“the Soviet Union collapses and . . . The Old Soviet apparatus was abandoned”

I don’t think the USSR/Russian core capitulated communist principle to the extent we here in the west believe.

It only ‘went dark.’

PM Putin as ‘former’ KGB and present Russian authoritarian activities buttress this theory.

They knew ‘hot-war’ would be disastrous on both fronts and had to develop a ‘new plan’ for conquest.

Rope-a-Dope works well, ask Ali.

We may have witnessed the biggest game of ‘possum’ ever.

Remember, the devil’s best trick has been to convince many that he does not exist.

Could be. The Russian mob could care less about communism or capitalism. Its all about living well (or, gaudy, if you know what I mean). I do know that most of the US cells are still active and, after a brief sense of betrayal, have reorganized into social change groups and are actively promoting the social policies of the old system. The results are what we see today in global warming, social welfare, gay rights, yada, yada, yada. The abandoned are now working with international socialism to continue the goal of one world government under a socialist system with, guess who??? as leaders!
