"You capture the Soviet Union --I'm going to capture the states."-Thomas Roe to fellow Heritage Foundation member Robert Krieble.
Roe created the State Policy Network in 1992. TIL that Krieble funded the first of its kind Russian corporation for cooperation between Russia and U.S. businesses in 1991:

From the 1991 article when the Heritage Foundation brought their brand to Russia:
“Russia House is not financed by governments but by private people,” Mayor Popov said. “Aid in the form of commercial goods and food should not be the main effort. Aid would be over soon, and all would be as before. We need a free-market economy – but we don’t have people who can run a free market,” he said, speaking through a translator. “I told {Treasury} Secretary {Nicholas} Brady that many Americans will sign treaties with ministers – who then will disappear. Trade should be with private individuals and businesses.”
Gag me with a fucking spoon 🤮
Reading that makes me want to scream through history to warn that dude and the world what they had in mind. This shit is insane.
