  1.  @NEWYORKPATRIOT-cp2tx  Gorby actually pulled out because of finances. He couldn't afford that war.

  2. Every last Russian I met had emigrated from a big city, usually Moscow, itself. ( Illegal aliens, to boot ) Rancho Cordova, east of Sacramento has so many that it's commonly called little Moscow. Since most got into California via KGB connections, the local crime wave exploded... organized crime.

  3.  @saxegothaea_conspicua  Because both were prisons of nations. Because both were utterly dominated by Moscow. In an amazing way, Russia is a two-city state, to contrast with ancient Athens, Sparta. Like Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland everything that counts is what counts in the Big Cities. Every other 'citizen' are just draft souls. I write 'citizen' because outsiders just don't have anything like equal rights. It would be astonishing if such folks could even get into the Party, become somebody. Whether now or centuries ago, Russia is a polity of authoritarianism. There is only THE Party. This makes for a brittle polity -- but only at the Center -- Moscow. Only in the two-cities can a revolution erupt, which is why Putin won't conscript from those guys.

  4. @linnyschlamm3310 YT has butchered my response. Consider that.

  5. And to realize that by the time Lenin assumed power, he was in Fourth Stage Syphilis. Ultimately, he became a raving paranoid, typical of the end stage. Then he died. His attending physician was the ultimate expert on syphilis -- now you know why. As for Adolf, he was also dying from late stage Syphilis. He also chose as his personal physician Germany's highest expert on syphilis. That was their connection. Syphilis was the true reason why Adolf was being prescribed Arsenic. (!) By the late 30s Arsenic compounds had been determined to be the only effective medication for syphilis -- and ONLY prescribed for that specific disease. This cure became the central plot element in E. G. Robinson's film:Dr Ehrlich's Magic Bullet. Today's cancer cures are based on Ehrlich's logic of cure. ( Chemo-therapy ) The US Army recovered Adolf's heart records. They show, beyond any doubt, that Adolf had syphilis. The disease creates a weird distinctive murmur in its victims.

  6. Not quite. Egyptian religion maintained that a pharaohs BECAME gods upon death and ritual. In their afterlife they were to rise up into the heavens to maintain all life on Earth. Yes, THIS is what the walls tell us.

  8. In American pop culture, such 'informants' are universally known as FINKS. I had one assigned to me by my boss, a paranoid man of intrigue. The fink could never figure out why I had him pegged as a fink, so quickly. Well, the top-man blew his cover by following up, instantly, on any fink-detail that suited his alarm. After he was no longer a useful fink, the he was promptly fired. Strangely, he never saw it coming a mile away. He must have thought that his chit-chats with the big man meant that he was his buddy. He'd been 'laid off' twice before. Elvira, Putin has established a culture of finks -- up and down the line. Tyrants ALWAYS operate such systems, create organs of universal dread and fear. Adolf's top 'general' was a FINK. (Keitel) That was his sole role. He didn't perform ANY military function. In German he was referred to as Lakeitel -- Jackal -- but only when safe. He was properly hanged at Nuremburg, of course. Josef had Beria -- NKVD/KGB. He was tasked with finding 'traitors' 'wreckers' 'disloyals', etc. His position was perilous, all those prior had been murdered by Josef. At one point, Beria even faked his own death, just to see who reacted how. The naughty were murdered by his minions. What a twisted mind. At the first opportunity Zhukov murdered him, to universal applause.

  9. It's mostly every OTHER ethnic group. Moscow is not particular, though it does have its bias, even so. If your captured nation sits atop oil and gas, you are in Big Trouble.

  10. Update: Moscow has flatly rejected Trump's ceasefire proposal. Their counter-proposal is that Ukraine must unconditionally surrender -- in so many words. Why Zelenskyy made that scene in the Oval Office? There's NO excusing it. It was a photo-op -- NOT a renegotiating for the third time session. Someone as bright as VZ should've seen Putin's rejection a thousand miles off. Trump's upper ambit is to Keep Red China OUT. We spent Large in Iraq, Afghanistan -- and all benefits have gone to Red China. Sheesh!

  11. Elvira, you apparently have not read Eric Hoffer's THE TRUE BELIEVER. The folks you're describing are VERY well laid out in this tiny tome. It's a MUST READ. It is ranked up with Animal Farm, 1984 as top tier insight.

  12. Clerics and shamans brewed beer 15,000 years ago, at least. Some of their equipment was made of stone and has lasted all this time. (!) The debris from their operations still litters the mountainside. Drugs and alcohol WERE their religion 15,000 years ago.

  13. Gorky was the heart of Stalin's steel industry. It's on the Volga. Think of Pittsburgh, before the mills closed. After the USSR fell, it went back to its Tsarist name: Nizhny Novgorod. ( Maxim Gorky, the writer, a big time proponent of 'Socialism' -- think Communism.) ( Hence, such films as "Gorky Park" -- a location inside Moscow.) ( It was one of the Soviet names so easy for Americans to pronounce.) At one point, General Halder planned on reaching it in 1941, Look at the map. He must have been on drugs! His plan was to totally encircle Moscow. As IF!

  14. It's the LONG nights. You must note the insane drinking in Iceland, Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales, and the Nordics. The British practically invented distilled alcohol, so long ago. Every other culture promptly picked up on it. The "Steam Tables" were established precisely to enhance gin distillation. This led to the Steam Revolution. Yup. Whereas the Germans had their beers, the Italians, French, Spanish, their wines. You got sloppy, not sick... until tomorrow. The other reason -- water quality. The Pilgrims, 1620, sailed the Atlantic DRUNK, crew and passengers. The primary reason for the catastrophe of landing: the voyage was so long that they had ran out of alcohol. They were so deep into alcoholism that going clean, often killed them, all by itself. The Pilgrims were drunks -- like most adults in 1619 -- because Europe's water quality was rotten. No-one dared drink Rhine water! This also explains why everyone was waiting on others to provide food. Everyone was either wasted or gasping in agony. But, the Charles river was near to hand. Some made it. Think about it. The guys are drinking STRAIGHT vodka because they regard water as toxic. (!) In most locations, it tastes badly, even if it's potable. So too, their wives.

  15. Kool it with the Kremlin propaganda.
