Really? The Red Army had 5 times as many men under arms than we did. Their T34 tanks were vastly superior to our Shermans. The American people wouldn’t have tolerated it at the time.
After the evil Stalin purged the Red Army it put up such a horrible performance in the Russo-Finnish War that Hitler decided that he could attack Russia and win. Stalin set up his own near demise. Unfortunately most of the world had to suffer as a consequence.
Sadly 20 Million weren’t polled /s
The same Josef Stalin who locked himself away in his room and hid under his sofa (he always slept on a divan) during the first week following the Nazi invasion in 1941? Hmmmm, some great leader.
According to Solzhenitsyn, the very people who he sentenced to the Gulag “loved” him and stuck up for him.
Crazy. It is no wonder that one cannot think of Stalin when reading Orwell’s “1984”. In the end for them, they only have love for “Big Brother”.
I spent part of an evening talking to a woman from the Ukraine, I’m assuming of Russian extraction, and she too stated she would like to see Stalin back because he was such a strong figure.

Not crazy! After the Iranian Revolution the Iranians were immediately at war with Iraq, US influence -probably, whatever. Beside the point, it was good for the Iranians, the Iranians immediately marched the revolutionary zeolots to the front line, had them clear the mine fields on foot.
No more revelation, no more disgruntle revolutionaries...time for Imams to feather our nest!
Feed the revolutionaries to the guns!
YEAH, Stalin Asisted German aggression (think Poland) before he Resisted German aggression.
Yes, add the Katyn massacre to how Stalin helped.
Even we bloodthirsty Germans were apalled by the savage killing field of Katyn!
He should know.
“bloodthirsty Germans”
Nothing anything I said. I know a member of the Hitler youth, he’s very old and a wealth spring of information, he’s writing a memoir. I have no animus. If there’s no denial.
More than a million people?
More like over 16 million disappeared without a trace.
You rotten liar. What makes you think you can get away with saying something like that? Have you gotten Maxine Water Brain all of a sudden? You just attacked me for absolutely no reason. Why would you do so, you evil, vile demon.

Begging your pardon, sir but I think you might be mistaken.
It’s just a conversation-starter.
