It’s time to admit it: Mitt Romney was right about Russia
--- Quote ---
> During the 2012 presidential race, Mitt Romney was ridiculed
for calling Russia "our number one geopolitical foe." In today’s
episode of The Point, CNN’s Chris Cillizza explains how Romney's
comments are now viewed in a much different light.

--- Quote ---
> The Harkonnen name was believed to originate in what was
western Russian Empire
> ...
> After many centuries toiling as a House Minor, Harkonnen
influence gradually rose within the Landsraad, due mostly to
shrewd manipulation of the whale fur market, which was primarily
the efforts of Baron Dmitri Harkonnen and his son Baron Vladimir
Harkonnen.
>
> House Harkonnen had built its power on maximising production
output, and minimising production expenses by ignoring
economically ethical behaviour. Indeed, Harkonnen governing was
based upon a simple foundation of fear and terror. They were
used in governance, in the day-to-day running of the Harkonnen
household, and in controlling the Harkonnen armies. With a
social order based on treachery and punishment, soldiers rose
through the ranks through deceit, trickery and, if necessary,
assassination.
> ...
> Despite House Harkonnen's relative power prior to the end of
the Corrino Empire, Vladimir Harkonnen desired the ultimate
achievement of usurping the Corrinos and form the Harkonnen
Empire. Thus, he secretly plotted against both House Atreides
and House Corrino, hoping to destroy the former and overpower
the latter through force and marriage.

> Frank Herbert wanted a harsh-sounding name for the
antagonistic family opposing House Atreides in Dune. He came
across the name "Härkönen" in a California telephone book and
thought that it sounded "Soviet"
