I completely agree. That was put on full display during the McCarthy Hearings in the 1950's, very Soviet Union-esque. Plus, who knows how much of an advancement the USSR could have made after the late 50's, Krushchev practically let the cat out of the bag in '64, its a miracle they lasted as long as they did. And we knew that, but admitting that wouldn't have allowed us to use the potential of war as a reason to bankrupt our future via military spending.

As for the article, was it a good use of pictures? Haha
