Edie

The part about making an e-book made me mistake this for a book, my bad. Its also why I made recommendations towards footnotes.

As i said, I do specifically like your writing style.

Ego? Maybe. Maybe some autistic desire to see what I think is wrong corrected. I dont really know.
Not being the audience? Not sure how you determine that.

Since you seem to already know of the book, I'm not sure you will be interested in my work, it is simply transforming a scanned PDF version into EPUB, its the same book with the same words, nothing new or interesting.

The introduction is very well written, the style is nice. It leads you very well into— (the sentence was cut off)

Stalin didn’t understand democracies.

Not in theory

And... you've lost me.
The guy that had a massive library. That read a bunch... Didn't understand democracies, not even in theory? I refuse to believe that. You can dislike Stalin, think he is a dictator. But to say he didn't understand [liberal] democracies? That is ridiculous to me.

I'll skip the part about him being a dictator, down until the part with the chair, we have already talked about that. I hold that Stalin simply moved the chair out of the way, so that pictures could be taken (looking closer at the video, it seems as if Attlee even helps push the chair out of the way). Besides that, this kind of claim ought to be sourced! (e.g. with a footnote). Also Stalin did not sit down in the video you provided (which you wrote he did).

No panic. No questions. No visible reaction.
Just vibes—and the quiet confidence of a man who already knew about the Manhattan Project thanks to Soviet spies in Los Alamos.

This is an interesting idea! I have been working on The Cold War & Its Origins (Denna Frank Flemming) wherein the essentially opposite idea is laid out. That Stalin did not know it was the atom bomb and simply thought it a more conventional weapon. So it gives me something to ponder on.

The next part about editing the request also ought to be sourced/footnoted. And the Section III Pravda, even if it is in the sources at the bottom.

Having skimmed your book... I think The Cold War & Its Origins is a much better book.

Found the picture

That footage could very well just be of Stalin pushing a chair out of the way for photos, or something like that, quite different from what you wrote.

At the next meeting, Stalin entered the room, looked at Attlee’s seat—and PHYSICALLY PICKED UP THE CHAIR AND REMOVED IT

No source. The sources at the bottom (well, those that work) don't include the word "chair" anywhere.

WPF

Not to be negative... but did hexbear actually get it in, or was it just allowing the people to buy it?

They were?

Only 5 had entered yesterday, have the last 4 been confirmed to have entered?

Saudi Arabia sent 17 million USD to UNRWA in 2023^[2024 not available], UAE 15, Qatar 9, Jordan 7.8, Oman 3.2, Bahrain 3, Kuwait 2, Lebanon 1.1 (see the PDF for others). It's not like these countries haven't provided aid. And sending money to the UNRWA (or WFP) might be better than doing everything yourself. These orgs already have a full system in place to get and distribute resources. But it doesn't matter, neither UNRWA nor anyone else can get aid into Gaza right now.

Who needs Fascism when you have Social Democracy.
