re: Sy Hersh: CIA Aided Biden Cover on Nord Stream 2

Have to be impressed with Biden’s 8-D chess playing. First approve the pipeline completion simply to spite Trump, state publicly that you’re going to do something to it, then blow it up.

and it becomes a question of who perpetrated the genocide of over 70 million ethnic Russians

Much of that was done prior to Stalin - and much done by the secret police

In the late 1930s, an ambitious commissar, dutifully enforcing Stalin's ethnic pogrom against the Russian peasantry in the Ukraine, bragged in a cable to Stalin that “I have sent you 18,000 enemies of the people...Loving you Nikita.” This Commissar was of course Nikita Khrushchev and Stalin rewarded him by naming Khrushchev First Secretary of the Ukrainian Communist Party

Though exact figures vary, over 1 million may have perished during Stalin’s Great Purge of the late 1930s. Whatever the true number, Stalin made Hitler look like a rank amateur.
