It was from watching CNN that Arafat got the idea for airline hijacking for terror purposes There were hijackings in the 1970s, and probably earlier, much before CNN was founded.
However, one error that I see:
...Nazi Generals Keitel and Jodl testified that Hitler’s regime could surely have been toppled had the English and the French moved quickly to invade Germany after they declared war on September 3, 1939. Attacking Poland, the Germans had few divisions defending their western borders.
Invaded with what? Great Britain and France had no forces with which to invade Germany, and no amphibious assault shipping with which to deliver them. After WWI, large standing armies were eliminated, and raising them would have been difficult in a world depressed economic climate. Only after the threat from Germany appeared existential did Great Britain decide they had to rearm.
Additionally, the Germans had developed their doctrine of Blitzkreig during the Spanish civil war. Everyone else was way behind integrating mechanized infantry, armor, artillery and close air support. In 1939, no other country in the world, except Germany, knew how to do this. There were small scale experiments in the U.S., some interest in GB, and France, and some professional doctrine development in the Soviet Union, but those generals were purged by Stalin.
Bottom line: Great Britain and France did not have the forces, doctrine, or equipment to successfully invade Germany in 1939 and all professional armies in the world knew this fact.
” The centrifuges, of course, are the critical component of a nuclear reactor, that unmistakable step in building nuclear weapons.”
NO.
Centrifuges are for enriching uranium for a bomb. Nuclear reactors can burn enriched fuel, but the centrifuge is not an integral part of a reactor. I see lotss of weirdness from townhall. Are these guys amateurs?
The lesson of Masada is clear; it is better to die as free men than to live as slaves.
Or, in this modern instance, to die as slaves.

Believe me, Prime Minister Netanyahu knows EXACTLY what Iran is up to.
