DBWI Stalin as Soviet leader

A Georgian ruling in Moskow?
That's a thought about as pathetic as a US President from Texas!

You would have to find a way for the Democrats or the Republicans to join forces to overcome the billions that Wall Street hands over to the American Party every election cycle to keep it in power over the last seventy years. It would have helped if the Democrats hadn't become socialists and the Republicans hadn't become so libertarian...they weren't that far apart in the 1940's and 1950's as they are today.

I can't vote in this election, since I don't turn 21 until next year, but if I could I would probably vote for the Republicans, even if all of them are incredibly boring speakers. Tax rebates and other such goodies from President Corporate Greed I Mean Michael Barr can't get me to vote for the Americans, though I'm sure enough of my countrymen will march into the voting booths to give them the victory. I miss the Electoral College. :(
 
Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili may have also done more to reform the corrupt nature of the Red Army. Consider that despite the call for brotherhood and equity, consider that many generals and command officers were little more than extortion artists in uniform. Apparently as early as 1934, Genrikh Yagoda and Nikolai Yezhov were calling for massive reforms against the corruption that permeated the military forces. By 1953, General Mikhail Tukhachevsky was openly worried that as many as 70% of the military staff could be under the employ of foreign intelligence agencies....

Hmm, good point, but if there had been less corruption, that might have actually slowed reforms towards democracy. Consider that it was one of the main reasons that the people simply decided that they had had enough.

But another reason for that the Soviet efforts at expansionism collapsed was because of their insistence on the establishment of a "State of Zion" under Ber Borochov, Lazar Kaganovich and Dmitri Volkogonov, as early as 1928. This alone helped to unite the French, German, British, and eventually the American forces in opposition to Soviet attempts to establish a Jewish state in the area of the Palestinian Confederation. If there was ever a reason to believe the Protcols of the Elders of Zion, this would have certainly been it!!!

Well, the Protocols have been shown to be a forgery, so that's neither here nor there. But I agree, the Soviet decision to support Zionism was stupidity on all sides. If you read the ideas the Zionists actually espoused, they had very little to do with Soviet Communism even at their most radical. Had the British kept to their obligation under the Balfour Declaration and allowed the Jewish settlers in, Eretz Israeil would have turned into a peaceful, multiethnic society, technologically advanced and harmonious. Instead, you had Communist terror campaigns, brutal repression and a generation of Arabs who thought their only choices were knuckling under to the Communist secularists and bow to their enemies, or follow their colonial masters and at least be spared that humiliation. Most of today's Mideast problems go back directly to that unfortunate era.

Not to mention European anti-Semitism. Can you imagine how the status of Jews could be different without the Zionist-Soviet alliance? The whole continent (and America, though to be fair it is much better over there now) could look like France with itsa Judaisme Nationale. Have you read about German 'Reformjudenthum', frex? All gone, today, of course, no Jew will willingly call himself German for generations to come. What a screaming pity.
