So you're saying the trains are going to run on time.
Got it.

Despite how common that saying is, trains in Italy were a shitshow under Mussolini

I dunno, the first time Hitler tried to do what Mussolini did, he ended up in prison. Mussolini was more competent but had to make do with an Italian army while Hitler was less competent but got farther because it was still a German army supported by German engineers and scientists.

I think Trump to Hitler is more accurate, especially when considering Putin for the Mussolini role. Ukraine would be Ethiopia (though with more support this time around instead of just league of nations hand wringing about the whole thing). Israel/Palestine would be Spain, except it's entirely one sided.

I hope Trump loses (election and coup/civil war) before we find out who gets to be Poland and France this time around. As a Canadian, I'm a bit nervous, about either that or being more like Austria. Though if we could be Czechoslovakia and just give them Alberta, I could live with that (other than seeing that BC would likely also be annexed).

Please no, it's already bad enough here under Smith, I don't want Trump in charge

Yeah, even Texas has some decent people. And tbh, Canada could end up being more like Hungary or Austria because there's a large conservative presence here, too.
