Re: [A-List] Bovt-Why Moscow doesn't have a lot of friends



The Moscow Times is full of s--t. A George Soros funded rag putting out
US-CIA agitprop. The plain fact is that the first scenario set out below
and labelled as a "conspiracy theory" is the truth. Posting this nonsense
does not become a "Marxist" site.
