>>12845529The issue with Russia is that the communists never left power. KGB defector Anatoly Golitsyn predicted in the 1960s that this would happen. Read his book "New Lies For Old". The CIA refused to believe his claims at the time.
In the 1960s Golitsyn predicted:
China and Russia would have a fake dispute but remain secretly allies throughout (Sino-Soviet Split), this was to weaken the West and facilitate the rise of China.
The Berlin Wall would fall and Germany would be reunified. Russia would withdraw voluntarily from Germany in exchange of a "unified, neutral Europe", pulling it away from American influence.
Dissidents would be released, controlled opposition parties would be created, and a fake "democratization" would take place in Russia. Capitalism would be reintroduced.
Arms controls treaties would be signed. Nukes would ostensibly be destroyed. But underground nuke production would continue.
Once its guard was down, the West would be infiltrated by sleeper agents and communists in sheep's clothing. The war would be one of soft power and ideological influence rather than militarily.
And other incredible predictions that all came true.
