That plan was well underway when the Soviet Union collapsed and it has now born fruit.

Communist Goal #15

Capture one or both political parties.

The thing is, it would be easy for him to pile on along with the Demonrats, rat media, and RINO’s and blame Trump, deplorables, Q followers, and the like.

So why isn’t he?

This time it IS possible that this is Russian disinformation, trying to stoke conspiracy theories and gin-up violence in the upcoming days.

Gorby is the last Commie in power when the Marxist plan was to send Marxist/Communist Agitators and Agents to the United States to infiltrate co opt the Government

It's probably all these Agitators & Agents from Russia, stranded in the US after the USSR disintegrated, that regrouped to take over the USA. What else would they do? That's what they were trained to do. Gorbachev probably gets Christmas cards from them telling him how their lives are going, and dropping cryptic hints at what they're up to since they were stranded in the USA. Yeah, he knows who they are. First on my radar is Adam Schiff.

Gorbachev is one of the most tragic figures in modern history

He climbed the very dangerous and greasy pole of politics in the Soviet Union. It was a system built on lies, with huge contradictions, and a state that was completely unable and unwilling to change.

He attempted to change the system - stop the lies, resolve some of the contradictions.

But the thing was so rotted, it simply collapsed and events quickly spun out of control

And for the pain that the collapse caused, many people in Russia still hate him.

Someone in the USA will need to play that role also.

F the Russians. They continue to stir the pot with comments like this, adding just enough juice to keep the decent moving.

The Kremlin has plotted and schemed against USA for over 100 years, they know a lot more than we do about the psy ops they have unleashed on us.

Contrarian here: Russia is our one big strategic hope as an ally in confronting and containing China.

You are absolutely correct, but America’s “deep state” can never accept Russia as an partner.

Russia is a military power, it is an energy and resource power. It is huge size. Above all, it wants independence from the US dollar and US hegemony. Moreover, as a Christian nation, that promotes its own culture, language and religion without apology. America’s deep state sees it as a serious existential threat to America’s power.

The USA’s government will have to fundamentally change before anything you suggest can occur.

Gorbachev wasn’t a bad guy.

I know precious little about Gorbachev other than some snippets like Reagan's influence. Reagan showed him New York. But Gorby also visited Rudy Perpich in Minnesota. I'll tell you what, kaehurowing. Those old Soviets were jealous that they didn't have tech. They were looking for a benign socialism. They just don't get it. Sort of like looking for a good bad guy. For sure he wasn't a bad good guy.

I think he means the opposition party- AKA the democrat party. ACT Blue probably funded the operation.

Gorbachev wasn’t a bad guy. He was trying to dismantle communism without it collapsing the Soviet Union.


He wasn’t trying to dismantle communism. He was trying to save it.
