THE MARGIN OF VICTORY
Donald Trump went on to proclaim May 8 to be World War II Victory Day (he also redesignated November 11 as World War I Victory Day.)
The impetus for such a historically flawed statement is not stated by those who issued it but is apparent to all: Trump is jealous of the attention being given to Russia’s May 9 Victory Day celebration and is looking to create a competing event which would thrust the United States into the limelight.
One of the problems Trump will face in generating enthusiasm for his new May 8 holiday is that the American people have long forgotten about “The Greatest Generation” and the sacrifices they made for the United States and the world in defeating the dual threats of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. More than 16 million Americans served in the military during World War II, of whom just under 300,000 were killed in combat, with another 670,000 wounded.
I will never denigrate the service of anyone who served their nation honorably in the time of war.
Every American who wore the uniform during World War II deserves praise, as do the millions of Americans who helped turn the American industrial base into the arsenal of democracy.
Some 34 million Soviet men served in the Red Army during World War II. While the official death toll for the Red Army in World War II stands at some 8,600,000, he Central Military Archives in Moscow contains the names of more than 14 million Red Army soldiers who died or went missing during the fighting with Nazi Germany. Millions more were wounded in battle.
But this is only part of the story.
The fight against Nazi Germany took place on the soil of the Soviet Union—the dark earth of Russia, Ukraine, Belorussia, the Caucasus. Between 15.9–17.4 million civilians were killed on Soviet territory by Germany and its allies during the war.
These are unthinkable numbers.
And they are numbers no western nation, including the United States, could have sustained under similar conditions and prevailed.
Americans and Russians both speak about the importance of US military assistance—“Lend Lease”—on helping sustain the Red Army during the critical years of 1942-43.
But “Lend Lease” did not win the war.
The blood and sacrifice of the Red Army did.
As US President Franklin Roosevelt noted in 1942, “Russian troops have destroyed—and continue to destroy—more manpower, planes, tanks and cannons of our common enemy than all the other United Nations combined.”

“We won two World Wars—but we never too credit for it!”, Donald Trump, the 47th President of the United States, recently posted on his Truth Social account. “Everyone else does! All over the World, the Allies are celebrating the Victory we had in World War II. The only Country that doesn’t celebrate,” Trump wrote, “is the United States of America, and the Victory was only accomplished because of us. Without the United States,” Trump continued, “the War would have been won by other Countries, and what a different World it would be.”

US-IRAN TENSIONS: RISKS OF WAR, PROSPECTS FOR PEACE
Last month, US President Donald Trump and Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s respective positions regarding Iran’s nuclear enrichment program appeared irreconcilable.
Today, the prohibitive costs associated with any US-Iranian military conflict are so horrible that both leaders have embraced negotiations as the only viable path forward for their respective nations and for regional and global security.

SUBJECT: Arms Control: Toward Lasting Peace
The following Memorandum is presented as a brief review, based on experience, aiming to encourage well-informed discourse between the United States and Russia on the critical issue of arms control. The experience of the past half-century has taught us much. We suggest that arms control agreements between the U.S. and Russia need to be founded upon three basic principles: security, stability, and reciprocity.

WHO DEFEATED THE NAZIS? A COLLOQUY
In June 2019, Scott Ritter wrote an instructive review of key aspects of WWII, “What Russia Rightfully Remembers, America Forgets” Scott’s fellow Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) were asked to comment on his article and an informal colloquy emerged – primarily between Scott and Larry Wilkerson.
At the 80th anniversary of VE Day Friday, I have the dubious distinction of remembering that glorious day as a 5 year-old. I am grateful to be still around and happy to have the opportunity to offer below the fact-based views of younger esteemed colleagues, who have grappled long and hard with political-military issues of this kind – both as historians and as practitioners. I have slightly condensed their prose.

PUTIN'S PEACE TALKS PUSH FORCES ZELENSKY TO EITHER 'PUT UP OR SHUT UP'
President Putin has announced Russia's readiness for "direct talks" with Ukraine in Istanbul on May 15, "without preconditions" and aimed at eliminating "the root causes of the conflict."
Now Russia has the initiative and Russia has the moral high ground. There will be no more talk about 30-day artificial ceasefires. Ukraine either has to put up or shut up.

Israel has been spying on the United States for decades.
Jonathan Pollard did more damage to the national security of the United States than can even be admitted to this day.
Israelis have monitored the communications of US presidents and senior officials.
Israeli intelligence has infiltrated the pro-Israeli lobby, using it as a proxy to steal American secrets.
American presidential administrations have tolerated this insult out of fear about the political consequences of calling Israel out for its malfeasance.
Israel is the greatest single threat to the United States, a cancer that has disguised itself as part of the American body.
America should be grateful that we elected a narcissist like Donald Trump as president.
Because only someone with Trump’s ego could allow the outrage that comes with discovering the truth about Israel—that it is disdainful of America and Americans, that it uses us for its betterment, that it will gladly sacrifice America in pursuit of its Zionist goals and objectives—to get him to take the necessary action needed to save America from this insidious threat—the divorce of US national objectives from the ideological prison of Greater Israeli Zionism.
If Trump follows through on the direction he appears to be headed in, the world will be a better place.
America will be great again. And Israel will be no more.
A fitting end to the greatest threat that has ever confronted America.
