At least (as we found out) the Soviet Union was
sane and rational.

           How many millions did Stalin starve to death?

How many millions did Stalin starve to death?

About 10 million is the upper figure for the Ukraine alone. But he did it in a sane and rational manner.

(the USSR was an Evil Empire, it's leadership was responsible for the murders of millions of people and for forcing others to live in slavery/terror. It was an abomination. But its leadership was sane and rational, unlike Kim Il-Sung/Kim Jong-Il. And if NK was as big as the USSR, Kim Il-Sung/Kim Jong-Il would easily surpass Stalin as a criminal. I'm not saying the USSR's nukes were not a threat, they were probably a bigger threat than what NK has now, just because there were so many more of them....)
