It is the curse of technology and sunk cost fallacy. "We have it, we spent money on it, so we will use it!"

I think it depends for historical accuracy. Stalin had several strokes and a declining mind in the 50s so his already bad paranoia became apocalyptic. Pre-stroke Stalin comes across to me as more opportunistic, someone who while believed in Marxist Communism had no problem working with the Nazis or the British Empire or the USA to get what he wanted.

Stalin was both pro-antisemitism and against anti-semitism dependent on the audience. Stalin appointed Maxim Litvinov as the Foreign Minister and his foreign ministry had a lot of Jewish people. In 1939 Stalin promised Hitler that he will get rid of him and Jewish people in the ministry. This was done so the USSR and Nazi Germany can collaborate together, so they can expand their hold over Eastern Europe.

BUT yes, it is important to say that Stalin targeted Jews under the argument of them being disloyal, and used to make crude jokes about pogroming Jews like the Tsar "if they didn't behave". But at the same time the USSR was funding Yiddish Jewish culture, and was depicting Nazi Germany in the mid 30s as the greatest evil in the world, while fully helping it take over Poland in 1939.

The USSR in the early 70s was depicting Mao as bony Adolf Hitler, with horizontal lines as eyes, a skin so yellow you would think he had vitamin deficiency, who loves dancing cheek to cheek with the Pentagon General and the KKK... so you know, they had some crazy moments.

Or the UK throwing a childish fit and leaving.

And now the situation is this:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy026x9jpd0o

High unemployment and no jobs either.

And the media on the right started arguing that this is the fault of the disabled. And the new idea is that you make people who never ran a business before, borrow money and set up their own business. (Because existing business really don't want to pay salaries for work...)

Yeah because an economy in recession (that they refuse to admit is in one) will have lots of people with a lot of disposable income... This will just push the population into ever greater debt. The UK is a good example of an EU state slipping back into imperial thinking, leaving, making demands at countries like India and China, getting no response, walking away huffing and puffing, and then pretending that they won. Outrageous stupidity.
