Your readers often think in cycles.
I h...Professor<br />Your readers often think in cycles.<br /><br />I have been watching The Wilderness Years, and feel rather like a closet Churchill.<br /><br />"...Now, sadly, we are still waiting to hit bottom and begin to improve..." DK<br /><br />I offer this alternative model and dynamic, a la Winston: <br /><br />"A downward spiral is not a cycle, my friends. Far from it."<br /><br />Your pacifist comments, in the past recent years, and those about the unlikelihood of large scale war, because most powers had dispensed with their military budgets and personnel, smacks of the Hoare, Chamberlain, Baldwin position rather closely now, it seems to me. <br /><br />They thought Hitler was their stooge, much as American policy makers since long before the beginning of Pillsbury's career also have. <br /><br />Not that we are even in a position to do that much about it, compared even to what Britain did in the late 30s, but there it is.<br /><br />All the best<br />Bozonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18078858723231122013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8746692.post-15039190242949972072020-08-23T15:11:15.796-04:002020-08-23T15:11:15.796-04:00Professor:

...Professor:<br /><br />What a difference 80 years can make.<br /><br />Re Sylvia Ageloff, just going through a few books sitting around here.<br /><br />Here are a few references:<br /><br />The Sword and the Shield, The Mitrokin Archive and the Secret hiwtory of the KGB, p. 86; The Venona Secrets, p. 337-354; Ramon Merecador, Wikipedia<br /><br />Re Lend-Lease, it is useful to look at the role played by Hopkins, who ran it. See the above works on that subject as well. Index: Hopkins; Also, McJimsey, Harry Hopkins, Ally of the Poor and Defender of Democracy <br /><br />Andrew, above, tried, for whatever reasons, to deny that Hopkins was a Soviet agent. The evidence goes strongly the other way. <br /><br />All the bestBozonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18078858723231122013noreply@blogger.com
