The U.S. government played an important role in the disintegration of the Soviet Union. According to peter schwartz, the author of "Victory-the Secret Strategy of the American Government to the Soviet Union" and a former employee of the US Central Intelligence Agency, the Reagan administration of the United States planned to bring down the state system of the Soviet Union as early as the 1980s. Due to the incompetence of the upper echelons of the Soviet Union, including the national security agencies, the premeditated plan of the United States was successful.
Four dignitaries with ulterior motives tried to change the Soviet system.
The Russian Independent published an article by Schwartz in 1996. According to Schwartz’s materials, this action in the United States began in the spring of 1981 and lasted until the end of 1986, a total of a little more than five years. This action was carried out behind the back of the public, the government and the Congress. Because this plan "goes beyond the scope of the current policy". The planning of this plan comes from a few senior American officials-US President Ronald Reagan, Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) william casey, National Security Adviser Richard allen, and Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberg.
William casey
Schwartz’s book was written in conversation with activists involved in formulating strategic details at that time, which is also the value of this book. Please listen to what the relevant personnel said when proposing and deciding the task at that time: "Kathy, Allen and Weinberg, with the support of the President, decided to challenge the Soviet Union … We think the Yalta meeting is invalid."
Richard Pappus, a historian at Harvard University, drafted Reagan’s latest American strategy against the Soviet Union, code-named NSDD-75. This strategy shows a "revolutionary turning point" in American policy. "The strategy clearly states that our current goal is not to coexist with the Soviet Union, but to change the system of the Soviet Union. The strategy confirms that we are fully capable of changing the Soviet system with external pressure. "
The four men put forward the goal and began to seek the means to achieve it.
CIA: Give communist party people a hard time.
The way to destroy the Soviet Union was simple, although it was illegal according to the standards of the United States at that time: "It is the purpose of the United States to shake the Soviet system by taking advantage of the weaknesses within the Soviet Union." To this end, the United States launched a special action to involve the Soviet Union in two acute crises-the Polish crisis and the Afghan war by giving material and political support to the resistance forces.
William casey, director of the Central Intelligence Agency, said in a meeting with the leadership of the Central Intelligence Agency: "Let’s give communist party people a hard look. We want them to bleed. Their officers’ sons will be sent home in zinc coffins. It’s these people we’re aiming at-it’s a trick. "
The direct task of the United States is not to defeat the Soviet Union militarily, but to "make Moscow surrender for fear that the war will be transferred to Soviet territory". This is the reality. It is not difficult to find that what they want to shake directly is not the Soviet system or the Soviet society. The goal of the United States is to shake the will of those in power and their protectors; The focus of the attack is the core institutions that analyze intelligence and decision-making, as well as the behavior of the enemy. Kathy guessed right, this is the weakness of the Soviet Union.
Reagan’s joke: I decided to declare war on the Soviet Union.
The new president of the United States launched a psychological pressure movement in the first few months of his re-election. Code name: "Reagan-the awesome cowboy". "The purpose of the movement is to influence the Kremlin’s thinking and make them concentrate on military defense … From a strategic point of view, the image of the cowboy is very suitable." For the Soviet Politburo, Reagan played the role of a geopolitical hooligan. The old actor played this easy role brilliantly: the bad boy in the East was threatened and turned his cannon around, while the good boy secretly put the lit cigarette under the fire hydrant. As a result, the water sprayed from the ceiling, and the cannon became a drowned rat, and it couldn’t sound …
Reagan made an unforgettable joke on live TV: "Gentlemen, I have decided to declare war on the Soviet Union … The nuclear attack will begin in three minutes".
Reagan’s joke on TV really shocked the Politburo of the Soviet Union, so that the best Soviet reconnaissance agency in the world turned to collect information about what seemed to be an inevitable Armageddon. When the scouts fumbled for the signs of "America’s first nuclear strike", "the CIA and the Pentagon threw out a false secret plan, the purpose of which was to bring down the Soviet economy. In short, we caused great confusion to the Soviet Union. "
American economic attack on the Soviet Union
Reagan was not interested in whether the Soviet Union had vitality objectively. His goal was to reduce this vitality to zero.
On the day of Brezhnev’s death, the anti-Soviet economic war began. The instruction code is: NSDD-66. Henry Ron, Reagan’s Soviet economic adviser, said: "We should have high-level military equipment that makes Moscow want to catch up with us. At the same time, we stop supplying them with the materials necessary for their survival, and we will see how the Soviet system collapses in these 10 years. "
The United States made an analysis of the price paid by the Soviet Union for its own purposes. Price, in its original meaning, is hard currency. For the Soviet Union, oil and natural gas are the main sources of income dollars. So the following tasks were put forward:
Weaken the Soviet Union’s ability to sell energy carriers at high prices.
Weaken the Soviet Union’s ability to buy or steal western technology.
Reagan’s men made great efforts to cut off the two sources of foreign exchange in the Soviet Union, cut off the designed oil pipeline and lower the oil price. They persuaded Saudi Arabia to lift the restrictions on oil exploitation by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. In 1985, their efforts brought decisive results: Saudi Arabia put oil beyond the previous quota on the market, the price dropped by half, and the Soviet Union lost all its money.
The Kremlin paid a heavy price.
Schwartz expounded the policy of the United States in reform as follows: "After 1985, the United States not only wanted to annoy the Soviet Union, but also wanted to win and move the war in Afghanistan to the Soviet Union." However, in the usual fatalistic sense, this is not a "conspiracy" because it is well known in Moscow. The book says, "They have their own intelligence personnel. When planning the operation, we bet that Moscow can guess what we are doing. Moscow was angry and threatened, but it did not reach the step of changing its policy. "
An expert and one of the KGB leaders, General Fedot Bobkov, confirmed this. "Do we know all these things? Of course I know. In fact, the leaders of the Soviet national security organs, the party and the government all know the atomic attack plan. Know the plans of American intelligence agencies and other secret services aimed at overthrowing the Soviet system. "
The KGB knows everything, but, concluded Zwaz, "The KGB doesn’t know what all this means."
Schwartz pointed out: "The war cost the Kremlin 4 billion dollars and thousands of young lives every year." This kind of confusion in human technology has caused injuries and disabilities. Today, Eurasia is in turmoil, which shows that Kathy’s whole set of practices are still working, killing each other and fighting each other.
