[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

‘They were at peace with Germany?
Then you really don’t know anything about Russia.’

They had signed a Peace Treaty, demobilized their military, retreated behind shrunken borders, overthrown the government which had declared the war and executed its former leader. They were just as at peace with Germany as the Southern States were at peace with the Union in 1866.

“They had signed a Peace Treaty, demobilized their military, retreated behind shrunken borders, overthrown the government which had declared the war and executed its former leader. They were just as at peace with Germany as the Southern States were at peace with the Union in 1866.”

Well put.
