“Every one of the Russian protest “leaders” I’ve looked at can be traced back to Soros.”

Ok, so the opposition in Russia is led by commies. Putin’s gang are commies too. I think the Soviets figured out that it would be easy to lull America into complacency by allowing more than one party, and just making sure that you still control everyone running the parties. It’s not just this photo that is political theater, their whole system is political theater.

They used to do something similar on a smaller scale even before perestroika. Every decade or two, when they would get a bad famine, they would just feign as if they were becoming friendly, and adopting some reforms, until they got the foreign aid or concessions they wanted, and then, once the crisis was over, they were the same old enemies. North Korea learned that schtick from them.

Wrong.

I’m sorry but I’m engaged with the Jewish business community in Russia, and Jewish small businesses are loving Russia and Putin right now.

That’s a fact.

You may have some other perphiral issues, and I’m willing to discuss them when you’re ready.

Israel is very tight with Russia. Netanyahu is about to sign a contract with Putin to develop Israel’s Tamar gas fields in the Mediterranean Sea.

The protest movement is made up of people who have been banned from Russian politics. The Russian Communists have not been banned. They are the only opposition Putin allows to run against him. The real opposition is mostly made of patriotic Russian nationalists such as Alexei Navalny who do not want to keep wasting Russia's money subsidizing a giant non-Russian empire.
