The bomb and the entrance of the Russians into the war will certainly have an effect on hastening the victory.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Rebuilding the military is something Putin will pay attention to.
If the tanks succeed, then victory follows.
The West will have to choose: either to come to terms with Russians, or to receive a retaliatory blow. This retaliatory blow will not be by means of war. We will resort to the same weapon: nationalism.
I feel that an understanding could be reached with Germany which would result in a lasting peace with Europe and believe that a German victory is preferable to a British and Soviet victory.
In the Soviet army it takes more courage to retreat than advance.
Any time the Western way of war can be unleashed on an enemy stupid enough to enter its arena, victory is assured.
The moment of victory is much too short to live for that and nothing else.
All we know is that, at times, fighting the Russians, we had to remove the piles of enemy bodies from before our trenches, so as to get a clear field of fire against new waves of assault.
There are no shortcuts to victory. We must commit ourselves to the slow, painstaking work of foreign policy day by day and year by year.
Nobody should have any illusion about the possibility of gaining military superiority over Russia. We will never allow this to happen.
