"If we were capable of manipulating the Russians or Chinese what would work better than assisting with creating a ruling class for them that came from Universities most known for pushing Western values?"

Yes, the education system is a huge part of the problem, but Holy crap! Free Republic is turning into conspiracy central. What next? Trump is a clandestine mole for the Build-some-burgers or Free Masons? Then there is always the demolition charges in the Twin Towers to fall back on. Enjoy your paranoia. Don't bother - I'm naive after 69 years.
