>Warns Stalin prior to the invasion of Finland that the Red Army is in a terrible condition >Always warns Stalin that Hitler is planning to invade the USSR>Stalin ignores him and has him fired, then arrested, then shotMoral of the story: Don't be good at your job in Stalinist Russia
>>18766801Stalin ignored so many people on so many different matters, the whole Barbarossa thing is jarring to say the least
>>18766813I find the long term damage Barbarossa did to the USSR, even with the final Soviet victory, obliterates Stalin’s legacy. The MR Pact blew up in his face in the worst possible way.
>>18767141He breached the MR pact with gobbling up Lithuania and North Bukovina, de facto and de jure.
Stalins only goal was to exterminate as many white people as possible. For all intents and purposes Judeo Bolshevism succeeded in its mission. Russia today is on a path to demographic extinction

>>18766801The bolsheviks (socialists, communists) were the operatives/agents of the junkers, nobility and by extension royalty. Bolsheviks couldn't reach ruzzia without explicit & covert approval the “German” uradel/hochadel (add the “Austrian” one as well), the “Danish” crown & nobility, the “Swedish” crown & nobility, and the “British” crown & nobility/garterists. All that play pretend pseudoanimosity between monarchism (feudalism) & socialism, communism? They all share the same red. Nowadays, they're democratic and into the red-green alliance with the feudalists that want a caliphate.After the bloody dust settled in the early 1920s, you immediately observe happenstance collaboration (primarily) with Germany – WWI dethroned the crowns but the nobilities were still there (cue Foch's quote “this is a 20 year armistice”). The junkers were preoccupied to start a round two war to return back their old world order and they relied on their eastern ciphers for all the material needs & military tests.Fast-forward to 1941. The bolsheviks aren't concerned because of several reasons: 1) Stalin & his general staff read Hitler's book (wasn't the sole author) at least since 1929/1930, and he knew Hitler had the compromise made with the junkers to fight France (primarily). With England, they were split on the compromise between fighting them or entering into an alliance (if the junkers got their way with the dethroned royals). 2) They prepared for war since then: the rapid industrialization, the purges/“purification” of the armed forces, the militarization of society via paramilitary structuring of society & “recreational” activities (eg. Osoaviakhim), the 2-year mobilisation order (September 1 - 1939/1942), the limited wars (Khalkhin Gol, Finnish war, Spanish civil war...).
>>18766801>>187690443) Hedging & leveraging dependence. After the snatched territories & the failed negotiations in 1940, the trap was set: Scandinavia was open, the Balkans were open (the Yugoslav coup was a pro-Soviet endeavor, meant to stall & overstretch), and the German war machine was dependent on Soviet resources. Stalin ignored the warnings of war because, yeah, in his mind & reality on the ground, he could choose when to start the war himself. That was the gist.Moreover, the most ardent opposition to Hitler fighting the soviets/ruzzians were no other than the junker officers & generals themselves. Isn't that a quaint coincidence and why the peerages & crown in England never had any genuine issue with the communists after all? The bald guy that came after the guy in the photo confirmed to Stalin that he wasn't an idiot and understood his plan that, if Hitler would attack, he'd commit self-disaster for the entire German ordeal.
