“Stalin purged his Army a couple of years before WWII started in Europe.”
Stalin got Zhukov, Konev, Rokossovsky and Tolbukhin. Our tranny brigades won’t compare to that.
So: the Sovs lost over 1/3 of their breeding age males and 1/10th of their females in the war and IMO never recovered.
On the other hand, as fierce as partisan activity in Russia was, one can only imagine the trouble if PRC starts something here (plus their supply line is longer, and wet).
It’s my guess that PRC and others would use the opportunity to forge a new hegemony around the world rather than confront us directly. What do you think?
