By 1944, Russia had fully recovered from the German invasion and was a powerful military. That was not the case in 1942. When Hitler launched his 1942 summer offensive, he had to keep units in the west to repel any invasion of France by the Western allies.
At the town hall meeting, why didn't she say that local matters are not her responsibility and tell them who is? Why doesn't she ask Trump for help?
She wanted to defund the police. Why didn't she want to talk to the lady at the town hall when she was asked about crime in her district? Why doesn't she ask Trump for help?
Numbers alone don't count. During World War II, Germany could have conquered Russia if it didn't have to fight the powerful US in the west. That's the reason Putin might accept the plan. Without the US in Europe, Putin might think he can conquer Europe.
This is what the EU should propose to Putin. Russia will withdraw from all land it seized from Ukraine after the 2022 invasion. NATO would be dissolved and replaced with a European alliance. Ukraine and Canada would be permitted to join but not the US. If Putin doesn't accept the proposal, the UK and France would send troops to Ukraine.
From the article: Alvarez tried raising the issue with Ocasio-Cortez when she met her at a town hall in the Bronx last year, but got nowhere.
“I asked, ‘Are you aware of how horrible it’s gotten? When was the last time you were in Jackson Heights, Elmhurst?’ She ignored me and told me, ‘You can ask this person questions’ … who I guess was her assistant. She did a very silent exit through the back.
“I think it’s disrespectful. You’re there because of people from my community, and you’re not doing s–t for our community.”
Then what is your explanation for the considerable increase in crime in AOC's district?
According to the article she defunded the police. The result being less police.
Be specific. What's wrong with my proposal?
This is one of the reasons AOC would be a poor Democratic presidential candidate.
