    Zapp Brannigan’s Big Book of War is a classic though.

    Only a very stable military genius uses the strategy of exhausting the enemy’s ammunition until they run out on your own troops.

          I see your point, but there are plenty of “stable geniuses” (aka idiots) who aren’t Russian and as I teach chemistry, I’m obliged to point out that there are (or at least were) plenty of Russians who are literally brilliant scientists.

          I mean, just off the top of my head, Mendelev literally invented the Periodic Table, and if you read the first third of an organic chem textbook, you can’t go 2 pages without seeing a Russian name.
