Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk believes Russian President Vladimir Putin "has a dream to restore the Soviet Union" — and Putin realizing that dream would be disastrous for the rest of the world.

"Every day, he goes further and further,” Yatsenyuk said in an interview that aired Sunday on NBC's “Meet the Press.” “And God knows where is the final destination.”

I just love how all the foreign wannabe dictato....sorry freedom fighters has learned these mantras to make some people in the West losing their mind salivating and eager to throw billions in aid for these magicians to benefit.

‘No crap! Communism is coming and here we are and our snake oil to help!’

People are saying that he wants to rebuild an empire, you are saying he doesn’t...

That's not what I'm saying at all...in fact I believe that Putin is trying to rebuild the old Tsarist Russian Empire.

Also, there are a bunch of folks on this board and elsewhere who are claiming that Putin is a Commie and is trying to rebuild the Soviet Union. He's not...he lost his Communist ideology a long time ago, and is styling himself as a new Tsar of a revived Russia. I have not once heard him mention Marx, Lenin, or world revolution. Instead, he's trumpeting Russian nationalism to rally his country behind him. That is not Communism.

I think the issue is empire, but if your opinion is that the lifelong Communist and KGB official wants to be more of a dictator than the usual Communist, and that also goes for the largely KGB leadership of the state church, I haven’t seen any big arguments about that yet.

I don’t know how you can so sure yet what the long term goal is of the hidden KGB, but right now I guess it is just opinions, I haven’t personally noticed that Communism is the issue being focused on here.
