  1. Very funny. But also sadly true, and Stalin knew it. Churchill was a terrible grand strategists. February 1942 = Area Bombing campaign aimed at direct attacks on city centers, wasting away the financial resources of Empire. Between a third and half of the entire British war effort was directed at creating rubble in German cities, and contributed almost nothing to the overall effect of winning (of course, a simple reference to WW1 production figures would have revealed that it was the lack of raw materials which limited German industrial production). A year later, and the ridiculous "soft underbelly" strategy had Stalin in stitches. Obviously Stalin knew that only soldiers and tanks created facts. The reds would storm into Berlin (capturing rocket and jet technology, scientist, Sarin/Tabun plants, and hundreds of factories, resources, skilled workers for the Gulags, not to mention new 100 million commie slaves in Romania, Czechoslovakia, Poland, etc., etc., etc., etc.)... Stalin said "thank you so very much...so kind of you", and would use this technology to kill our soldiers in hundreds of proxy wars during the Cold War. Our heroes sold half the world to commie crook Stalin, and we spent 50 years after WW2 to fight him in the other half. Also very funny.
