Walmart+ takes aim at Amazon Prime, launches September 15:
Although it's arriving several months later than expected, Walmart's answer to Amazon Prime is finally scheduled to launch in two weeks, on September 15. Like Prime, Walmart+ offers unlimited free delivery, with some products available same-day in many markets.
Walmart+ looks cheaper than Amazon Prime at first blush—the annual prices for the services are $119 and $98, respectively—but the difference may be less relevant to each company's bottom line than it looks. Both services also offer a monthly plan, and there's effectively no cost difference there. When paid monthly, Prime and Plus are only four cents apart, at $12.99 and $12.95 per month, respectively.
Although Amazon is the incumbent in any online shopping competition, Walmart does have some advantages. Where Amazon needed to build massive distribution centers from the ground up, Walmart only needed to leverage small-scale deliveries from the distribution centers and stores it already has. Walmart can also offer some products that Amazon generally can't—you'll be able to shop online for local, fresh groceries with Walmart+, as well as get membership-based discounts on gasoline at many of Walmart's brick-and-mortar locations.
It is unknown whether Walmart will require online shoppers to wear masks.

No they didn't. How can you say that? Twenty years after we won WW2 Germany and Japan were at peace. Its a complete shit show over there right now.

what does reconstruction have to do with who won a military conflict, especially when destabilization on behalf of the goy masters and race traitor profiteers was the goal from the beginning.

You don't win the war if you have to keep fighting them and they represent a threat. We lost.

You're using a strange definition of victory. By your definition, almost no war in history has ever been won, because reconstruction has almost never been the aftermath. Usually, annihilation of the vanquished has followed. By your definition, the Allies did not win WWI because they did not reconstruct Germany afterward and prevent WWII; everyone else knows the Allies did win.
By everyone's definition, Revek's excepted, the US won the Gulf War decisively. Some estimate Iraq's casualties as high 35,000, and the Coalition's as little as 148. That's as lopsided as can be.
Washington DC delenda est.

To win a war you have to stop fighting it at some point.
