I had never heard of her, so I spent the last few minutes reading up on her. What a POS elitist. She probably had no idea, that in a real communist take over, the commies would have thrown her into the canal as a traitor anyway.
Reads like Pravda from 25 years ago.
Thanks !
Dude could “learn” the same shyt just reading some of FR posts for several hours.
PRAVDA is pretty much the Russian equivalent of America’s Main Stream Media ...... no need for truth .... just political spin to control the masses.
I was stationed in Germany 1981-83. The Left in FRG was Baader-Meinhof & anarchists & every town had its Karl-Marx-Strasse. Better Red than dead was their slogan.
Bridges & autobahn overpasses had built-in niche holes in which to place charges to blow them in case of invasion. Lefties started filling these in with concrete to prevent that. But after locals began watching the bridges & beating the hell out of them, that stopped.
Germany has a much bigger muzzie problem than a commie one. Putin doesn’t need the Red Army to threaten Germany, he has Gazprom.
That says it all.
Most welcome Auntie Mame. :)

The Eurasian land route envisioned by the Russians and Chinese has a terminus in Germany. This would shorten the transportation time for goods and materials between Asia and Europe considerably while eliminating the need for Western 'security' along the way. Its not hard to see how this type of arrangement might become attractive to Germany, or how it might negatively effect Anglo-American global influence.
Yes, lots of Turks and Pakistanis and Iranians there.

It was funded the same way last time. It was Reagan's decontrol of the US oil market plus Saudi production that brought down the Soviet Union.
Instead, the Frankfurt School was brought to America and installed in a place of honor at our universities.
It's also not hard to see Poland as a potential problem for that plan.
That and the Soviet inability to do anything properly. They could barely feed themselves.
Am I better off now, with him, than I was before he came into power? For most the answer is yes. What most Russians don't see is that oil prices over the past 14 years went from $14 to more than $100 a barrel... Unless Putin was the one who jump-started China's insatiable demand for oil and other commodities that drove prices higher, he has had very little to do with Russia's recent "prosperity." ...if you take oil and gas riches away from Russia (lower prices can do that with ease), it is in a worse place today than it was 14 years ago... After the Soviet Union collapsed, Russia had a chance to broaden its economy; it had one of the most educated workforces in the world. Sadly, it squandered that opportunity. Name one non-commodity product that is exported from Russia. There aren't many; I can think only of vodka and military equipment.Don't forget terrorism, internet trolls, ID theft, and a treasonous POTUS.
It becomes a question of whether Poland wishes to prosper along with Germany or not. I'd argue the Baltic states would benefit greatly from proximity to such an overland Eurasian link as well.
The Chinese have alternate routes on the drawing board with Russia as a full partner, so it really only hurts Europe if Poland decided not to participate.
Putin already speaks German fluently. And, if I recall correctly, so do his daughters, as they all spoke it at home while he was stationed in former East Germany.
