The Soviet Union's military expenses amounted to 35 per cent of its
GNP (compared to 5.5 per cent in the United States and 2.5 per cent in
Sweden). The White House in Washington and Wall Street in New York
continued to support the Soviet system despite officially condemning
Moscow's invasion of Afghanistan. An agreement to develop Soviet
agriculture was signed as late as the 18th of June 1985. Young American
farmers were sent to the Soviet Union to train Russian kolkhoz functio-
naries. Modern technology was also delivered. (The International Herald
Tribune, 19th June 1985.) At the same time, Moscow sent aid to all the
other Communist countries. Nicaragua alone received 294 million dollars
during three years. Moscow sent 300 million dollars each month to
support the Communist regime in Kabul.
The Dismantling of the Soviet Union
Only one conclusion can be drawn from all of this: the United States of
America could have ruined the Soviet Union whenever they wanted to.
They would only have needed to stop delivering modern equipmenl.
Washington continued. The United States could have defeated the Vietna
mese Communists easily. But they did not want to. On the contrary
modern American war equipment was delivered to the Viet Cong. And
more than 58 000 young American men were sacrificed. All this served
the purposes of the financial elite (and the United States had the
opportunity to experiment with various bacteriological and chemical
weapons). The financial elite wanted to keep the Vietnam War going at
any cost. It was a perfect cover for the profitable narcotics trade,
according to Dr Alfred W. McCoy.
Several American researchers, including Richard Pipes of Harvard,
have pointed out that the Americans only needed to stop sending their aid
to overthrow the Communists in Moscow. Antony Sutton emphasised in a
lecture to the leadership of the Republican Party that this efficient weapon
had, for some reason, never been used. If the aid had been withdrawn, they
would have saved millions of people from the most terrible suffering and
furthered the cause of democracy.
The aid to the Soviet Union and its satellite states was concealed in
many different ways, mostly by loans at incredibly low interest rates. It
