Meeting With A Tsar


For John, BLUFThe thing to remember is that it is possible Joseph Stalin was worse than Adolph Hitler.  Nothing to see here; just move along.




We had lunch, talked socially, put on a real sham drinking toasts to everyone, then had pictures made in the back yard.  I can deal with Stalin.  He is honest — but smart as hell.
