Peter, we had this debate where people said, ‘you know, we didn't respect soviet sensitivities, we didn't respect stalin's psychology and look what happened — he conquered all his neighbors because he was disrespected. He conquered eastern europe, he conquered northeast asia. We should have respected him more'. Peter, i'm sorry but that argument is bunk.
