Oh yeah right cause Stalin coming to power, Castro coming to power and Mao in China were failed communist revolts under Russia's red ideology ..ya uh huh I've heard enough
Ask Castro what happened when he forgot he lived 90 miles away :mjlol:

I haven't read nothing on this issue but evidence seems to point towards the US and the West winning that battle. Obviously not the war, since Russia is still around and yields influence.

What I would like to know more about is the USSR/Russia's dealing with Arab countries. I mean in all this time the only terrorist attack I can think of is the one in that theater, despite a war going on with Chechnya since god know when. Plus we know they're involved in the ME and (if I'm not mistaken) Pakistan. One would think that such meddling would come back to bite them as it did the US or Western countries, but it seems to be less the case with Moscow.

I read recently that they may have trained Zawahiri according to two former FSB agents. The guy in general is a ghost though. On the government side they often exerted influence in Syria, Egypt, probably others I've forgotten. Then you have the Soviet Union and their lot but they lost a lot of juice after they couldn't exert their former financial and material support. There was the theater attack, Beslan school massacre, numerous train bombings, Moscow apartment bombings(possible FSB false flag), everything that happens in the Caucasus post war could be described as terrorism. In the West I think we get a very limited view of what's actually happening there. There's still a low intensity conflict in Chechnya, Ingushetia, and Dagestan last I knew.

Things will certainly ramp up in Russia if not at least the Caucasus again it's just a matter of when, and the historical grievances can't be understated. Supporting Assad just sweetens the deal for that lot.

Well if you look at a map, you understand why Russia is so antsy about the middle east. Its their backyard.

BUT...the US, being capitalistic, was able to offer more to the development of most of those regions more than Russia was.

Also consider that most of those regions are formerly european vassal states: Egypt, Iraq, and other small kingdoms are British. Syria? France.

So all of those anglo ties ended up going to the West. Not to mention, any sort of communist/socialist party that gained favor was instantly shamed and shuttled out of existence in favor of either monarchies or "democracies"

This would seriously blow my mind.

Seems like the KGB was watching game tapes (pre-Elin Tiger) while the US was fukking blacks (Mickleson - and his wife as payback, or vice versa).

:yeshrug:

KGB, like Tiger, fell off but the game can't be denied - and the potential is still there.
