#4  When Reagan tried to put Euromissiles in play in the eighties, one right wing regime after another toppled. That is likely to happen again. Just the facts, ladies and gentlemen.

#1   Gerhard Schröder announced that he was going to work for RussiaÂ’s Gazprom, the gigantic, state-owned energy company, whose chairman is a former East German Stasi (secret police) officer. The Stasi officer was friendly with Putin when Putin was a KGB operative stationed in East Germany.

Schröder joined the Social Democratic Party in 1963 and became Chancellor of Germany in 1990. With unification of Germany a signficiant amount of former East German intelligence, Stasi files, etc, were never made available to US Intelligence. Within the community, little additional confirmation of Schröder's association with the KGB was necessary. His long standing support for the Nord Stream (oil pipeline from Russia) is well documented. Landing a high paying position with Gazprom is not surprise.
