Gorbachev said in November, 1987:
“Gentleman, Comrades, do not be concerned about all you hear about glasnost and perestroika and democracy in the coming years. These are primarily for outward consumption.
There will be no significant internal change within the Soviet-Union, other than for cosmetic purposes. Our purpose is to disarm the Americans and let them fall asleep.”
Obama cancels the missile shield, the F-22, and many other defense cuts. And, uh, er, oh, let's get rid of our Nukes too. That would send a definite message of Peace and maybe I'll get a second Nobel Peace Prize. I'll be famous as the appeasement President that brought Peace to the World!
Sounds like we're following the Kremlin playbook. A very dangerous path. So, now what?
