And you do not see the link between Snowden's release of documentation on information war, the Trump-Russia collision hoax, and what has happened in Ukraine since 2014.

| | ::::I agree. Russian society/culture is not going to radically change after Putin loses power. And I never believed in the Russian-collusion hoax. And I do know that the CIA/NGOs can instigate and/or help cause revolutions such as the Orange Revolution. At the same time, historical research indicates that unmet societal expectations/instability (social/economic instablity) are the fuel of revolutions.

| | :::::Since the end of the Cold War, communism moved Westward. It always had a base in the West. The social unrest in the United States in the 1960s was Kremlin directed. Russia today has no organized global reach that it had with Communist parties all over the world that it had prior to 1991. The West through its various NGOs and other vehicles, including a vast media/propaganda apparatus, does have such a reach. And it is dominated by the same nihilistic Leftist ideology that dominated the Soviet Union and Comintern, using much the same revolutionary organizational techniques. The CIA owes much to the KGB, which essentially was its schoolmaster.
