“Patton said “Russia” not “Soviet Union”. He was very clear.”
Considering that Russia wasn’t a country then, he was talking about something that didn’t exist...so his words were meaningless.
Patton also thought he fought in the Punic wars, and with Napoleon too. Believed in Antichristian reincarnation.
Some things he was very good, some things he was an idiot.
