  1.  @streamlinedengine  imagine how much worse it could have been if Stalin hadn't died? People blame Khrushev for Cuban Crisis, but that man consolidated all the available resources to get USSR a retaliation capability and THEN used said technological potential not for war, but to create majority of positive political and reputation reserve USSR enjoyed through its existence with space program and his visits to USA. Meanwhile post-WWII era under Stalin was nonstop provocations of one proxy war after another. And while USSR did support NVA, it had neither provoked the conflict, nor take part in it directly, nor undermined everyone and planned to conquer the region like PRC. If the world was unlucky enough to have a doctor with very low morals around that door in 1953, whole of Asia(and likely a lot of Africa and South America) would have been divided and drowned in blood like Korea:( Но нет же, ..ять, Хрущев у них "кукурузник", а Сталин святой. Выблядки авторитарные:( P.S.: ignore the part in russian, just my rage towards Stalin fanboys and authoritarian fetishists.
