Ending the days of cheap Russian subsidized gas for Ukraine, Belarus = Kremlin energy imperialism. Russia trying to hang on to the natural gas trade going across its territory, and resenting attempts to cut it out of deals = reviving the Soviet Union.
And suggesting that many of the colored revolutions did, in fact, have something to do with Mr. Soros (who profited from the oligarchs selling off Russia’s natural resources in the Nineties at below world market prices) and the CIA is hardly going to help the loyal opposition.
One bizarre thing I cannot figure out – why when it comes to so many other subjects, American conservatives and neoconservatives take the New York Times with a grain of salt. But when it comes to Russia, they swallow whatever it produces, regardless of statements from previous conservative heroes like Solzhenitsyn about Mr. Putin.
