A long article, but an enthralling read.
Some money quotes:
GORBACHEV in meeting with Syria's Hafez ASSAD.
"The Soviet Union, given the capabilities it has, is also prepared to contribute to the unification of the Arab ranks. Of course, our enemies won’t miss the opportunity to present our honest efforts as “Moscow’s conspiracy,” so we should act accurately and carefully. In any case, you can count on our support...A success of this cause would be a great historic victory with tremendous consequences."
Stroilov, on Soviet aspirations for Israel.
"Though not as good as the Gulf oil fields, Israel would also be a big prize. It was the only democracy in the region, the strongest military power in the pro-Western camp and, indeed, the bridgehead of the Western world. Even more importantly, the very process of crusading (or jihadding) against Israel offered fantastic political opportunities. A besieged Israel effectively meant millions of Jewish hostages in the hands of the comrades, and the threat of genocide could intimidate the West into making great concessions in the Gulf or elsewhere. On the other hand, by making the Israeli-Palestinian conflict the central problem of the Middle East, the Soviets could exploit Arab nationalism, anti-Semitism, and even Islamic religious feelings to mobilize support for their policies. Indeed, under the banner of Arab solidarity, the socialist influence in the region grew far beyond the socialist regimes and parties."
The code-name for this operation against Israel, according to Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa, the highest-ranking defector from the Soviet Bloc, was “SIG”—Sionistskiye Gosudarstva, or “Zionist Governments.”
Disinformation nonsense. The oBamamroid regime is the evil behind ‘arab spring’ and HRclinton. Now they spew a shaft of lies trying to change the truth which indicts them.
Yes, the Soviet Union and its globalist, Marxist ideology, was an aggressive, evil empire.
Thank God it collapsed 27 years ago.
Brennan has his henchfiends hard at work still.
The Soviets also armed Arab states and fomented the Six Day War. They lament the fall of their evil empire to this day and put their highest hopes of incrementally conquering the world in another rise of the same empire with a bit of a fascist twist and a different name. It’s their mind. They think differently.
It all started with T.E. Lawrence.
