Muellerism has gone global.

Half the frigging country of Germany collaborated with the Russians for nearly 50 years. Im kind of surprised the BBC never heard of East Germany.

I'm getting seriously confused which end of the political spectrum is supposed to be controlled by Russia.
My suspicion is that the Left *is* colluding with Russia but they are in usual radical fashion accusing everyone else of doing that.

I don’t want to type this here, because I don’t want Jim kicking me off the board, but I HAVE colluded with the Russians.
But they found me so useless they kicked me off their payroll :)

Funny how when Russia meant the Soviets it was preferable by the MSM and the Left to cozy up to them. Proof the MSM and the new left prefer dictatorships over a free society

Oh, it's the AfD colluding with Russia now? And here I thought it was the SPD.
Gerhard Schröder:
On his first official trip to Russia in late-1998, Schröder suggested that Germany was not likely to come up with more aid for the country. He also sought to detach himself from the close personal relationship that his predecessor, Helmut Kohl, had with Russian President Boris Yeltsin, saying that German-Russian relations should "develop independently of concrete political figures."[41] Soon after, however, he cultivated close ties with Yeltsin's successor, President Vladimir Putin, in an attempt to strengthen the "strategic partnership" between Berlin and Moscow,[42] including the opening of a gas pipeline from Russian Dan Marino-Pipelines over the Baltic Sea exclusively between Russia and Germany (see "Gazprom controversy" below). During his time in office, he visited the country five times. Schröder was criticised in the media, and subsequently by Angela Merkel, for calling Putin a "flawless democrat" on 22 November 2004, only days before Putin prematurely congratulated Viktor Yanukovich during the Orange Revolution.[43] Only a few days after his chancellorship, Schröder joined the board of directors of the joint venture. Thus bringing about new speculations about his prior objectivity. In his memoirs Decisions: My Life in Politics, Schröder still defends his friend and political ally, and states that "it would be wrong to place excessive demands on Russia when it comes to the rate of domestic political reform and democratic development, or to judge it solely on the basis of the Chechnya conflict."[44]. . .During his time in office, Schröder visited China six times.[45] He was the first Western politician to travel to Beijing and apologise after NATO jets had mistakenly bombed the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade in 1999.[46][47] In 2004, he and Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao established a secure, direct telephone line.[48] He also pressed for the lifting of the EU arms embargo on China. . .As Chancellor, Gerhard Schröder was a strong advocate of the Nord Stream pipeline project, which aims to supply Russian gas directly to Germany, thereby bypassing transit countries. . .In 2005, Russian President Vladimir Putins friend Schroeder hastily signed the deal just as he was departing the office from which he had been voted out days earlier. Within weeks, he started to oversee the project implementation himself, leading the Nord Stream AGs shareholder committee. . .In January 2009, the Wall Street Journal reported that Schröder would join the board of the oil company TNK-BP, a joint venture between oil major BP and Russian partners.[75] In 2016, Schröder switched to become manager of Nord Stream 2, an expansion of the original pipeline in which Gazprom is sole shareholder.[76] In 2017, Russia nominated Schröder to also serve as an independent director of the board of its biggest oil producer Rosneft.[77] At the time, Rosneft was under Western sanctions over Russias role in the Ukraine crisis.[78] Schröder told Blick that he would be paid about $350,000 annually for the part-time post.[79] His decision caused an outcry in Germany and abroad, especially in a climate of fear about any potential Russian interference in the 2017 German elections.[80] German Chancellor Angela Merkel criticized her predecessor, saying "I do not think what Mr Schröder is doing is okay. . ."
