To: The Loan Arranger

During the Cold War, we were not only worried about nation after nation falling to communism; we also cared for the millions living inside the communist world. Now many seem to have forgotten that particular aspect and assumed Russia's internal freedoms would grow and last in perpetuity. I fear the only way we will intervene is if old Soviet-style imperialism rebounds and starts making banana republics out of their neighbors like they did in the old days.

That would surely make us pay attention, though it may be too late by then. The Asian continent could then become our superior, seeded by a new-found nationalism and fueled by a simple nostalgia for greatness.

Or things could move toward civil war. Which would we prefer, honestly? Of course civil war, I dare say quite frankly.

Keep that Bircher talk up and you'll get banned for sure. There aren't any communists anymore, just unrepentant progressives. And they can be reached.

Provided they're latin.
