The Soviet Union was never Russian.
People thought it was Russian in the same way people thing our own Senior Executive Service is American (and its kinfolk like Clinton and Obama).
But our SES is, like the Soviets were to Russia, an infiltration of America.
Our country has been infiltrated. It’s the way the enemy works.
“For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence—on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.”
-President John F. Kennedy
