to destabilize a region in order to pillage resources. I see the same pattern with the funding of RW extremist groups in the US. The tea party was one funded by the Koch's.

Progressives, social democrat liberals have organized in order to counter these groups, we are against funding violent poisonous anti social influences like the tea party, or extremist fundamentalists like Cruz, or Nazis like Trump.

It seems the only venom from the RW are lies and dirty money, and we aren't buying it.
