You're making yourself look like a fool.
Actually you are,there wasnt plenty
The whole thing was too stretched out to be supported,just like is happening to us right now
Empire is impossable to sustain
No most of the USSR isnt fertile land,again explain the grain embargo otherwise
Go on this should be funny
And when Im done letting you dangle on the line,Ill take a picture of some of those history books I didnt read,they shouldnt be hard to find,theyre over in my library
And theyre all very well thumbed through
Hint,hint,not only did I live through the period your trying to redefine,Im an avid fan of studying history
