    41:16 "all for this system that doesn't work"? In what way exactly didn't it work?....after being virtually annihilated by Germany in WW2 and excluded from global trade markets thereafter?

      The system enabled one of the biggest, if not the biggest, mass murderer in history to rise to the top and rule the country as a dictator for 25+ years and murder millions. There were of course also the millions of Ukranians who were left by the system to starve in the twenties. And then the invasion of Hungary, and Czechoslovakia, the gulag archipeligo, etc. Do I need to go on?

      We will wait for an example of communisms success. Blaming other markets you aren’t involved with means it’s a failure. The west does just fine without communism

    Boer from SA. Perhaps I am just old fashioned, clearly there is no path to redemption for such high crimes. Line them. N man moet baie laag le dat hy draai op sy broers. Stuur hom om met God te praat is wat so probleem nodig het.

    It sounds to me like Blake rendered many valuable services to Britain and was an excellent double agent infiltrator of the KGP. His escape to Moscow with the help of some pacifist beaniks, not as far as in known KGB agents, is was completely impossible without extensive MI% and MI6 complicitity. Definitely the British secret services wanted him in Moscow. But would the nritish allow the betrayal of hundreds of their agents in Moscow and the execution of many of them after Blake betrayed them? Absolutely. Espionage is an extremely ruthless business. Blake as a mole within the KGB was worth far more to the British secret services than hundreds of run-of the mill spies. In addition, the British secret services probably assumed, and probably correctly. that these presumed spies working for Britian were KGB double agents.

    B29s off course? Bombed South Korean villages? Curtiss Lemay agreed in advance? Fiction or strange narrative?
