A quick quote from p. 260 of Kluckhohn's 1962 book The Naked Rise of Communism


Business in Britain, Canada and the United States and other free nations must realize that it is trading to destroy itself. In any case, the U.S. government should halt all trade with the Soviet Union, Red China and the Red satellite nations. We can politely and firmly tell our Allies that they will get no help from us, and no backing, if they do not cease this trading. Our poor diplomatic poker players have been euchred into making one concessoin after another on industrial trade items and, in their eagerness to please, are prepared to make more the moment no one is looking.

The story is told that two Russian Communists were talking. "The United States?" said one, "Bah! We have 10,000 little nuclear bombs. We put them in suitcases and carry them into the United States. And poof, we blow it up." "Wonderful," said the other Russian, "Why aren't we doing it?" "Because," was the mournful reply, "we don't have the suitcases."

"The suitcase thing rings sort of weird nearly 40 years later, no?"

You must feel haunted by this quote now! Great article on another elephant under the livingroom carpet...another "keeper". It was interesting reading it from the postings back up to the actual article...cinematography for the mind!
