#megalomaniacal corsican with a tad too much ambition#when he saya the sky is the limit he means it but the aky in this scenario just turned out to be the russian winter#thata something I don't really like you know because people always make fun of him for underestimating the russian winter which is just#not true.#same with hitler#the german-sowjet war part of ww2 began in june#same as with Napoleon he started the invasion during june as well#and almost the same day too it's beautifully ironic#the issue wasn't the invaders being too dumb#nobody in their right mind would try to invade russia during winter thats a suicide mission#I buy it that hitler thought he'd be quick with his invasion and then failed horrendously because of poor planning#but napoleon was better than that napoleon had a good strategy he could've managed it#but the russian armies had their scorched earth tactics and they lured the french further into the countries interior#and then the french were fucked because then winter came and they had to give up with that#Napoleon would not invade a country like russia during the winter I don't even like the guy and I know he's so much better than that#i hate that when people wanna be funny by dismissing something a dictator did as stupid because he's a dictator#horrible people can still be good tacticians and if you want to complain about him compkain about all the other rot he came up with#but leave the credit where credit is due the guy was a military genius
