    That’s right. What the US is doing is pretty much just cosplaying Nazi Germany. The Nazis weren’t evil geniuses, they were pretty stupid and disorganised (a hallmark of every fascist regime is everlasting internal rivalry for more influence) and put their idiotic little ideology and personality cult above all else (for example, deportation trains to the death camps had precedence over much needed military logistics, even very late into WW2, also Nazi big wigs regularly engaged in disastrous micromanagement because they could, like when Hitler personally put new fighter aircraft development on hold because he wanted bombers, at a time when regular Allied air raids on Germany were already a reality), inevitably leading to picking a fight with pretty much the entire rest of the world and predictably losing that. The only thing the Nazis were clever (enough) with was propaganda. Propaganda that lasts till today by painting them as the ruthlessly efficient and technologically advanced evil masterminds. (with only the “ruthless” and “evil” being true) See any similarities already?
