How sad it is to see a “capitalist” Russia fighting a proxy war with the US in Ukraine – whilst attending cordial meetings with the current leader of that ogre – Donald Trump – pretending there’s no connection between the US and Neo-Nazi weaponry that is killing Russian soldiers and murdering Russian civilians. It is also disturbing to see Russia cosying-up to Zionist Israel – the high-level diplomatic meetings of which are being trumpeted across Russian-language media as being of a very “great success” – at exactly the same time as Russia removes the “Taliban” off the Terrorist List! What a long way we have come from the mighty (Soviet) Red Army entering Afghanistan in support of the democratically elected “Socialist” government chosen by the most progressive element of Afghan society! The US (in fact its CIA Operative – Osama Bin Laden) founded the “Islamo-Fascist” movement then termed the “Mujahadeen” – and now referred to by hundreds of splinter names – “ISIS”, “Al Qaeda”, “ISIL”, and the “Taliban” being just a few. Is Russia collaborating with the US – trading its own integrity for land in Ukraine? I remember the photographs of the heads of murdered Soviet soldiers which had to be “stitched” back on to the necks they had been severed from before being delivered back to their families – simply because they refused to “revert” to Islam whilst held prisoner in Afghanistan between 1979-1989. After-all, like Soviet Socialism – it is all in the past.
