Russia will always be the home of the founding of communism, and therefore will be loved by our elites in DC.
Communism came from Germany with some French inspiration. Two Germans invented it. And as for it rooting in Russia, Germany again is most culpable. In the height of WWI the Kaiser sent Lenin from Switzerland to Russia by train... allowing him to cross Germany to get there. His goal was to get Russia out of the war by removing the Czar.
Then they gave us nazism.
And now, globalism.
