Should the U.S. work toward regime change in Russia? Why not? It’s worked before when the Germans helped Lenin overthrow the Kerensky regime.
No matter Lenin’s real intentions, it is undeniable that he received German logistical and financial support in 1917, and that his actions, from antiwar agitation in the Russian armies to his request for an unconditional cease-fire, served the interests of Russia’s wartime enemy in Berlin. — “Was Lenin a German Agent?”, The New York Times, June 19, 2017
What singled Lenin out from fellow Russian socialists was his fanatical opposition to the war and his support for Ukrainian independence.
It’s time for history to repeat itself. At the least, suspicion that one or more foreign governments are financing his potential overthrow should send Putin into a tailspin of paranoia, leading to more house arrests of Kremlin insiders and seeding distrust that could disrupt his war effort.
