 It's easy to fail, it's hard to succeed. Without allies, you will fail. Adolf Hitler and the German army was a powerful army, but if you ever looked at a map, Germany was this big. The U.S. had all the U.S., had the U.K., had France, had all of Russia, had most of South America, had most of Northern Europe. Germany had two little allies. Who do you think won World War II? Whoever has the most allies? The best generals in the tank was Rommel, but Rommel couldn't beat the United States in England because they had too many allies. You're the general of your life.
