karl schmidt listened.nspiracy, he told himself. the world was against him and once again he was being taught to hate. once again he was looking for revenge. and revenge was possible, because the world allowed him to tear up the versailles treaty , clause by clause. instead of enforcing it, we americans refused to sign it and withdrew our army of occupation after only nine months. the british, even though germany was consistently violating it, pulled out after five years. the french made one final attempt to enforce the treaty. marched into the region, but this made them so unpopular in a world drenched with heartbreaking german propaganda that they withdrew solidly behind the imaginary line. now, let's see what would have happened had the treaty been enforced. without a general staff, germany could not have planned world war ii. from a demilitarized rhineland, she could not have attacked france or the low country. , she couldairport not inflict. with an army of 100,000, she could not have attacked the sovi

karl schmidt would go back to the old tradition.ilitarism and war. but wasn't the versailles treaty designed to prevent carl schmitt starting another war even if he wanted to? by this treaty the germans began to disband their staff to limit , their army to 100,000 men, to hand over their fleet, to de-militarize the rhineland and coastal fortification. they bound themselves never again to build an airport, or submarine, and to force a treaty. the cologne sector for five years, another for 10, another for 15. further there was the league of nations designed to prevent germany or any other country from starting a war of aggression. yet only 20 years later, the the karl schmidts of our generation were on their way for smashing the world into submission. ♪ how was karl schmidt unable to rearm -- able to rearm so quickly? like every country after the war germany faced hard times. , but in germany, careful manipulation made its results much worse for the millions of karl schmidts. inflation made clever people rich and canceled the huge deb

karl: well, that's a third one.d one is she's sitting there as national security adviser when hunter biden goes on the board of barisma and she's the person in all likelihood went to joe biden or did she go to joe biden, we really don't know, did she go to joe biden and says you're in charge of coordinating with the ukrainians on anticorruption efforts and don't you think that's a problem because your son is on the board of a corrupt company. i know she's been asked the questions and refuses to answer. she will not be able to refuse that if she becomes the nominee but -- but look, here is the deal, there are lots of problems with each and every one of these people. some of them are problems inside the democratic party val demings police chief who took hard line on crime. karen bass, likes to work with republicans occasionally, but the bigger problems are going to be those problems that are there with the 11 or 13% to have electorate that's up for grabs in the election because this would say volumes about the first p
