The factors behind the failure to prevent a terrorist attack include a distrust of foreign intelligence, a focus on Ukraine and a distracting political crackdown at home.

The adversarial relationship between Washington and Moscow prevented U.S. officials from sharing any information about the plot beyond what was necessary, out of fear Russian authorities might learn their intelligence sources or methods.

      I should have probably said they claim to be socialist, but USSR and North Korea was first ones in my mind.

      I like your question, it’s only purpose is to try catch me on some small technicality, or get a chance to bombard 17 links to tankie wiki with alternative facts about how Stalin was actually a great democratically selected leader

              What you were rambling on is not worth an answer with thought behind it. I’m only fascinated how messed up one’s thought process can be to come to that sorta conclusions.

                  Yeah, gotta be messed up in the head to think of people and countries that are not white and do not loot, colonise or genocide.

                  Gotta be messed up from head if you think this is what I’m saying. And still defending Russian imperialism for some reason?
