Kushner met with the head of a Russian bank under US sanctions? What's so suspicious about that? I'm sure it was perfectly innocent. I mean, anyone who'd marry into Trump Inc. must have unassailable integrity.

Is Russian capitalism so much darker in deed and motivation than Wall St. capitalism ? I think Karl Marx got world capitalism right way back in 1848.

My concern is with the fairly obvious quid-pro-quo nature of Kushner's meeting with an extremely wealthy and well-connected head of a Russian bank under US sanctions. This "bank" is essentially a slush fund for the Putin regime. I have ZERO illusions about the nature of capitalism, be it in the US, Russia, China, wherever.

The American people and the Russian people should get together to ban private , international banks in both our countries. The plutocracy in America and Putin's capitalist oligarchy in Russia are not worth a drop of any working class soldier's blood.
WE benefit from the international socialist point of view.

Would any " progressive " Democrat grill Kushner on sinister contacts with Israel ? Was the American working class consulted on this notion that WE have " special relationship " with Israel but a hostile relationship with Vladimir Putin's CAPITALIST oligarchy ?

Is ruling class tyranny in America less obnoxious than in post-communist Russia ?

And how can President Trump possibly be accused of promoting anti-Semitism ? There does seem to be a bizarre dispute going on between pro-Trump Zionists and pro-Hillary Zionists.

Yes, I would gladly grill Kushner on sinister contacts with Israel. I don't doubt he wholeheartedly approves of that apartheid state.
