Stalin? STALIN??? Our young soldiers are going to be ordered by our Marxist-In-Chief to march in front of posters of STALIN in RED SQUARE? I think I'm going to be sick....
MOSCOW - Posters of Josef Stalin may be put up in Moscow for the first time in decades as part of the May 9 observance of Victory Day — the annual celebration of the defeat of Nazi Germany.
This year, the 65th anniversary of Germany's defeat, a contingent of U.S. troops is expected to march on Red Square, a striking sign of vaunted "reset" of American-Russian relations.
But Moscow city authorities may be preparing a less-welcome kind of reset with the posters, an honor denied since the Soviet dictator's crimes were publicly exposed more than half-a-century ago.
More here.
Excuse me. Our boys do not fight for this:
Under the dictatorship of Joseph Stalin, tens of millions of ordinary individuals were executed or imprisoned in labour camps that were little more than death camps. Perceived political orientation was the key variable in these mass atrocities. But gender played an important role, and in many respects the Purge period of Soviet history can be considered the worst gendercide of the twentieth century.
But it is probably too difficult to explain how offensive it is to a pResident who hangs a Mao Tse Tung ornament on the White House Christmas tree. To a pResident who flies the Red Chinese flag over the White House lawn. To a pResident who chooses avowed marxists as his advisors. No. I doubt he will understand.
