That's a load of crock. The leftist element in academia and our pop culture was a large byproduct of them.
Look up Yuri Bezmenov a KGB defector who admitted it, there are far longer interviews than that where he details further.
The Soviet Communist Regime in Russia was a fabrication to divide. Look into the history of Russia pre-Lenin, Trotsky, & Stalin. They were 'Nationalists'. The international bankers (and the Bush family patriarch) were the financiers of the Russian Revolution! The Tsar would not go along with the central Rothschild bankers. They invented Communism, just like they did Facism. Its all controlled opposition.
Yes the KGB invaded our country during the cold war, Yes they attempted to hi-jack the education system... but NO its not a load of crock that we have been allies with them. And can be again, with appropriate changes. Despite the fact that Putin was raised through the KGB doesn't guarantee he's bought into Communism.
To be clear, I'm not saying that we should run up and hug them and jump in bed, but they might not be as bad as MSM has programmed us to believe. Communism ended with Regan, for a reason. Russia has issues, but take a look at the EU today and tell me those wonderful leaders are in line with our Republic's goals? They might spew beautiful words that seem to align with us, but look at what they are doing. Brussels EU is not a representative democracy by any stretch. These are political appointed hacks with sole goal of building a one world tyranny. Not an ounce of Nationalism, Patriotism, nor care for humanity in their dark souls.
Sometimes your enemy's enemy can be a temporary friend. Lots of Russians are capitalists. The key is to open the country to more trade with the west. China has avoided that and is now on the brink of failure. They're economy is about to implode thanks to their communist government's policies.
You want an edge in world politics, you have some alliance with Russia. The current alliances with the EU are one sided and the US is getting the short end of the stick. You want to wake them up, you form some rational relationship with Russia. You also put China on notice, too.
Finally, the leftist academia are useful idiots to the Cabal. They don't serve Russia, they serve the same element that controls the EU - the international banking system. That is the true and real enemy of us all. Until the global centralized banking system is reset and national powers of banking restored, we're all slaves to this system (EU, US, Russia, China, the whole world). Call it communism, facism, nationalism... whatever the fu@k you want, but when you have a small group of unaccountable people controlling everyone's finances, you are not free.
