Thank you, Deborah, for talking about this extremely dangerous situation. I know if I share this article, I will be bashed by those who blindly believe that "Russia will win". Unfortunately, Russia (USSR) did not "win" to topple Gorbachev - and missed to see who he was and what he was doing. The result was a geopolitical catastrophe, the USSR was destroyed and the East Bloc countries raped, bombed, plundered and devastated, many turned into fascist states, including the former Soviet Republics. That's how "Russia won", simply because it failed to see the enemies within. I am afraid, this time it can happen again, with the consequences much more genocidal and devastating than even the destruction of the USSR.
