Yawn...as if a "stealth" Soviet Union would have let the U.S. hire more than 10,000 of their top scientists for our R&D instead of theirs for the past 15 years since the Soviet collapse. Or to demilitarize their heavy industries. Or to fail to bring to bear new tanks. Or to see their satellite fleet dwindle. Or to see their submarine fleet rust and sink. Even their super-cavitating torpedo blew up on them on the Kursk. Or to lag further behind in IC chip and software design. Or to be entangled in Checknya by mobs of radical Islamists. Or to lose the Ukraine's lucrative energy contracts with Germany.

Look, some people are so bored with their lives that they *need* to believe in giant conspiracy theories; facts be hung. The adrenaline rush from such fear-mongering is all that they've got.

Don't be someone like that.

Good points...provided, for example, that none of the 10K scientists are moles... Definitely no risk of that, right?

I know we agree there is some risk no matter what. And what you mention is certainly better than a fully escalated Cold War having continued for another couple of decades....

FReegards.
