Joseph Stalin quote before his madness started..

[Bouncer]

In 1907 Joseph Stalin said at the funeral of his first wife, "This creature softened my heart of stone. She died and with her died my last warm feelings for humanity."

Powerful shit IMO considerding he would go on to kill far more people than hitler could ever dream of.

The guy was Iconic

As time passes I'm growing more and more respectful of Russia.

Not saying I like their way of life but internationally they have allways been a powerhouse and lately I have to say, Putin comes across as a very shrewd man indeef.

The new BRICS alliance will be a force to be reckoned with economically and one that is unreliant on Europe or the USA.

This clearly scares the west

I feel the same about hitler, the nazi's and Germany in general. I'm not saying I "like" the horrible things they did. BUT the way in which they did things has to be respected. The precision, competence, and methodical way of doing things is and was a very high standard that few can match.

mr.i, i posted a documentary on putin in the free documentary thread. it's a pretty good glimpse into the man himself.
