>But not that was happened. First they got the Baltics, part of Romania, Poland, tried Finaland. Later got half of Europe. Even Yugo became communist. Then China, North Korea. The whole Cold War was about turning third world into communist.

But this wasn't World Revolution that original bolsheviks demanded. Most of these countries were occupied in power play between big countries. Only former parts of Russian Empire and neighbors got "the communism", others had just "friendly socialistic governments" that could move pretty far from traditional political line. As analogy - modern US surely pulls countries like Iraq and Afghanistan into their sphere of influence by installing local "democratic" governments, but this isn't really an export of US capitalistic system, just power grab.

>>losing territory
>That was the strategy for Russia for centuries. They weren't queasy losing masses of people, they done that in peace too, supposing they were feared to lose land (what would be recaptured anyway - overconfidence can whisper that in their ears too) isn't reasonable.

But they were. Losing land is pretty painful for oversized imperial ego of many people. Even annexation of small Crimea (that already had almost open border with Russia before) made everyone forgot about any economical and political problem.

>BT was tried at Kalkhin-Gol and it wasn't good on terrain. It was supposed to be use on paved roads, what the west didn't lack.

And Khalkhin-Gol proved that BT isn't a future, so they stopped designing wheeled tanks. Maybe it was just an interwar error? It is also not fair to say that BT was purely a road tank. It was an average light tank, and wheel-moving was an addition.

>>airplains
>These support Suvorov. All the disadvantage of the air force can be disregarded if they strike first and catch Luftwaffe on the ground.
