For Vladimir Putin, the Cold War did not end – it has continued to this day. He blames the U.S. for the breakup of the Soviet Union. Only the tools used to achieve his goals – racism, hatred, violence, insurrection, antisemitism, cyberattacks, inflation, isolationism, and propaganda – have changed. His ally in this task has been Donald Trump and Fox News. Trump’s history. In 1977 he married Ivanka Zelnickova, a 28-year old Czechoslovakia model and a citizen of a communist country. In the 1970’s, citizens of all Soviet controlled countries were not allowed to travel abroad – unless they were KGB. By 1986, Trump sat next to Russian Ambassador Dubinin at an Estee Lauder event. Dubinin invited him to come to Russia – which he did in 1987. At this time, the KGB wanted to recruit more Americans. They used flattery and money – Trump was an ideal candidate. “As far back as 1987, Trump mentioned that he was considering a run for the Presidency. The Russians were thrilled.” (Company Intelligence US Presidential Republican Candidate Donald Trump’s Activities in Russia and Compromising Relationship with the Kremlin. 20 June 2016.) This report goes on to say that in 1990, Trump met several Russians (Tefhigrinskiy, Sapin, Kislin, Agalarov, and Shvets) and together they formed a U.S.-based real estate firm which was housed in a Trump Tower in Manhattan. These men were all KGB.
