We have unified the state in such a way that if any part were isolated from the common socialist state, it would not only inflict harm on the latter but would be unable to exist independently and would inevitably fall under foreign subjugation. Therefore, whoever attempts to destroy the socialist state … is an enemy, a sworn enemy of the state and of the peoples of the USSR. And we will destroy each and every such enemy, even if he is an old Bolshevik; we will destroy all his kin; we will mercilessly destroy anyone who by his deeds or his thoughts—threatens the unity of this socialist state. To the complete destruction of all enemies, themselves and their kin.
The Stalinist purges were all foretold by this bloody toast which was attended by many of the Soviet leaders.
The cruel policy initiated by Columbus and pursued by his successors resulted in complete genocide.
When we get to the point, as we one day will, that both sides know that in any outbreak of general hostilities, regardless of the element of surprise, destruction will be both reciprocal and complete, possibly we will have sense enough to meet at the conference table with the understanding that the era of armaments has ended and the human race must conform its actions to this truth or die.
ahhh the beauty of annihilation. There's nothing like it.
What will break me into a million pieces so that I am beyond repair, beyond usefulness?

He [Christ] came to bring peace, to be sure, but the peace that He came to bring must be built upon the complete destruction of the power of darkness.
All great leaders since Moses have known that a feared enemy must be crushed completely. (Sometimes they have learned this the hard way.) If one ember is left alight, no matter how dimly it smolders, a fire will eventually break out. More is lost through stopping halfway than through total annihilation: The enemy will recover, and will seek revenge. Crush him, not only in body but in spirit.
A debt should be paid off till the last penny; An enemy should be destroyed without a trace
