Always with Honor: The Memoirs of General Wrangel

Everyone should read this book.
The book illustrates how the Bolsheviks, a tiny radical faction with limited genuine popular roots, weaponized wedge issues and manufactured grievance classes to fracture Russian society and seize control.
They operated as demagogues, exploiting war weariness among soldiers with promises of immediate peace, stoking class hatred by pitting peasants and workers against landlords, officers, and the bourgeoisie, and amplifying economic grievances with simplistic slogans of “land, bread, and plenty without effort.
Despite their small core numbers, these targeted divisions and lies created temporary mass mobilization and paralyzed opposition, while the Reds consolidated power through terror and control of central resources once illusions faded.
The nation is plunged into a terrible civil war which by its end will leave over 10 million Russians dead, All the grievance groups were still aggrieved if they still lived.
Seems like those tactics have a familiar ring to today. .The main people that profited from a destroyed Russia were the globalists.
Baron Rothschild, an 18th-century British nobleman is credited with saying that "the time to buy is when there's blood in the streets." They need America to bleed so they can buy us cheap.

World War 1 destroyed modern Western civilization and we are still paying the price for it. Europe has never recovered and never will. Russia would have been THE power in Europe not Germany, France, or England and Germany made sure Russia never would be. Germany greatly miscalculated how much damage communism would inflict on the World and ironically themselves

I would argue that the City of London has been doing pretty well financially last couple hundred years.
I would also say that you can see all these wedge issues on this board and the media being hammered at us. It is being done with intention.

Lenin's idea of globalism and the globalists aren't the same.

Lenin was only a tool to bring destruction to Russia. He was not part of the globalist faction.
Imagine if they can foment a revolution here. It is a reset where everyone loses everything, and they take it. Like Cuba, install a dictator. Trade with the dictator for property that was formally privately owned.

It was well known the Germans hoped to use Lenin to weaken Russia further but the Germans were unable to keep the lands Lenin gave them in exchange for peace because of American intervention in the West and the flu that almost crippled its industry and capability to fight on.
Churchill wanted to end the Bolshevik menace but was ignored by the allies. The overthrow of the Provincial Government was the end of Russia.

Churchill starved millions of Indians when he dumped the nations rice in the sea so the Japanese would not get it. I don't hate him for opposing Bolshevism. The radicals estimated they had to eliminate 10% of the population. It was pure evil.

You are so dumb.
You leftists and your lies.

So how has a 67-year-old British prime minister in poor health, 5000 miles away, fighting near-annihilation in a world war, come to be charged with causing such a cataclysmic disaster? The attempt to lay this at Churchill’s door stems from a sensationalist book by a Bengali-American journalist called Madhusree Mukerjee. As its title, Churchill’s Secret War, indicates, it was a largely conspiracist attempt to pin responsibility on a distant Churchill for undoubted mistakes on the ground in Bengal. The actual evidence shows that Churchill believed, based on information he was getting, that there was no food shortage in Bengal, but a demand problem caused by local mismanagement of the distribution system. Ironically, his view found unexpected support in a 2010 exchange between Mukerjee and the Nobel Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen, the world’s foremost expert on famine in India. Too little information, inadequately applied Commenting in The New York Times, Sen said Mukerjee “seems satisfied with little information” and that her data came from only two rice research stations, and those in only two out of 27 districts in Bengal. “The analysis I made,” countered Sen, “using data from all districts…indicated that food availability in 1943 (the famine year) was significantly higher than in 1941 (when there was no famine). There was indeed a substantial shortfall compared with demand, hugely enhanced in a war economy…but that is quite different from a shortfall of supply compared with supply in previous years…. Mukerjee seems to miss this crucial distinction, and in her single-minded…attempt to nail down Churchill, she ends up absolving British imperial policy of confusion and callousness.” The “confusion and callousness” to which Sen alludes had nothing to do with Churchill and was largely the result of wartime supply constraints, with most of Bengal’s boats commandeered or disabled, and uneasy relations between the elected, Muslim-led, coalition government of Bengal and its largely Hindu grain merchants, notorious for hoarding and speculation. Provincial autonomy, with democratically-elected ministries, was the result of the British-sponsored 1935 constitution, designed to give India dominion status, like Canada and Australia, once its princes and politicians agreed on a federal central government.

Germany was using Lenin as a tactic at the time. The hope was if they financed Lenin and the Revolution he began that it would either cause Russia to divert resources away from the war effort or knock the out all together which is what ended up happening. They were not thinking past that moment. WW1 was bogged down so and so completely stagnant because of trench warfare that Germany was looking to create any advantage they could to try and help break the stalemate of trench warfare and win the war. They were not thinking past that moment.
The strategy with Lenin worked out well for Germany so they thought that they would try something similar with Mexico. The American public did not want to go to war in Europe and had a strong isolationist sentiment. After the RMS Lusitania was sunk with over 100 Americans on it public opinion shifted a little and Germany started to get worried the US would enter the war. They sent an encrypted cable to Mexico and offered them some of the territory they lost to the US over the years back if they would enter the war and attack the US and fight on the side of Germany. This cable was intercepted and decrypted by England and eventually shown to President Wilson. The cable was eventually published in the papers and when the plot was revealed to the world the American public became outraged and Congress ended up declaring war and the rest is history as they say.

Just to finish off my last post here. The true mistake made was not by Germany for unleashing Lenin. That was bad and had terrible consequences sure. The true mistake made was made by the Allied powers at the end of WW1 and then again at the end of WW2.
Forcing Germany to swallow such a harsh and punitive deal at the end of WW1 pretty much ensured that Germany and its people would suffer economically which it did. Then once the Great Depression hit it made things worse and allowed and gave a radical person like Hitler a platform he normally would have had. It allowed him to rise to power. Since Hitler had delusions of grandeur and world domination he was able to rebuild the German military and due to weak leadership in the West was appeased till the point of no return was crossed and another World War was inevitable.
Because the West was weak and fails to stop Hitler in the beginning and allowed the war to happen that meant Russia and Stalin were inevitably going to be players in some way. Once Hitler turned on Stalin I think the West wanted to try to use Russia as a way to beat Hitler faster but there are consequences to every decision. Allying with a guy like Stalin means you have to help prop him up for a while so he can be useful. The West gave him aid and he fought on our side but it meant that he was going to take territory and the resources that come with that territory. When the war was finally over and it came time for the winners to set down and decide the fate of Europe the Allies did not Stand up to Stalin and make him give up the territory he had captured during the war. This act was probably the fatal mistake. Russia would have probably eventually died on a vine at some point. Because of WW2 though and all the extra land and resources it had access to the Soviet Union probably became a bigger threat than it otherwise would have. Not to mention having access to the captured German tech and Scientists they gained. I get everyone was tired of war and didn’t want to start fighting Russia. Not forcing Stalin back into his box and making him give up all this territory and German technology and knowledge put the world on its current course. It allowed Russia to rise. It allowed them to export its poisonous ideology around the world. Failure to snuff out the long march through the institutions has just added to our troubles today.

As long as we have our weapons we will make them pay a steep price.

I agree. The second amendment is a game changer.
However, if it comes to that. They have already won.
Everything we are being fed is just fake and gay.

Germany paid next to nothing of the reparations, Hitler was Germany’s own making. They censored the press to the point where their own soldiers believed they were betrayed and on the “cusp of victory” creating great distrust in German leadership
