Nobody went to war in 1914 planning for what was an entirely random result. Thousands of random factors went into every stage of that extremely complex process. Even the end stage of the Bolshevik takeover hung on a long string of decision points that could have gone another way. Like if an assassins bullet had hit Lenin an inch to the left. One of many assassination attempts btw.

I think you need more information on history. More background in history. It has a bad habit of turning on what amounts to a coin flip. In re the Russian revolution I recommend Orlando Figes, “A Peoples Tragedy”.

You can believe that if you want.
I choose not to.

You’re going to see the US go socialist, if the Ukraine war becomes WWIII.

I will then take my apology in small bills.
