Well, look at it this way: treaties don't blink into existence completely understood by all parties as perfectly fair without any loopholes or unnecessary concessions.
- borism 16y agoOf course leaders have enormous powers. But it was never like comrade Stalin waves and everything stops.
- JoeAltmaier 16y agoHm, I guess I don't buy that at all. Stalin in particular.
- borism 16y agothen you have oversimplified view of the world and I don't. let's agree to disagree.
- JoeAltmaier 16y agoCute, get the last shot in, then pretend its reasonable to stop discussing. Books have been written about the "Stalin Personality Cult", his enormous personal power and his perfect control over all matters of state. And you dismiss this with a few cute remarks. For your remarkable claims, you will have to provide MUCH more evidence. Try this: google Stalin and start reading.
- borism 16y agowe can continue to debate if you insist, but judging by your other comments it may not be exactly pleasant experience. also let me caution you that probably unlike you I have actual experience living in Soviet Union (not under Stalin, fortunately) and getting to know the "evidence" first hand.
- JoeAltmaier 16y agoRight, under enlightened Soviet rule your education in history and politics is wide-ranging and complete. I believe that.
- dreyfiz 16y agoYou would be surprised. People who grew up under Soviet education are a lot more cultured and worldly than Americans. Hint: if your worldview is a cartoon, it's probably inadequate to reality.
