Post Communism Russia is not the Soviet Union
Realclearpolitics ^ | Aug 7,2018 | Daniel J. Mahone

... On the right, hatred of Russia also runs deep, and little or no distinction is made in most quarters between things Russian and Soviet. As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, a Russian patriot and the anti-communist par excellence, told an interviewer in 2006, that is very disappointing, indeed. Why such blindness and rigidity across the political and media class in the Western world, and in the United States in particular?

Guy needs and editor. I’ll fix it for him:

‘Among the Jewish NeoCons, hatred of Russia also runs deep, and little or no distinction is made in most quarters between things Russian and Soviet.’

Tell that to Putin. He doesn’t seem to get it.

PUTIN is the one who is still stuck in Stalin-land and bitter about the collapse. And wanting to revenge. And he hates America as much as any lefty Democrat.

“But post-communist Russia is not the Soviet Union”

But doesn’t Putin want to restore the Soviet Union?

No, but the Democrat party is trying to make America into the Soviet Union.

I hope you’re well paid to pretend you’re stupid enough to believe what you just posted rather than really being stupid enough to believe it.

The Democrats didn’t hate the Soviet Union, only post-soviet Russia, and only after they stopped the gravy train when Trump was elected. Remember, almost everyone connected to the Clintons were on the Russian payroll.

Simply put...

NO

He has more than enough on his hands with the changes going on there and Communist Dogma about taking over the world is dead and gone

Precisely. The tsarist Russian empire. Soviet empire. And since Marxism/Leninism has lost its panache he peddles oligarchic oil wealth and counterfeit Christianity as his mantle instead.

The huge difference between Russia and the Soviet Union is that Soviet Union had a messianic, religious ideology it was promoting throughout the world. Yes, it worked for national power, but it cloaked itself in the religion of global marxism

Russia is the opposite. It works for national power, but its ideology is now the opposite. It focuses on Russian culture, Russian religion, Russian language and Russian race. It has no ideology to sell the world.

That makes a very typical nation, and you engage it in the same way as all rivals

——It works for national power,-—

It appears to work for national power. In fact, Putin’s primary function is to keep Mother Russia from dying, to keep her alive.

Among the Jewish NeoCons,

This thread is already toxic so this is my last comment. But a) just putting "Neocon" next to Jewish does not conceal nor undo the anti-Semitism inherent in your statement and

b) You are the Neo-con, but you are fine with empire so long as Putin is building it and yet he wants America to foot the bill for Syria reconstruction. Hypocricy much?

No, he wants to restore the Czarist Russian empire.

In a sense the problem was never that the Russians were communist, but that the communists were Russian :-)

As a corollary to my statement, the fact that Putin and Russia are now specifically "pro-Russian" is why the globalist, leftist "deep state" hates them so much.

You can't have a major power, particularly one sitting on the periphery of Europe, who says NO to Western Finance, NO to US dollar dominance, NO to Western Progressivism, says NO to the phony "multiculturalism" and global "liberal democracy."

You are slipping. The talking points call for you to label those you disagree with as “Little Hitlers”.

Re-read your instructions.

I know it’s fun to play the Jew game. But neocons have moved for from any Jewish roots. Dick Cheney, George Bush, Bolton, Bremmer, Condeleeza, McCain, Graham, Romney, Petraeus, McMaster, Neuland, and many others are not Jewish.

There is a reason the globalists despise Trump and Putin equally and use the same terms. And this is also why they flipped out and lost their minds that they had that press conference together.

He is in the process of basically bringing back the evil empire. And then-some when you include positions in the strategic Middle East. Team Trump is fully aware of this.
