Putin’s “Dream” is of a greater Russia, NOT the return of the Soviet Union.

Putin is not trying to reestablish communism, where the state owns everything. His idea (and it is working so far), is to return Russia as a “World Power”. And doing that via the means the Communists were too ideological to do, like private enterprise, instead of state-direct production.

This really sounds like Obama administration-coached hysteria, to justify whatever comes next.

Remember the run-up to Libya, and the justifications for Egypt, Tunisia, and Syria?

Same playbook. Different victims.

So now we have the Yahoo’s, who never met a communist they didn’t like, continuing the anti-Russia agitation.

[Timber Rattler]

Yeah, the number if "experts" on this board and elsewhere, who claim that Putin is trying rebuild the Soviet Union, are demonstrating nothing but their ignorance of the man and Russia. Would any self-respecting Commie surround himself with Romanov trappings and embrace the Russian Orthodox Church?

[Psalm 144]

This really sounds like Obama administration-coached hysteria, to justify whatever comes next.

After recent events in Nevada, they -very- much need a foreign distraction. An excuse for continued economic failure and ‘security threat’ would be good too.
