The difference is - America fell. Russia did not.

You may have read that the last president to have his AG go after aipac for violating the FARA of 1938 proved fatal -- to bot that president and to his AG …

JFK had turned RFK loose on aipac and all of their tentacles in the US for violating the FARA of 1938 … and both were assassinated at least partially due to this. Recall, too, how one of the very first official acts of LBJ's presidency was to tell RFK to back off … and, of course, LBJ further backed israel against the US in the USS Liberty incident when he ordered any and all efforts to help the USS Liberty to stand down -- and then ordered, and threatened with severe legal consequences, any USS Liberty or other US military member who dared to contradict LBJ's official explanation of the incident.

'friend and ally', indeed …

Deceased Boris Berezovsky, once the most powerful of Russian oligarchs and the puppit master behind Yeltsin during the late 90's. After looting billions in national wealth and elevating Putin to the presidency, he overreached himself and eventually went into exile. He had planned to transform Russia into a fake two party state, one social democratic and one neoconservative, in which heated public battles would be fought on divisive, symbolic issues, while behind the scenes both parties would actually be controlled by the same ruling ELites (Bibi's blackmail) With the citizenry thus permanently divided and popular dissatisfaction safely channeled into meaningless dead-ends, Russia's rulers could maintain unlimited wealth and power for themselves, with little threat to their reign. Given America's history over the last couple of decades, perhaps we can guess where Berezovsky got his idea for such a clever political scheme.
