Stalin's USSR was not strong enough to be a rogue state in search of 
global domination--thank God.

Where Stalin *was* strong enough, interesting things happened. Go ask 
Trotsky, Bukharin, Kollontai, Zinoviev, Kamenev, Radek, Kirov, and 
many others whether Stalin was interested in domination or not.

Tell me what they say.
