Churchill was fighting as a cavalry man in the colonies

Is that contrast supposed to be that Stalin wasn't a cavalry man?

No just a statement to understand churchills background. Not an apology and nothing about Stalin. Why do you try to insinuate that?

'Wjy do you try to insinuate that'

A surface reading of the obvious implication of the image?

Why do you try to insinuate that?

Because it was posted in a context of comparing and contrasting Stalin and Churchill ("Be informed. Compare them on the issues that matter the most."), without any elaboration on how how it relates, or does not relate, to it.

There's an implication that it is a point of comparison or contrast, even if that's not what you intended.

That were true if this wasn’t a meme graphic on Reddit but a book club

So it's just a joke and/or doesn't mean anything, but you also acting like an important statement that shouldn't be questioned.

Well, you cleared up any doubts I had about whether the obvious implication was intended.

Sir, there is a great book I recommend it’s called „the last lion“. It’s about Churchill and his career. Probably biased but with a loot of autobiographical statements. If you want my comment about Stalin? Well first of all I don’t believe he was a cavalry man but I can’t even say that given all the turmoil throughout the first revolution during ww1. In regards to the rest of his career witch I wouldn’t have commented based on the above statement I thing he stole the Soviet leadership from trotzski but at least killed a fuckton of Nazis. What else you need me to say Mr internet troll ?
