I also don’t think it would have prevented the Bolshevik Revolution. Tsarist Russia was ripe to fall one way or the other

I think it is more ironic than funny, but all the Russians did, was exchange one set of despots, for another bunch of despots, who were even worse. Talk about jumping from the frying pan into the fire. It took the Russians 70 years to throw off communism. I wonder how long it will take Americans to also throw off communism?

Repeated hundreds, if not thousands of times in history, and it will continue until there are no humans left.
