Clinton raises a bugbear

‘Clinton Vows to Thwart New Soviet Union’

Wow, Clinton vows to thwart new Soviet Union:

The US is trying to prevent Russia from recreating a new version of the Soviet Union under the ruse of economic integration, Hillary Clinton warned on Thursday.

“There is a move to re-Sovietise the region,” the US secretary of state told a news conference in Dublin hours before going into a meeting with her Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov.

“It’s not going to be called that. It’s going to be called a customs union, it will be called Eurasian Union and all of that,” she said, referring to various iterations of a Moscow-backed plan to deepen economic ties with its neighbours.

“But let’s make no mistake about it. We know what the goal is and we are trying to figure out effective ways to slow down or prevent it.”

Oh sure, let’s make no mistake about it!

Is Mrs. Clinton concerned that the Russians will orchestrate something like NAFTA or the Free Trade Area of the Americas or the Trans-Pacific Partnership?

Is she afraid that the state will again own factories that produce junk automobiles?

Perhaps Clinton is worried that prisoners, languishing in neo-Soviet gulags, will be used for slave labor in the state’s war industries. And these war industries would support a vast network of military bases all over the world…

If I keep going, I’m definitely going to ruin my coffee high. Maybe someone else wants to take a stab at it.
