Let’s go back to those fun times of The Soviet Union.

Their goal was to get to The English Channel. Interesting because the movie about Dunkirk is out.

That means going across Western Europe as fast as you can.

They didn’t have all this airborne stuff to drop troops and tanks into East Germany. Railroads are much better for moving on interior lines of communication.

It’s like all their equipment being amphibious. You don’t need amphibious equipment if you are on the defensive. You just drive over the bridges you hold.

But, if you’re attacking through Western Europe, well, there’s lots of rivers and they’ll probably blow the bridges, so the Soviets needed amphibious equipment to make it to the English Channel.

Turns out those old Soviets actually did want to rule the world.

They used 16,000 Soviet troops as extras in an epic Dino De Laurentis movie. They couldn’t even supply those.

In the Ukraine, not Western Europe with blown bridges and depots getting bombed.

I argued that very point in college in the 1970s.

Made very plain in the Communist Manifesto. To know Hitler's ambitions one only needed to read Mein Kampf. If you want to know what the end game for moslems is all you need to do is read the koran and hadiths.
