An amazing interview with the top communist apparatchik Mikhail Gorbachev. He repeats, although this time quite clearly, that in fact he was fighting to keep the Soviet Union alive. He did his best to defend the Soviet Union. Gorbachev explains that perestroika succeeded but it was disrupted. Soviet Union "could have existed longer today as the community of the sovereign states".

Gorbachev simply wasn’t enough of a communist tyrant to keep the USSR together, unlike our Dear Leader. Obama has what it takes both as a communist and as a tyrant and could have held the USSR together. Bill Ayers (after the revolution succeeds and the government is overthrown, we might have to eliminate 25 million Americans who might not conform to the new order) taught his student well, and Obama would give the necessary orders and then enjoy an afternoon of golf.

Gorby served the Soviet Union, and Obama still does.

And does anyone wonder why the Soviet Union is such a mess. They seem to never learn how to destroy their Country.

People don’t remember Gorbachev using his tanks, poison gas, and dictatorial powers to crush and kill the unwilling members of the empire he ruled.

Mainstream historians still paint a rosy picture of Gorbachev. The sam account painting Yuri Adnropov as a reformer - when it was Andropov who was the KGB station chief in Budapest and was instrumental in sending in the Soviet tanks, just as he was complicit in putting down the Prague Spring, the attempted assassination of JP@.....

Gorby tried to save the Soviet Union like Baraq is trying to save America: with more Socialism.

Fortunately Obama was only in his 20s at the time and his best efforts to save the Soviet Union didn’t have any impact.

>>>>>>>Gorby tried to save the Soviet Union like Baraq is trying to save America: with more Socialism.>>>>>>

In fact Obama’s international policy is a carbon copy of Gorby’s, domestic is as similar as possible considering differences between US and SU systems.

Both are fighting a useless war in the exact same place while developed a guilt disorder and busy to ‘fix’ a ‘bogey’ image of their nations they are hating ruining their influence worldwide. Both are making already enormous debts skyrocketing to corrupt inefficient businesses with government money and buy support from socialist underclasses ruining monetary systems, one for the West as other did for an East Bloc.

Well, Gorby has started as a farm manager, Obama was a community organizer so you can’t blame them too much.

I shouldn't be surprised since both are using Das Kapital as a user's manual, or maybe I should say as a religious text.

They willingly sacrifice people's lives to the god of Socialism. I'm sure they'd sacrifice them all if they got the chance.
