"I suppose the main difference between Russia and the Soviet Union is that the Soviet Union was trying to demonstrate that its system was different and better than the Western one, while Putin is trying to show that there is no difference between Russia and the West today. Russia doesn’t have a vision for the future; Russia doesn’t have an appealing ideology. All he needs to do is show the West as hypocritical, as cynical as Russia is — that we’re all the same. It’s sort of a lower denominator."

So he's just trying to drag everyone into the mud?

When he has broken up the political unity among the European nations and with America, by fostering nationalistic and racist impulses, he hopes to make Russia into more of a superpower, I am thinking.

Ye Gods, America; what have you done?

I don't suppose anybody knows yet. The concern is whether we can ever get back to where we were, which wasn't paradise but was at least better than where we seem to be heading.

I read that in David Byrne's voice.

And of course, the reply...

.... same as if ever was.... same as it ever was.

Funny you should ask that. It all started back in 1971.... (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_F._Powell_Jr.#Powell_Memorandum)

The rest has been a slow build-up to this inevitable present.

What libtard bullshit. There is no atom of truth that Trump and Putin have a relationship. There is more proof that Hillary belongs in prison for the illegal e-mail server getting hacked with private, top secret, and classified material, and the fact that she ignored THIRTEEN HOURS of bloodshed and murder at Benghazi.

Wow, you really do live in a parallel universe! ('Cause it sure as hell ain't this one.)
