Its also ironic to me that at the invitation of Abe Lincoln Russia sent two squadrons of its navy to harbor in New York and San Francisco harbor where they remained for seven months to deter any British naval assailants who might have been thinking of using our internal divisions to their own ends.
This was in 1863 an mere 54 years before the advent of Marxism. Today we are beset by those who are unable to seperate the ideology of marxism from todays Russia.
Instead they are pawns of those who are heck bent to get a fight between east and west stirred up.
Putin may be a strongman and a dictator but he definitively not a Communist. I'd say he was closest to Franco. I don't think Russia is Communist anymore.
And that is why I think the Globo-Commie in the White House and the Globo-Commies in London and the EU are so antagonistic toward Russia and Putin.
