Hillary!™?
There was a book about his life and effort entitled “The Billion Dollar Spy”. I think it’s only been out for a couple of years.
or kennedy,leaky leahy,etc etc etc.
One has to wonder what Barry has given to Russians, Chinese, and Iranians.
The Russians execute their spies and ours run for President.
Another interesting post Sukhoi. Where to you keep finding this stuff? Thanks.
Who wrecked the “Soviet Warplane Industry”? . . . I don’t know for sure, but Ronald Reagan had a big part in it.
Years from now, “Who wrecked the American Warplane Industry?” will be answered with: “The two President Clintons and George H. Bush.”
Sukhoi: a comment and a question:
The comment is that Russian aircraft usually look odd. I have always believed a plane that looks good will fly good. Soviet aircraft usually look like something out of a 1940’s Flash Gordon comic book, BUT the Su-27 is a beautiful exception. (Opinion, obviously)
The question is “Why did Tolkachev do it?” Surely, it wasn’t simply for the money.

The aircraft also have the odd shade of blue and green colors.
The Russians have come a long when since then.
Their S300, S400 and soon S500 are the best SAM systems in the world. The Russian military is growing and fully funded.
Our military has been drastically cut under obama.
Hopefully we don’t rely on the hubris of the past instead of the reality of today...
This article (long but interesting) says it was anger against Soviet actions.

Good article. “A Soviet spy in the United States revealed Tolkachev’s own spying in early 1985. The Soviet government executed Tolkachev in 1986.”
From the article above.
Motivated by the persecution of his wife’s parents under Joseph Stalin and disappointed in the communist government, Tolkachev established ties to the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency in Moscow and, beginning in 1979, began transferring huge volumes of highly classified and extremely sensitive data about the most important avionics, radars and weapons installed in Soviet-made combat aircraft.
Hillary!™?"A Soviet spy in the United States revealed Tolkachev’s own spying in early 1985. The Soviet government executed Tolkachev in 1986."
Dramatizing the impact of espionage and lack of security precautions is precisely the missing link in the campaign against Hillary and her “secret” server.Trump might consider pointing out that if the Germans had seriously suspected that Normandy and not Calais was the Allies’ choice for invasion, they would simply have simply redeployed some of the Panzers which the Germans were holding in reserve far from Normandy. And that would have tipped the balance of power enough to have made the D-Day landing a disaster for America and Britain. The problem with using more modern examples is that it is still secret and we don’t know about them.
Pointing out Hillary’s malfeasances and crimes just is not effective with her supporters. You have to make people care about the consequences before it has any effect. They know about the malfeasance; they just have some silly “It’s only about sex” meme as a defense mechanism to protect their “liberalism."
He paid the ultimate price in the end. What about his wife and other family members? Espionage is a high risk venture.
Probably not. The Allies had sufficient air power to wipe out the Panzers during the day. Another infantry division would have been problematic but would have eventually fell.
Most Rats don’t give a “rats patoot” about national security, they consider it an archaic concept. Something forced on to society by the euro-centric, male dominated sub-Neanderthal racist ruling class.
In Zero’s case putting black skin in the White House was more important then what was inside it.
In Hellary’s case putting a vagina in the White House is more important then anything else. What’s attached to that vagina is just the necessary support mechanisms therefore not important.
He should be honored in the US. Maybe name a school after him or something?
And this should be a lesson to the liberal elites who think they are our masters. He turned against his government because they mistreated his inlaws. How many people in the US have been tormented by the IRS, the EPA, the DOJ, etc? Get a clue, liberals. The brains and the brawn that this country runs on are heavily conservative, since a large percentage of the liberal base is unemployed.
I hope that conservatives do NOT use their power and access to be traitors to the US, but I do hope they use their power to take down liberal “elites”.
YET THE RUSSIANS KEEP SELLING MONKEY MODEL DEFENCE EQUIPMENT.
