WASHINGTON, May 18 (Reuters) - Several top White House aides say they are confident protests across U.S. college campuses against Israel’s offensive in Gaza will not translate into significantly fewer votes for Joe Biden in November’s election, despite polls showing many Democrats are deeply unhappy about the president’s policy on the war.
The White House optimism on the issue, which is shared by many in the Biden campaign, runs contrary to dire warnings from some Democratic strategists and youth organizers who warn misjudging the situation could cost Biden votes in a tight race with Republican rival Donald Trump.
So, you don’t know the difference between “1930” and “1970.”
You don’t know who was fighting in the Vietnam War.
Maybe, just maybe, instead of looking up the dates of old TV shows, you should read some actual history and basic math books?

I am substituting the Nazis for the Soviets as an example.
In 1970 the argument was that if America pulled out of Vietnam the commies would take over the world.
For every time 1930 is used as an excuse to promote war, a lot of pointless wars have been lost without dr. Evil taking over the world.
That’s like saying because Jack the Ripper stabbed people no surgery should ever be allowed.
There were plenty of people who were against America getting into WW1 who turned around years later and pushed for war in 1930.
No, that’s an entirely different episode of Star Trek.

When they started making '2001:A Space Odyssey" they planned on making the Mysterious Object a glowing diamond, as in the original short story.
They couldn’t make the diamond work, so they put black tape over the diamond in all the story boards. The tape was a placeholder for the time when they figured out what would be a really good Mysteriosu Object.
One day, someone looked at the storyboard and said that maybe they should just just the black slab.
Years pass, and all the viewers come up with theory after theory about what the Monolith is supposed to be. A book? A tombstone? A doorway?
One day, a young fan comes to Arthur Clarke and tells Clarke that he knows the secret. The ratio of the rectangle is 1 : 4 : 9, the squares of the first three numbers. Clarke loves it and puts it in the next book in the series.
The point of the story is that I could have pretended that I made that commnet without thinking about the Jack The Ripper episode. I didn’t and so I pass on the coveted No Prize.
