held in these tiny mounds in the Pacific Ocean. I wish the Yanks luck.

Cheers.
