Unfortunately communists have already taken over America in almost every respect - politics, media, schools.... perhaps this is why there is such intense hatred by the elites for Russia - because they are breaking away from their communist past.
Yes, and they are ready to enact the great reset. Putin is a threat because he would want to be part of the new order and his apparatus would infiltrate it and take it over from within. Remember, he is KGB.
So if the globalists want to ensure they retain control without resistance, Putin and his cronies must be removed from the playing board. Russian oligarchs will enjoy being part of the Gates-Soros-Bezos global ruling cabal rather than just being part of the Russian ruling cabal.
