A Russophobic Rant From Congress

"I hope Pat is getting a good stipend from Putin."

I wonder if you are too close to the truth. Too close for comfort.

Seeing how RT and Kremlin bots are pushing the same Alex Jones NWO/bankster/Jewish/conspiracy koolaid everywhere from zerohedge to here. How they play the paleocons, the traditionalists, the libertarians and all manner of paranoid malcontents like a fiddle by co-opting and exploiting the narrative.

At least during the Cold War the KGB was somewhat constrained by the Marxist-Leninist ideology of the CPSU. They could only engage Leftist/Marxist groups and individuals in the West with their rhetoric. They could not openly court nationalist/fascist and other groups without revealing their hypocrisy to their Leftist supporters. Until now.

With no official ideology to limit the scope of how they can present themselves to the outside world, the KGB are now completely opportunistic and utterly ruthless in their methods. One of them puts on a Western suit, crosses himself and voila, he is the defender of the West and Christianity all of a sudden somehow! (Nevermind that if you watch their internal narrative, meant for domestic consumptions, the West and USA in particular, are still Enemy No 1.)

For a long time I was a skeptic when it came to Anatoly Golytsin/Perestroika Deception thesis, but now when revanchist neo-Soviet emerges like a malignant phoenix from the ashes, I do begin to wonder. I do begin to wonder. For our sake I do hope their Topols and Bulavas feature the same fine quality of erstwhile Soviet workmanship - cold solder joints, hand-soldered jumpers across circuit boards and bolts "tightened" with a sledgehammer. Either that or we are screwed. Because we are asleep for the most part.

Pat, you ignorant slut. You and Ron Paul can both have a nice hot cup of STFU.

The Soviet Union was not an empire? Wow, that sentiment is beyond believe. I'm floored. I guess you think all of its member states willingly joined the Soviet Union. Was that why they needed an Iron Curtain to prevent people from leaving it's non-empire. You probably don't think they had a secret police, a GULAG, or an unfree country either. And what Putin does today is just defensive in nature because Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Georgia, and Ukraine are picking on poor Putin, in your mind.

You must have really been upset when Reagan called the Soviet Union an “evil empire.” Not only did he disparage the great nation Putin loved, the nation whose collapse Putin called the greatest tragedy of the 20th CEN, but he misdefined what an empire is, in your view.
