I've been calling this collaboration since my resurrection at Easter in 2012, when it became obvious to me that Putin was intentionally exposing (((the West))) by outplaying them within the established rules of their own bullshit globopolitical games. (Here's all your evidence, JPF.)  America is currently fending off the very same (((red revolution))) that ate Russia in the early 1900's—so naturally, the enemy of (((my enemy))) is my friend.
