WHY DID THE RUSKIES TURN KENNEDY DOWN?
Or if they didn’t turn him down outright, they didn’t ever follow through on his offer.
I believe the story as I understand even Ted Kennedy didn’t deny an approach to the Ruskies but mumbled something about it not being the way it sounds.
Lefty BS why would a nobody senator try that stunt if not to cause Reagan harm and our country in the process he should have been jailed along with Peanut man.
Let me explain a bit better....this story fascinates me. I’ve read everything I could on it. I believe it because as I understand it even Ted Kennedy’s people didn’t deny it.
Seems Gorbachov released a bunch of Soviet records in the early 90’s. The London guy went through them and found the memo from the KGB guy about the approach to him by Sorenson about setting up a meeting with Kennedy and Andropov. The idea was to teach Andropov how to talk to the American media with the ultimate goal of convincing the American people that Reagan was a nasty guy what with insisting on not agreeing to a nuclear freeze.
Ted’s intention was to try to bring Reagan down. It was a betrayal of our country, pure and simple. The memo even mentioned that either Walter Cronkite or Baba Walters to do the interview.
What I don’t understand is the Ruskies didn’t take Sorenson up on the offer. Which they didn’t because Andropov never appeared on Meet the Press much less other members of the Russian army.
This was some grand scheme Kennedy had, likely with help from Kerry, to bring down Reagan with a little lying from the media.
It didn’t work because first of all...the Ruskies didn’t take the offer. I wonder why.
Later they got away with a betrayal over Vietnam which cost the lives of millions and know that as you read this Teddy’s burning in hell.
This is one amazing story....as I understand the Ruskies have now closed those files up again so the chance for Bloggers and all to get at them has been lost.
