2. That Stalin fella looks like a good guy

Compared to that psycho T****.

As bad as Stalin was, T**** has a much larger pool of people to hurt. He has the potential to lead in Crimes against Humanity.

3. Lot there to look down to.

If you haven't read it, you might want to check out "The Gulag Archipelago" by Alexander Solzhenitsyn. The author, at the time a Red Army artillery captain, wrote the history from memory. He was imprisoned in frozen Siberia for 10 years, merely for pointing out "the man with the moustache" in a letter to his brother.


"Unlimited power in the hands of limited people always leads to cruelty. If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being." -- Solzhenitsyn

Stalin may have killed 25 million of his own people. Another 25 million died fighting Hitler. Trump's killed millions of Americans through his incompetence during the COVID epidemic. He wants to get his mitts on the nukes. We must each remember that we each make the choice.

4. I agree. By no means am I excusing Stalin.

I am only making the point that T**** has a much larger pool of potential victims once you add up Democrats, immigrants, intellectuals, non-whites, seniors, the disabled, non-Christians, LGBTQ, and anyone else whom he doesn't care about. We are talking hundreds of millions if he goes too far.

Would anyone try to stop him if it went down that path?
