Stalin was cheap. He would use pistol and rifle rounds.
As if it matters ...
Stalin valued loyalty. Kim wants it but doesn’t know to keep people from plotting to overthrow him.
You wonder what his generals and security chiefs must be thinking when a misstep can lead to their immediate execution.
Loyalty wasn't enough. The worst crime you could commit in Stalin's Soviet Union was to become more popular than Stalin. Stalin was also very suspicious of anyone from Leningrad. He had most of the "Heroes of Leningrad" wiped out after the war. He probably wished Hitler would have wiped out the city for him.
Grandbaby Kim is one of the few people in the history who makes Stalin look calm and forgiving by comparison.
“How do these generals and military personnel sleep at night?”
Their other choice is to not eat or not keep their head
I got to my unit around 6 months after the Gulf War, and most of the guys from that war were still around. They were in a sort of running battle, as they headed from west to east, after the Battle of 73 Easting. All night long they drove through defensive positions and assembly areas, engaging the enemy....called it ‘Fright Night’.
The part that didn’t really make the news - my gunner described clear evidence in their tracks that they had unknowingly driven over Iraqi soldiers.
BTW, when I was in Korea, we had the 105mm...and there is a type of round for that which is essentially a pile of nails. I couldn’t imagine the damage that would do.
If I recall correctly, he executed one of his uncles with a mortar.
"The mortar the merrier!"
Is that hat made of Persian lamb?
That was the beehive round. We had them for 155s in Vietnam.
Well, it may not look like much, but it’s a start...
Oh come on Kim, this has already been done! How a ‘bout a little creativity!
Before being executed, the condemned Nork generals were ordered to remove their rank and all their military medals.
This took several days.
And then bill the victims's family for the cost of the bullet.
Those people don’t look very happy, do they.
“with anti-aircraft guns “
Boring.
Kimmy is losing his creatively.
Although that was a pretty good assassination of his brother.

Lil’ Kim is surely doing his absolute best to win the contest for history’s most frightful boss to be a first report to, the two current leaders being Henry VIII of England and Uncle Joe Stalin, the thus far reigning champ.
