"The American people are not--I repeat--not going to tolerate intimidation, terror, and outright acts of war against this nation and its people. And we're especially not going to tolerate these attacks from outlaw states run by the strangest collection of misfits, loony tunes, and squalid criminals since the advent of the Third Reich." - President Ronald Reagan, Remarks at the Annual Convention of the American Bar Association, July 8, 1985.

Reagan: The Great Communicator.

I have started a new collection of the A/C pics, much to Mrs alfa6's chagrin. That's where the pic came from.

Aye, you should see it full sized, carumba. I reduced it 60% IIRC. It helps to have a long lens, I would think, eh.

Have a great day

Regards

Thanks Sam for this last installment of the Cold War Series. The world was blessed to have Reagan. What a wonderful time this was to see so many people gain their freedom.

Very interesting story. I was not familiar with it at all. Which surprised me.

"Suvorov" talks about GRU "shopping lists" from this era and later. He was involved in several such projects and developed technology informants, Americans, unfortunately. The GRU would send busloads of agents to defense trade shows. Literally busloads. Seventy, a hundred men. A bus set up as a command center with commander and staff, radio network control, analysts, crypto clerks, the works. Right out in the open.

Those GRU foreign service people were the best men the Russians produced. Fantastic, amazing educations. Not just very high IQ but curious, active, competitive, and hard working. This last is a huge understatement.

Personally never met any GRU people. One KGB operator once, here in the USA. His English is more convincing than mine is. He read me for what I am with one glance. The Comrades left when I came around after that.

Putin comes from a very rigorous school.
