Blackwell isn’t dismissing the Russians as a bunch of buffoons who happen to be led by a KGB officer
Idiocy About Russia: Not Useful
Ken Blackwell,—for the record, my first choice for RNC chair–provides a useful Russian history lesson in Townhall. While making the argument that Jim Jones is not a useful idiot, Blackwell throws in some Russian reportage for those of us who attended state funded indoctrination centers: Beset by shortages, invading Germans, and civil war at home, Lenin presided over one famous Kremlin meeting during which he renewed his assurances that capitalism was on its last legs. ‘We will hang all the capitalists,’ Lenin pledged. His comrade Martov bitterly answered: ‘Under our great new socialist government, we couldn’t even find enough rope to hang them!’ Lenin, ever humorless, responded: ‘When I get ready to hang the capitalists, those useful idiots will sell me the rope—on credit.
Unlike the entire mainstream media, Blackwell isn’t dismissing the Russians as a bunch of buffoons who happen to be led by a KGB officer.
Now, we are told, the general calls Sergei Prikhodko, the Russian national security adviser, many nights. Gen. Jones believes that by regularly interacting with Prikhodko, he can better defend Americans from the threats we face today.
This while Russia works with Syria to provide their Chernobyl-based expertise on nuclear “energy”. Gee, if there was any reason to believe Syria was working on nuclear weapons rather than “energy”, we might be concerned. Russians know a thing or two about weapon making.
If it had not been the Clintons in power when the Soviet Union fell, perhaps a few things would be different. Like maybe every conversation Jones is having with his counterpart wouldn’t be recorded for less than honorable purposes.
Everything that Gen. Jones says to Prikhodko is being recorded. Everything. And everything he says is being checked by Russian Premier Vladimir Putin, the grim gray eminence in the Kremlin, against what his spies in the U.S. are telling him.
Gen. Jones, the Post informs us, is a light sleeper. Reading how closely he is working with his ‘opposite number’—as he calls Prikhodko—is enough to cause all of us to lose sleep.
