* JosephStalin towards Vladimir Lenin.
** Stalin was in it for power, rather than ideology, or personal affection towards Lenin, though.
*** Perhaps a better example from the time from would be BenitoMussolini to AdolfHitler?
*** Same thing. Mussolini and Franco were already well on their way to becoming oppressive and murderous fascist dictators in their own right when Hitler had his rise to power. Neither particularly ''liked'' Hitler, they just dealt with him because they didn't really have anyone else to turn to.
*** Indeed, Hitler was originally a PsychoSupporter for Mussolini, whose career as a dictator had started when Hitler only dreamed of power, and modelled much of his National Socialist party after Mussolini's example. Mussolini in his part despised Hitler, considering him a poser and holding his racial theories in contempt (many Jews sat in Mussolini's government), but when Hitler had amassed a military power far stronger than Italy and looked like he would actually win, Mussolini jumped in the bandwagon - easily the worst decision in his life, as without it he might have been remembered as hard but fair ruler in difficult times, despite of his ruthlessness and mediocre competence.
**** Hitler was practically in tears with joy when Mussolini agreed to work with him. We have recordings. Of course, that wasn't a great decision on his part, either, but European history shows that Italy and Germany are ''meant'' to be united, if you have imperial ambitions. Especially imperial ambitions centered in Germany.
*** Hitler in terms of trope was actually closer to Britain in regards to being a Psycho Supporter, since he was fascinated by the British use of empire, and wanted tips on how to do this sort of thing. Of course, that ended up backfiring on him, and you know the rest of history.

** Gunter--apparently actually an extremely competent academic, highly skilled swordsman, and powerful majutsusha, despite coming off as a brain-damaged {{Shotacon}} SquishyWizard. Being around Yuri just makes him dopey as hell, but also means he intently supports whatever Yuri wants, even when it's counter to every custom of the land.
** Conrad--almost as hypercompetent as he seems, and in fact a decent guy, but ''insane.'' Hard to say whether that first comes through when he tells Yuri that if Yuri gets killed Conrad will 'see him again soon' or when he is firm that to protect Yuri he will kill absolutely anyone, but that's just in the first dozen episodes, and by the end the level of his lifelong codependency issues have been thoroughly plumbed.
*** He doesn't really believe in this peace thing, but he believes in Yuri. Because it's Yuri. And Yuri is the center of his universe. Because someone has to be.
** Wolfram--well, okay, he's just an eighty-four-year-old teenager in love. Pass.

** Though it's kind of unclear with her whether she follows the world-conquest thing so intently because she's insane, or because she was raised to conquer the world, or because of bad genetics Zuko managed to avoid, or...anyway, she follows Ozai as much because he's her father and she wants to please him as because she's a megalomaniac. A little more megalomania and she could have offed him at a some point.
*** Maybe she would have. Once Zuko was safely dead, because even exiled he was technically first in line for the throne. But she still valued Ozai's opinion.

**** Hitler was practically in tears with joy when Mussolini agreed to work with him. We have recordings. Of course, that wasn't a great decision on his part, either, but European history shows that Italy and Germany are ''meant'' to be united, if you have imperial ambitions. Especially imperial ambitions centered in Germany.

** Actually, Colonel may fall under TooDumbToLive. See, the entire conflict started when Colonel refuses to surrender and come in for questioning so an investigation as to why Repliforce robots were seen at Sky Lagoon (which had been crashed into a city by Mavericks, leading to untold amounts of devastation). The reason this is TooDumbToLive is because X/Zero flat-out state to him (not an exaggeration; I cannot stress enough that it is said to his face) that if he does not come in, the officials will have no choice but to assume Repliforce crashed Sky Lagoon and declare them Mavericks. And Colonel states that his pride is more important, leading to his death, his sister's death, his army's death, and his leader's death. Great going, Colonel.

*** Indeed, Hitler was originally a PsychoSupporter for Mussolini, whose career as a dictator had started when Hitler only dreamed of power, and modelled much of his National Socialist party after Mussolini's example. Mussolini in his part despised Hitler, considering him a poser and holding his racial theories in contempt (many Jews sat in Mussolini's government), but when Hitler had amassed a military power far stronger than Italy and looked like he would actually win, Mussolini jumped in the bandwagon - easily the worst decision in his life, as without it he might have been remembered as hard but fair ruler in difficult times, despite of his ruthlessness and mediocre competence.
