Normandy

It's so bizarre to me how these people had no idea what was going to come from that stupid thing in the street.

i was watching one where it was like it was like you're a you're a soldier in during d-day like on the boat like right before they they hit like normandy right before the boat docked and like it just takes you from like a couple minutes before the boat and then when it like immediately as soon as it like the things open they get off it's just bullet like just like everyone's just dying like everyone i'm like that is mad like that's insane

You ever see Saving Private Ryan?

Yeah.

Whereabouts is it? Where is Honfleur and how do you get there?

It's about 110 miles by canal from Paris along the Seine to Normandy.

So you're heading towards Normandy, like towards the coastline there.

And we did it by river canal boat, which was amazing because you get to spend two nights in Paris on the river boat right in downtown Paris.

And much better than a hotel.

There is no need to tell thee what happened next, William.

My message to thee in Normandy, telling of the wondrous news, was sent post-haste.

Your reply to my message, thy blessing, William, arrived by herald on the morning we were to be wed.

This marriage is not according to

It's so funny because when we went to Paris, it wasn't real French speakers.

We went to Normandy.

We took a tour bus to Normandy, and we stopped at a gas station in real French countryside, and they're talking.

It was like...

They had the most gorgeous accents.

The tactical regression is absolute.

Maxim Kalashnikov, whom we covered here intensely, recently sat on his broadcast and pointed out that in 1944, the Allied Air Forces executed a transport plan that systematically obliterated 17 rail junctions in France, effectively isolating Normandy and cutting German transport down to 20% in three months.

Eighty-two years later, the Russian military is looking at the Slovyansk-Kramatorsk Theater, a sector one-tenth the size of Normandy, and they literally cannot isolate it.

They don't have the logistics, they don't have the coordination, and their command structure is so rigid it has paralyzed them.

The Russian management culture has fallen so far that they cannot replicate an 82-year-old military operation.

up.

Or Normandy now.

I mean, taking like, I think it's like 10 hours to get from Cherbourg.

To Portsmouth last

You got drafted.

You know what I mean? My grandfather fought in World War II, dropped into Normandy.

He was the 82nd Airborne.

And I'm over here doing lip sync TikToks.

The creation of railroads, all of our infrastructure, the parliament buildings, uh, all the things we've done internationally in terms of being key players in world wars.

We were, we were, listen, we were at Normandy.

We had the fourth largest Navy in the world at the end of World War II.

Juno Beach was our beach.
