Gorbachev becomes more credible than our own govt.... We live in Interesting times
That was my first thought, too! How ironic that I trust Gorby more than I trust Pelosi!

Gorbachev wasn’t a bad guy.
He would have been had Reagan not forced his hand.
Gorbachev and Reagan were friends.

Gorbachev is not on our side. He’s just a jaded old failure enjoying a fantasy about the demise of his old adversary, the US.Exactly, Gorby is the last Commie in power when the Marxist plan was to send Marxist/Communist Agitators and Agents to the United States to infiltrate co opt the Government and then deliver the US to the SOVIET RUSSIAN Dictator to rule.
After Reagan Collapsed the Soviet Union (Soviet Russia), Gorbachev and all those Russian Commies knew they'd never get a thing. Sheer jealous rage.

I’m sure China filled the Russians in on how they plotted the “siege.”

Contrarian here: Russia is our one big strategic hope as an ally in confronting and containing China. At the core, we share no humanist values whatsoever with China, whereas the Russian people are deeply spiritual.
Of course the globalists and neocons running Foggy Bottom will never work to pursue a strategic partnership between the US and Russia, a reason they hate and fear Trump....and Russia. Because they thought he might pull it off,
All their phony chest bumping, provocation and confrontation has done is push Putin to look East to ties with China ...the alliance “ they” say could ‘ never” happen

Gorbachev and Reagan were friends. Not until Rejkjavik. Then they gained a mutual respect for each other. And the Hawks never forgave Reagan for it, they felt betrayed.

I did not know Gorbachev was still alive. It’s kind of nice to know he is, nice to hear a news item from him. I don’t know, maybe it makes me feel young. Anyway, I read the article but it does not say ‘who’ plotted the siege? Are we going to find out?

Did he have spies on the ground?
Gorbie's source could well be former Colorado Senator Gary Hart. When Hart got pushed out of politics so we could have 20 years of the Bush-Clinton years, Gorbie got him some fat consulting contracts to connect the former USSR with fiber optic cable. Hart has been very hostile to PDJT on his online blog, perhaps because he put together a political coalition of working class people that used to comprise the heart of the old FDR-JFK Dem party. As smart as he is, Hart never understood the importance of such people. Clinton then took over the Hart's "New Democrat" movement, and the rest is history.

If it weren’t for Reagan, Soviet hardliners would have stayed in power. They knew that bluster would not intimidate Reagan. He would not appease soviet tyrants.
They thought the Mr. smoothie Gorbachev would placate Reagan. That’s the reason Gorbachev was put in power. Didn’t work.

I totally agree with you. They’ve been through this. They know how to navigate the era we are entering.

So then, who was it? WHO plotted all the chaos?

I’m wondering if he thinks it was really engineered by extreme right-wingers, or was a set-up by the left to discredit Trump and his supporters.
To: silverleaf
Was talking about the USSR.
