Major Golitsyn of the KGB defected in Dec. 1961, and proved a difficult character to debrief. But as early as 1963, he was warning of a long-term Soviet-planned mass deception (although not quite what he wrote in 1989): Golitsyn.
1. The US having been attacked within the past 2 years by "terrorists" aided by one or more anti-Western nations of the Trans-Asian Axis, resulting in the complete destruction of the World Trade Center and surrounding buildings.
2. A military and economic Axis between Russia and the PRC.
3. An ever expanding band of nations, overtly supported by the PRC and Russia (aka USSR2) all of who are either harboring anti-Western terrorists, or, are arming heavily, in some cases with WMD, in preparation for war against the West.
4. A slow consumption of Latin American nation states by Castro style communism. Once consumed, they overtly partner with either the PRC, Russia, Cuba, rogue nations, or all of the forgoing.
5. As the US slowly mobilizes to oppose the coming resurgence of anti-Western conquest, an "anti-war" movement, funded by international Communism, is creating an increasing political problem for Western leadership.
6. As the US continues to disarm, based on pie-crust treaties and geopolitical blindness brought on by the Perestroika Deception, the sum total of nations in the Trans-Asian Axis (e.g. Russia, DPRK, PRC, Laos, Myanmar, Pakistan, Ukraine, Belarus, others...), when considered collectively, are engaged in an arms race including both nuclear and other weapons systems, which the US has yet to start running in.
7. Beyond the obvious hot spots such as the Near East, SW Asia and Korea, a number of strange undertakings are to be noted in other regions. For example, in ASEAN, Myanmar lengthens runways, builds her air force and cooperates overtly with the PLAN and Pakistani Navy to prepare for.... what? Meanwhile, the PRC builds superhighways and railroads leading to the frontiers with Laos and Myanmar, and, helps those nations to build additional connecting roads toward the south. To the East, the PRC island hops, illegally taking over one after another small island and islet in a slow burn march toward that critical choke point, the Strait of Malacca. Russia sells MiG-29s to Myanmar and sends nuclear technologists, who are joined by two escaping US scrutiny in Pakistan, for unknown programs.
8. More and more, the geopolitical behavior and treaty cheating of the "former Soviet bloc" comes to resemble that undertaken by the Bruning administration during the late 1920s and early 1930s. Meanwhile, that of the PRC simply comes to resemble that of the Third Reich.
To the tin pan critics hammering TheMilkMan's post - Is all of this not painfully obvious?
