Wrong.
Putin et al belong exactly to the kind of Soviet functionaries that were behind the destruction of the Soviet system, since Soviet system was standing on their way of personal enrichment and acquisition of foreign goods.

Soviet Russia is still alive and well, and Trump and his cabinet answer to Putin. Trump and his people will be doing a lot of bending over for Putin, but then again, this is something Trump is use to because he has been bending over for Putin for a long, long time now.
No it's not, since Soviet system was all about welfare state and state ownership of anything and everything.
Trump ( financially speaking) wouldn't be interested in such country- it wouldn't give him any opportunities.
But since now it's operating in neo-liberal mode - yes, he is very much interested in "business opportunities" there.
That Russia still has army-fleet, bombs rockets and all, it's not because it's SOVIET, but because it's her legacy since TZARIST ( Imperial) TIMES.

Jesus)))))

This is more of the same martial law type nonsense the right spouts off about all the time.

Also what does "
The u.s. military is building up sanctions in Poland. All it is, is to prevent from Russia taking over the sanctions." mean?
Agreed.
It's never a good move to be the aggressor when leadership is changing hands. Silly to think otherwise.

Precursor to war I can see. Sanctions, often enough, lead to war.

If you say so Comrade, Putin was and is the leader of Soviet Russia. Of course now we have President Trump who is Putin's personal puppet.

Make America Soviet Again.

As in Soviet States of America?
Where should we send the dissidents then?
To United Arab Emirates?
I think it will do.

That's not necessarily a great place to be.

That - is actually the exact opposite of not giving a hoot.

If Russia is panicky about having skin contact with countries that can defend themselves, well - Russia's problem.
