Agreed.
I studied the Mongolian skirmishes of 1939 pretty well in college.and at CIA.
Was mainly interested in the bios of Vasili Blyukher and Grigory Shtern, old Bolshevik warriors dead in the purges, Shtern served well in Spain.
I believe Zhukov was influenced by them.
The Russ mil purges haunt me.
Tukhachevsky's role in the book ARMED INSURRECTION fascinates.
The Red general staff in 1936 was a wonder.
Am convinced that only Joe's purges made the Holocaust happen.
Stalin's destruction of the Red officers was unique in history. No other ruler wiped out the nation's best mil talent in the face of so great a threat.
Zhukov was Trotsky's revenge.
Still, Clio's a mean cunt... a term i use only for her. Trotsky noted that had a revolutionary Soviet campaign in WEur succeeded, it would doubtless have led to war with us.
In which case...

I'da stood with Her:
Barry G: "you don’t need to be straight to fight and die for your country. You just need to shoot straight.”

I think that Joe believe his own bullshit. That seems to happen when you're under the spell of thinking that you're the smartest person in the room. I'll give Joe being the meanest sneaky bastard in the room. Backstabbing motherfucker. We may get to see some of the same here in the next few years, or something similar.
Straight really does matter when shooting, this is true.
