I don't think Mr. Adams has been this obviously wrong about anything, ever...

35:17 ...give me a
35:24 history lesson has Russia ever shown interest in conquering any country that wasn't
35:31 really either Russians speaking or had some you know obvious uh strategic
35:38 value they're not good guys so I'm not saying Russia is the good guys don't get me wrong but do you think Russia has
35:46 ever wanted to conquer France if they ever wanted to conquer
35:52 the UK or at least let's say in the last 100 years I don't think so...

Present-day Russia [is not equal to] Soviet Russia in the same way as Prez47 [is not equal to] Prez46.

skeptics.stackexchange.com: Did Gen. Patton say "We defeated the wrong enemy?"

According to the 1987 book Cannon fodder: growing up for Vietnam the exact quote is:

We may have been fighting the wrong enemy (Germany) all along. But while we're here (on the Soviet border), we should go after the *******s now, 'cause we're gonna have to fight 'em eventually....

Another related exact quote is:

the Germans are the only decent people left in Europe. It's a choice between them and the Russians. I prefer the Germans.

Patton died in a hospital after a slow-speed auto accident. Nothing suspicious here. www.warhistoryonline.com: The Open Question Of George Patton’s Last Days

I really wish he'd provide a citation for propellantless space propulsion. Dr. Buhler in 2024-04?
