I dont think we can take anymore victories like this !
True, but never underestimate the impact of propaganda:

Quote:
From a speech by Joseph Goebbels, delivered in
Nuernberg in 1934:

Each situation brings new challenges. And each task requires the
support of the people, which can only be gained by untiring propaganda
that brings the broad masses knowledge and clarity. No area of public
life can do without it. It is the never resting force behind public
opinion. It must maintain an unbroken relationship between leadership
and people. Every means of technology must be put in its service; the
goal is to form the mass will and to give it meaning, purpose and
goals that will enable us to learn from past failures and mistakes and
ensure that the lead National Socialist strength has given us over
other nations will never again be lost.
Just replace "National Socialist" with some other term and you have a formula for "victory."

Political language ... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.
