Walter Bedell Smith: My three Years in Moscow (1950) (09/05/22 12:27:27)
I take from his book that the stalinist strategy for Russian safety almost to the letter is the same as the putinist way. So what we are seeing, is a copycat war: a script kiddy orders attacks, but he fortunately does not know what it takes - of knowledge, efforts and money - to succeed. Today's cheap parade on victory day may be taken to indicate that he has no planes and helicopters to spare from the theatre of war (and the repair workshops). When will he be ousted? |
