Stopping Iran from developing nukes doesn't seem like a cause many people would be willing to get in the way of.

Well again, we were told by our president earlier this week our ally Russia was handling Iran and that was why we should just step back and let them fuck up Ukraine.

Meanwhile, our good friends in the Russian government and the state controlled media, have been cheering on destabilization of the U.S. and the production of Civil War! being put on in L.A. by the POTUS

Enjoy the military parade this weekend. I wonder who could have inspired that brilliant idea? 🤔

Also, a friendly reminder once again, the original members of the Heritage Foundation spent a lot of time in Russia prior to and immediately following the collapse of the Soviet Union, helping to create Russia's very first "free market."

They also established centers for freedom and democracy throughout Eastern Europe. Despite everything that would seem to indicate Putin despises democracy, Putin liked the ideas of the Heritage Foundation so much, he started creating think tanks of his own.

2009: In the Heart Of New York, Russia's 'Soft Power' Arm Gaining Momentum

Migranyan says the Institute for Democracy and Cooperation is not financed with Kremlin money, and that Kucherena depends on support from private sponsors. Nevertheless, the institute's views rarely diverge from that of the Kremlin's. Neither does one of its key stated goals -- studying Western democracy and "offering recommendations for its improvement." Founder Kucherena has argued that no country can monopolize the definition of democracy and human rights.

Migranyan used the institute to function as a kind of unofficial spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin's government. Migranyan told the Associated Press in 2008 that the creation of the institute had been approved by the Kremlin, but that it was funded privately through business donations.

That sounds kinda familiar... Oh yeah, it's because it's the same way the first free market of Russia was described in that 1991 Washington Post article about the first U.S.-Russia business created by the Heritage Foundation

Businessman Robert Krieble, who donated fax machines, computers and copiers to dissidents in the Soviet Union when "they were illegal," Lozansky said, is one of the financial supporters.
