==The plan on both sides is now very clear: to give Russians and their neighbors the choice between communism and national socialism

Some choice, huh? That is the essence of dialectical strategy...to offer the enemy false choices. The key question is (and our foreign policy experts would do well to ponder this question carefully) who is this dialectic primarily designed to trap?

That is BS. Putin is not a national socialist, not unless they believe in very low flat taxes, business friendly policies, private property, trial by jury and other reforms that he's pushed through. This is typical scare mongering and russophobia.

I noticed you joined Free Republic 6/29/2005. Hmmm, why is it your hate Russia posts sound familiar?
