Because this thread got started because I was dunking on someone who tried to say "Naw, naw, it wasn't STALIN, it was the CIA."
Clearly a comment that needed crap.
No, this thread got started when you tried to downplay the CIA's internal memo regarding Stalin's methods of leadership. Others denying that the photos were doctored by the USSR did come in, but after you made the initial comment. Your comment did one good thing though, it served as a nice springboard for me to address and contextualize.
To be fair, I don't doubt that the CIA may have embellished the extent to which photos were doctored as a part of its red scare tactics. Also, you still didn't answer my question about why shitting on Stalin is something you think MLs are supposed to do.
