I'd be very interested to see the passages from Nietzsche which Russell uses to reach these conclusions. I certainly don't remember anything in any of Nietzsche's books which expresses admiration for those "whose glory is cleverness in causing men to die." In fact quite the opposite. And the conquerors? And contemplation of pain? Really?
Without context I see no reason for Russell to reach these conclusions. Other than the quote, is there anything to show us that he's correct?
You'll have to take that up with Lord Russell.

Why did you quote it here?
