He does like to use raising nationalist parties to justify invasion.

Russia does have a claim on Brittany I see related to a 500 year old marriage to a Czar and a french royalty.

So the better question is who is funding the far left parties in Europe?

I suspect Sweden.

No..because it could possibly still turn out to be true.

So edgy or perhaps unaware of how utterly massive of a migration you would need to shift the balance in Europe for hundreds of years.

Although I agree Europe got a noticeable Salafi problem in the Migrants, they're less than 10% of Europes population. And very disorganized.

US is investigating claims. Doesn't mean that they're true. Even if they ARE true, what's wrong with that?

There's nothing inherently wrong with it. This simply confirms that Putin's interests are aligned with Europe's right wing populists.

And it's sort of hypocritical considering that the Russian government has curtailed several foreign foundations' abilities to fund things in Russia.

After the oppressive police state fell, the economies of multiple countries collapsed, privatization created huge inequalities, a few wars started, and quality of life declined significantly.

Life in Germany was extremely awful in 1945. Doesn't mean you lack a heart for not missing the Nazis.

Nationalism and "my country was great!" is what Putin meant by having a heart. A police state wouldn't be a bad thing to a former KGB officer.

Yes, I know. My point was that this is a rather eyebrow-raising definition of "heart".

A police state, among other flaws of the USSR, is probably what he meant by "He that wants it back has no brain."

He also called the collapse of the Soviet Union the "greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the twentieth century".
