#17  Well, people reading my posts would my assume I'm snarky or an asshole. I'd hate them to assume the wrong thing, since BOTH are true

#16  What assumption? I am talking about recent observations. I assume nothing.

#10  Just going to lay it out, Lex seems awfully angry the last couple days. I'm not going to argue with that anger, but I do take note of it.

#8  Bing translate sends it back as Sun Hui Vchai. A search on that came back with a South Korean actor.

#7  Yes, saying any advisor to Stalin should be listened to is asshole-ish.

#6  I did a search on those cyrillic characters but all the results were cyrillic characters. Sorry, I never studied Russian. Thought it would have been interesting but never got around to it.

Stalin might not have had the greatest ethnic record but did he kill any more minorities than he did ethnic Russians? Maybe he left Georgians alone.

#4  Pooh should take a cue from Stalin's Chinese advisor, Сунь Хуй Вчай

#3  Cool

#2  (a) Actually Stalin's ethnic record is not something to brag about: google "Chechen" or "Crimean Tatars", or "the doctors plot".
(b) Xenophobia has a long history in China. See wikipedia's Hua–Yi distinction

#1  So, ideologically speaking, Xi Jinping is more closely related to Adolf Hitler than he is to Joe Stalin. Doesn't matter, really. They're all evil.
