I have never been comfortable with the Russin’s not now — not in the 1980’s. Then when I was taking a National Security course in the late 90’s in stumbled across this little gem;
Although the Soviets profess to be a peace-loving people interested only in protecting their borders, they bear watching at all times.
World domination is a very tenant of the Marxist-Leninist doctrine.
A statement made by Dimitri Z. Manuilsky, Deputy to the Comintern at the Lenin School of Political Warfare in Moscow, in 1930 is just as valid today:
War to the hilt, between communism and capitalism, is
inevitable. Today, of course, we are not strong
enough to attack. Our time will come in twenty or
thirty years. To win, we shall need the element of
surprise. The bourgeois will have to be put to sleep.
So, we begin by launching the most spectacular peace
movement on record. There will be electrifying
overtures and unheard of concessions. The capitalist
countries, stupid and decadent, will rejoice to
cooperate in their own destruction. They will leap at
another chance to be friends. As soon as their guard is
down, we shall smash them with our clenched fists!
Related to this Soviet strategy, the United States should have three strategic goals. First, it should maintain and update its strategic nuclear capabilities. This nuclear deterrent would not only deter Soviet invasion of the United States, but also support NATO in the defense of Western Europe. General John R. Galvin, Former Supreme Allied Commander Europe in the late 80’s, stated: General nuclear response remains the ultimate deterrent.
Anyone who doesn’t believe this election is important had probably re-read this and then study up on just how much Russian hardware in arriving daily in Central and South America — NATO can handle Russian aggression with our help...IMHO...
Just think we are roommates at the space station.
