There was a very interesting accounting by a business man in Fresno Ca about a dinner party mid 90’s in Moscow when the host’s wife who had some status in the communist party had quite abit to say about Obama becoming our next POTUSA. This didn’t/wasn’t much of a story beyond FR but Icpied it for reference.
Marxists-communists have always taken a far, far longer view of events than people on the political Right.
