On July 1, 1964, seven years and six months after it was started, “Project Pluto” was canceled.

Interesting ; that’s the same year Project Orion was also cancelled. One ended a substantial military lead, and the other manned space travel of any significance - the Moon was nice try, but the Project’s motto was “Mars by 1965 and Saturn by 1970”.

We considered a similar system in the early days of the Cold War. It was called Pluto, and was, like Sky fall, a cruise missile propelled by an u shielded nuclear reactor. It was a weapon only Doctor Strangelove could love.

Sure. But the Russians did initially ally with the Germans, so, not much sympathy deserved.

As far as this recent project, they’ll be lucky not to radiate Russia...again.

I thought it was a good write-out for M.

I still like the franchise if they don’t dyke it up.

Perhaps, not agreeing to ally with Nazi Germany and divide up Poland, could have changed things.

Also, Stalin wiped out 70 percent of his professional officer corps.

Nothing caviler at all, but it’s on them.

Soviets were cheering the Nazis when they invaded France and bombed Britain.

Not true. Approx. 8 mlns of military deaths including those 4 mlns whose Nazis starved in their camps. Others are civilian deaths in the Nazi occupation.
And consider that with Germans the whole EU came to Soviet Union. So in Russia it is considered as the first war with Hitler Eurounion.

Same Britain and France just year before it in 1938 gave Hitler the whole country Czechoslovakia. And Poland allied with Hitler to occupy Teshin region.
So seeing this Stalin didn’t trust Britain-France until they will define themselves by action.

I long ago lost the actual sources from Sokolov. But he is considered the prime authority on such matters.

You are using the old Soviet number, which is false and propaganda to please Stalin.

Found it. See Here:
Myths and Legends of the Eastern Front: Reassessing the Great Patriotic War Hardcover – November 13, 2019
by Boris Sokolov (Author), Richard W Harrison (Translator)
https://www.amazon.com/Myths-Legends-Eastern-Front-Reassessing/dp/1526742268

“Soviet military losses (dead) in WW II were around 22 to 27 million (pages 290 and 297), not the 8.8 million that the Soviet Union eventually acknowledged ... Soviet field commanders routinely and deliberately under-reported their losses to the Soviet High by factors of two to three in order to look better.”

No this Sokolov isn’t no authority on this matter. It is a member of Memorial the pro-western on-payroll NGO. Now official the foreign agent.
The real source is the main archive of the Ministry of Defense. According them there were about 8 mils of military death including POWs taken at 1 year of war who were starved by hitlerites(about 4 mils). And notice how they europeans were ruthless toward russians. We remember that.

Your real source consists of lies told to Stalin to keep from being shot.
