  1. The problem with peacetime armies is they have no conception of war outside the last one they fought.

  2. They equated party membership with national loyalties, but it was mainly a method of career advancement

  3. That was the pattern with most wars in the USSR. It ended the instant everyone figured out who was fighting who.

  4. The Soviets were on a peacetime footing at the time and had no conception of conflict outside the world wars. This was just an early tastes of the conflicts that would come decades later

  8. This wasn't exactly the Soviets at their best. They had no conception of war outside the world wars and the idea of insider threat was just bizarre. Also, while we like to pretend otherwise, this was peacetime in the USSR

  13.  @StArShIpEnTeRpRiSe  Silly dare, since that is easily googleable information that will inevitably turn out wrong for you even if on a technicality. Quit being rhetorical, you're no good at it

  18. @StArShIpEnTeRpRiSe  come on. We both know if you actually cared to know you would have googled "Russian naval battle list" and immediately saw Sungari and realized how much of an arrogant idiot you're acting like. Now shut up before your mother beats some sense into your skull.
