But its ALL related to the global-level pillage that took place in the aftermath of the Soviet State. Yes, Russia might be currently run by oligarchs and Putin sure as hell manipulated the shit out of internal electoral processes, but all of THAT exists because current and former GOP leadership and operatives put that pillage into place to enrich themselves and Rob blind the low peoples of a government that used to be our enemy.

That Trump is president is the result of screwing around with the economic aftermath of the Soviet collapse and the forced (by PaxAmericana Republicans) pillage of half of Asia.

It's the socio-political equalivant of Regan funding the Mujah hadeen(sp), the first Iraq war, and then wondering why Bin Laden wanted the Towers destroyed.

Trump is the fucking BLOWBACK of wallstreet and the Republicans pillaging the former Soviet Union.
