Oh man this is going t get good.
GRAB THE POPCORN!
Grab the popcorn? I’m sure the Germans and Russians were grabbing popcorn when Hilter brought the Wehrmacht to heel with overblown or trumped up sex-scandals involving Generals Fritsch and Blomberg. The Russians were not allowed popcorn, only the secret summary troikas before Marshal Tukachevsky was shot.
Nothing good can come from a purge of the military leadership in totalitarian states. It’s not what I would consider an occasion for popcorn.
