"In Churchill's mind..." That's the problem right there.

The only way the Nazis or Japanese were going to win was if they had not fought at all.

Exactly. Prussia was army with a country attached; the UK is the DHSS with a country attached. The devil is in the details and I'm not a fan. Send it to the USSR where it won't have those problems. See the Finns and the Buffalo.

Democrat majority Congress, 267-167(H) and 65-29(S). Given that, what need is there to maintain a coalition?
