St. Petersburg was Stalingrad during WW II. I don't condone cannibilism but history is valid in what actually happened. My main point was that predicting what people will do to survive is fairly certain. Too many examples have been happened to think otherwise.

No donut for you.

In my readings of history, starvation is the rule, cannibalism is the exception, and you've got Vladimir Illyichopolis and Joseph Vissarionovichopolis confused.

St. Petersburg was Stalingrad during WW II.

St. Petersburg was Leningrad during WW II.

I hope the US is ready to fight the same kind of war against our new enemies - they are at least as cruel as the Japanese were, and just as convinced of their own inherent superiority.

St. Petersburg was Stalingrad during WW II.

Leningrad, not Stalingrad. Stalingrad was about 1000 miles southeast, and was captured by the Germans (partially), not besieged.
