The best moment of this best moment is the split second where he reads his line off of the prompt, cannot believe what he is about to say, and then goes ahead and says it in the best way humanly possible. And that’s the take they used.

It was awesome back in the day. Its clunky but still fun today. While it was a little campy during the cutscenes, it was actually supposed to have a more serious tone than RA2.
It also answers the question of what if Stalin didn't stop at Berlin.
