The KGB defector Golitsyn said that the collapse of the Soviet Union was an act of strategic deception. The goal was to remove U.S. vigilance, and to get us to slash our defense budget. Meanwhile, they would prepare for ultimate victory.
Now that those stated goals have largely been accomplished, it looks like they're preparing to "bury" us again.
Consensus about Golitsyn was that he was a screwball, and anyone that believed him was paranoid.
Some years back, a high level KGB defector named Golitsyn published a book saying that the collapse of the Soviet Union was a strategic deception. The goal was to cause us to cease regarding them as a threat. This would enable them to surpass us militarily.
He was regarded as a crank at the time.
This news makes his analysis seem increasingly credible.
A number of years ago, a high ranking KGB defector published a book stating that the collapse of the Soviet Union was a sham. The purpose of the sham was to enable them to build their military power and assets, while America's attention was diverted elsewhere. Peaceful coexistence was never their goal.

Really, the problem in europe is a vicious, hard left press that makes U.S. MSM look fair. Most people here are unaware that arafat stole billions, or of the U.N. oil for food scandal, or anything else. It's simply not reported here.
About the German... I'm beginning to think the main reason government and press target Israel here is because they know the populace hates Jews, and it distracts them from all the stealing going on in Brussels. You could call Jew-hatred the opium of the masses here.
