(crumpet from Weasel Zippers)
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russians began taking down their statues of Josef Stalin, the mass murderer who killed millions of people. Astonishingly, in America, the National D-Day Memorial is honoring Stalin by placing his bust on a pedestal at its museum in Bedford, Virginia.
This misguided move will haunt millions of Ukrainians, Russians, Poles, Czechs, Hungarians, Jews, etc. whose families were massacred by this Soviet tyrant. Stalin's killing machine slaughtered more people than Adolf Hitler and the Nazis did
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? You _could_ (misguidedly) say that Stalin helped the allies in WWII.. but let's not forget, WHY he did (something taught to almost all decent high-school history classes).. only because Hitler reneged on the deal after the Polish invasion. Hell, if Hitler hadn't gone all meglomaniac and paranoid, Russia would have stayed out of Germany's way and there's no telling what might have happened.
SO this move is not only a WTF-moment, but it's WHAT THE HELL DO THESE IDIOTS THINK THEY"RE DOING moment.
