Reform is continuation UKIP its fair enough for someone to confuse the two.

UKIP still exists, I reserve the right to judge someone who wants to comment but someone hasn't noticed this now almost decade old change

Reform: UKIP lite. The Russian money and dog whistles remain.

How do you feel about WWI era Germans funding the Bolsheviks in Russia?

It's too early to tell.

Short-term or long-term?

Short term it was effective. It backfired though.

It got the Bolsheviks to take over, and one of their main goals on international stage was to estabilish Communism in Germany. They didn't get to it only because they were defeated by Poland in 1920, and you can't get to Germany without conquering Poland first. So, Germans funded a party that nearly started a war with their own country. That's a hell of a gamble.

The story doesn’t end there though. After that, what the Bolsheviks created utterly destroyed Germany then occupied it for 40+ years.

Pedant

Quite obvious what I mean
