    Hardly, it wasn’t her that invaded British owned territory. The Argentine was a de facto dictator . British were entitled to use force to protect civilians. The Argies deserved everything that they got and had Britian being in a better financial state to be able to wage a stronger response, they would have deserved some of their mainland cities been bombed out of it for the starting it

    unlikely. Vasily Blokhin of the NKVD did personally execute approximately 7000 polish officers during the Katyn massacre. He shot them one at a time over a period of 28 days.

    I read quite a bit about Stalins reign , apparently Blokhin turned up in a butchers apron , handed his empty gun back and forward to assistants to reload never even batting an eyelid.
    The rest of the executioners had to plied with vodka to get them through the day.
    Apparently Blokhin holds a record for the most continuous executions from a single event.

    Berias would reading about too , completely mad deviant.

    When did Blokhin set the record?

    I thought Hitler was the world record holder

    British people lived in the Faklands . It was British territory . The public in the Faklands wanted to remain British and wanted nothing to do with Argentina. Majority rules

    Why do you Shinners have serious difficulties understanding democracy ? I know the majority of ye are thick but to come on here spouting that utter garbage , lol

    Wouldn’t be the first time Shinners support or shed a tear for dictators and terrorists

    It high time that the peasant class shut their traps and find something more useful to do. Go to work, boy. Respect your betters

    This. Added to which Galtieri launched the whole misadventure as a propaganda exercise to revive his popularity at home, something that's bad when US presidents do it, but obviously that's a flexible principle... :D

    Didn't Stalin personally execute thousands while watching porn movies?
    And regularly strangled little puppies with his bare hands.

    Actually it was Beria that did all the executions according to the Stalin lovers of the Left. Stalin was very upset when he heard about it.
    Likwise Hitler blew a fuse when Hess told him about Auschwitz

    has anyone ever actually claimed that?

    even beria didnt get his hands dirty with executions. the only person he is known to have killed personally is the guy he replaced.

    This is a rather negative tread. How could Stalin be the worst dictator ? He is leaps and bounds, head and shoulders for being probably one of the best models for a promising despot to look up to.

    So whose the best despot and why ?

    Surely, the worst deposit is some who was extremely incompetent and wasn’t very good at killing people, especially the right people and rather timely lost his crown

    Pol Pot is the worst for me. He practically brought Cambodia back to the stone age and murdered millions of his own people.

    An honourable mention goes to my old boss . A fake smiling, buzzword spouting psychopathic tyrant.

    It was Beria that was the problem, Joe just couldn't keep him in line.

    Steve Buscemi sorted him out in the end.
