1983. Recall it very well, and Ronald Reagan handling the constantly lying Soviet leadership, both military and Politburo member, pursuing them for the lies we knew (from AirForce and other sources) was the case. The 747 Korean Airlines plane flew, very briefly into prohibited soviet airspace, and did so at the same time a covert US mission of electronic air surveillance was going on (to the extent it was divulged, and as to who was it doing the spying).
The incompetent, top down morons at soviet air force sent a fighter up, who, under orders from his commanders, did not first ascertain WHAT his target was— and fired two missiles at it.
We lost a great Anti-Communist congressman, a trained (Emory) physician/surgeon, and true American. It is almost impossible at this late date (and knowing what we know the lengths the deep state will go for their globalist masters) not to consider that the 747 was tracked by our very surveill aircraft, they knew he was on the aircraft. There are many theories extant, and a whole lot more info now than then.
You are correct— the Marxist inheritors of the disaster of international Communism (the failed Soviet state- supported by the US LEFTists throughout Korean and the Vietnam war— including that A@@hole Walter Cronkite- paid owned media asset the “everybody’s grandpa” load of crap for a real Leftist toadie)-— these inheritors are the neo-Marxists, of obamaumao, the Squad (islamo-marxist/fascists, there is such a thing- see: Levin), and the crazed AntiFA/BLM lunatics that are supported by the DNC. Now confident the can destroy our Republic.
It cannot happen, not bidens/chi-coms, and not ever Harris a true non-American Communist. Fight them with everything we have.
John, THANK YOU for weighing in with those significant comments.
All I can add is a heartfelt AMEN!
