Dictators with Mommy issues

Post by nomadicwarlord »

A good read into the psyche of some of the world's ruthless dictators.

When Stalin visited his mother in 1935, shortly before her death, a doctor who was treating Keke recalled a conversation that went something like this:
"Why did you beat me so hard?"
"That's why you turned out so well. Joseph -- who exactly are you now?"
"Remember the tsar? Well, I'm like the tsar."
"You'd have done better to have become a priest."


Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe's mother "Bona"

Bona was not happy he had won," the student explained.
"We were at her house and she said, ‘He is not capable of doing it.
He is not the kind of person who will look after other people.'"

Revisionist claptrap.

Demonizing America's enemies is nothing new.

African dictators that fall out of favor are routinely accused of cannibalism, of all things :lol: :down:
