Tyrants in the World Stage

 The evil Russian tyrant, Vladimir Putin is losing the war in Ukraine.  He sent 150,000 of his countrymen to fight an evil and unjust war.  His glory at the cost of his soldiers.  I suppose that he thought that Ukrainians would just surrender at the sight of a Russian military column.  Bad mistake.  Did he not have any intelligence?  As of this date, it is estimated that 80,000 Russian soldiers have been killed or wounded.  This is typical tyrannical insanity.  The tyrants wants glory so they will sacrifice their people to get it.  Let's look at historical tyrants:

Stalin.  Stalin was a crazed tyrant.  He killed as many of his own people as his enemy, the Nazis.  Let's take Ukraine, for example.  Over four million Ukrainians were starved to death by order of Stalin. Stalin wanted to get rid of private farms so he could replace them with his communist system. Click here for details.  During the Nazi invasion of Russia, Stalin sacrificed his own soldiers with mind boggling military orders to his commanders.  When a trained, experienced, Russian military commander would recommend a certain plan of defense, Stalin preferred inexperienced commanders with little experience, as long as they were loyal to him.  Any commander he saw as not loyal, whether in fact or not, he would either remove them or have them killed.  It is estimated that Stalin killed about 20 million of his own people.

Mussolini:  The Italian dictator had visions of a remake of the Roman Empire. The reality was that he did not have the means to do it under any conditions.  His military was in bad shape; they lacked the proper weapons, the training and the leaders.  Like Hitler, his insanity led him to declare war on the world, basically, when the truth was that he could not even beat a small country such as Greece.  To please Hitler, he sent 250,000 soldiers to Russia, without even the proper clothing, let alone the proper weapons.  Over half of these soldiers were killed, either in combat or by the fierce Russian weather.  The soldiers that managed to return, came back in such bad shape that he withheld showing them to the country.

Hitler.  I don't think I'm off by stating that Hitler was insane.  Let's take his Russian invasion for example. It is estimated that about three million of his soldiers perished in Russia.  He did not consider the size of Russia, the freezing winters nor the problems with supplying such a large army for so far away.  In the Siege of Stalingrad, Hitler refused to let his army retreat when it was clear they had no way of advancing nor surviving.  

We could go on and on with examples of the insanity of tyrants.  In our lifetime we now have Putin repeating Hitler's mistakes, we have the lunatic in North Korea, Rocked Man and the Chinese tyrants who want to flex their insane muscles.  The beat goes on.
