".......Prototypes of Trump’s border wall thwarted US commandos in tests"

[Elessar]

I know Einstein's gone ... again ... but the Great Wall of China was built to keep the Mongols out, not to keep people in. It failed regardless. The Mongols just went around it same as Hitler just went around Maginot Line.

However, he got the intent of it wrong. *bzzzzt*XXX

Patton said it best in the ERA of mechanized warfare: "Fixed fortifications are a monument to man's stupidty".

I don't know what kind of trip you fellows are on, but you should sell it on Expedia, you'd make a fortune.

The point I was making with my first post was to compare Trump's Wall to that of an overreaching government, Nazi Germany. The Nazis did nothing at all to protect the 'German Folk'. What they were doing was building big government infrastructure and military, that a well connected elite (oligarchs) then benefited from most, since all those things were billed by the oligarchy to the German taxpayer and paid via the German Treasury. That's what Fascism does. The German War Machine was then used to invade countries and steal their wealth in order to pay for that infrastructure. The United States is doing the same today, we've become a Fascist Oligarch.

Another member responded about The Berlin Wall, but that was build by Bolsheviks not Nazis. That's what my previous post addressed. But if this thread isn't interested in debating the issue of Trump's Wall, then I won't comment any further, provided my comments here are left unmolested.

I'm seeing the United States devolve into Nazi Germany right before my very eyes,
I've no power to stop the transition and can do nothing more than raise the point.

When Hitler gained power, Germany ceased to have a democracy. Hitler did away with it.

Trump, of course, has done no such thing. Rather ... he is a PRODUCT of democracy. Indeed, he represents something which you evidently oppose ... the Will of the People ...

Personally, I think the "commandos" (commandos are British), were told to not try to hard. No offense to Trump's wall prototypes, but a paltoon of Privates can f*ck up ANYTHING

I am convinced FUNKY is actually the re-incarnation of GRAVY. So, I will be polite and call that member....Funky WANKERbean.

(Wanker, literally "one who wanks (masturbates)", is a general insult. It is a pejorative term of English origin common in Britain and other parts of the English-speaking world (mainly commonwealth nations), including Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.)

Or....a MASTER WANKER who claims highly experienced talents in pretending.

Very high populations of wankers are to be found in certain areas of London including Shoreditch and Hoxton; see also Shoreditch twat. 2. Someone with a faintly sociopathic ...

Any questions? Our English (UK) member...Drummond probably knows many.

He was. He's banned again. Y'know, some people can't pull off not being themselves. Gravy/Funky is one such. He's banned again. It's why I "sorta" went back on topic.
