"And then I saw there was a way to hell,
Even from the gates of heavan."
- John Bunyan
"The object of war is to die for your country making the other bastard die for his." - Zhukov
>Railing at the fat knight, he said, "Where can such a body be of service to the state, when everything between its gullet and its groins is devoted to belly?"
>To a tribune of the people who had been accused of using poison, and who was trying to force the passage of a useless bill, he said: "Young man, I know not which is worse, to drink your mixtures, or to enact your bills."
>And when he was reviled by a man who led a life of shameless debauchery, he said: "I fight an unequal battle with you: you listen to abuse calmly, and utter it glibly; while for me it is unpleasant to utter it, and unusual to hear it."
>The Romans once chose three ambassadors to Bithynia, of whom one was gouty, another had had his head trepanned, and the third was deemed a fool. Cato made merry over this, and said that the Romans were sending out an embassy which had neither feet, nor head, nor heart.
>Cato expelled another senator who was thought to have good prospects for the consulship, namely, Manilius, because he embraced his wife in open day before the eyes of his daughter. For his own part, he said, he never embraced his wife unless it thundered loudly; and it was a pleasantry of his to remark that he was a happy man when it thundered.
Has anyone archived the Zhukov thread from yesterday?
While Stalin and his wife were arguing about this, a shot was heard from Yakov's room. Yakov had shot himself but survived. While she tended to his wounds and sent for a doctor, all his father said was, "He can't even shoot straight".[3]

>The Germans later offered to exchange Yakov for Friedrich Paulus, the German Field Marshal captured by the Soviets after the Battle of Stalingrad, but Stalin turned the offer down, allegedly saying, "I will not trade a Marshal for a Lieutenant

People call this cold, but Stalin obviously considered this type of nepotism to be dangerous. It really is more of a comment on how the man held the well-being of his state over everything else in his life, including his children and his compassion. He was trying to do what is best, but his idea of what was best was so incomplete that the actions he ended up taking generally didn't have the effects he was hoping for and, even when they did, they didn't come without huge side-effects.
It's a damn shame really.

Im a fascist, even if either the movement and the party are dead today, but as you say, yes, i'm disgusted at how they treated him. Don't take me for a crazy fascist, i know that a lot of things Benito did weren't right things to do, but he loved Italy, and he deserved a normal process, even if they put a dead sentence on him. Leftist in my countries are degenerates above all levels, and i hope some day i can help to rebuilt that glorious nation that was Italy before wwII

>Deprived of his father’s affections and upset by a failed romance, Yakov once tried to shoot himself. As he lay bleeding, his father scathingly remarked, ‘He can’t even shoot straight’.

Love your children if and when you have them anon, and everything will be alright.

>Families of PoWs, or deserters, faced the harshest consequences for the failings of their sons or husbands – arrested and exiled. Yakov may have been Stalin’s son but his family were not to be spared. He was married to a Jewish girl, Julia. Stalin had managed to overcome his innate anti-Semitism and grew to be quite fond of his daughter-in-law. Nonetheless, following Yakov’s capture, Julia was arrested, separated from her three-year-old daughter and sent to the gulag. After two years, Stalin sanctioned her release but she remained forever traumatised by the experience.

How is the fact that a man makes no exception in the enforcement of his laws when it comes to people he knows a bad thing? Even if those laws are unjust, anything else would be hypocrisy.
>>1850330
Well he let her out early, so that is hypocrisy.

The problem my friend, is that he would have destroyed us if we didn't ally with him, beacause of our position in the mediterranean sea, we didn't stand a chance against him. And we were lucky that we go out of the war in this way, as "Liberated", instead of Losers (As we actually, and we will always be)
