Looks like everyone there remembers the USSR…

From what I’ve learned since this crisis began, given all the upheaval and depression that resulted from the breakup of the USSR I can understand the nostalgia of the older generations for the security and purpose that a strong union with Russia provided, I just don’t know how much of it is the same reactionary feeling and false remembrance that governs the actions of the Tea Party. My guess is that the comparison is apt but my ignorance on the details wins out at this point.

My guess is that, like the Tea Party, the individuals participating aren’t fully aware of what the real actor’s motives and endgame is and that it’s ultimately against their best interest.
