While checking into the long-time US/Russian collusion I have this so far but apparently Germany must be included in this collusion as well. Collusion that has been going on for 7-8 DECADES.

US-Soviet Dartmouth Conferences

The Dartmouth Conference is the longest continuous bilateral dialogue between American and Soviet (now Russian) representatives.[1] The first Dartmouth Conference took place at Dartmouth College in 1961. Subsequent conferences were held through 1990. They were revived in 2014 and continue today.

The Best Enemy Money Can Buy

Antony C. Sutton

Dauphin Publications, Nov. 3, 2014 - 276 pages

With mountains of documentation, mostly from government and corporate sources, Sutton shows that Soviet military technology is heavily dependent on U.S. and allied gifts, "peaceful trade" and exchange programs. We've built for, sold or traded, or given outright to the Communists everything from copper wiring and military trucks to tank technology, missile guidance technology, computers - even the Space Shuttle. Peaceful trade is a myth … to the Soviets all trade is strategic. The paradox is that we spend $300 billion a year on a defense against an enemy we created and continue to keep in business. The deaf mute blindmen, as Lenin called them, are the multi-national businessmen who see no further than the next contract, who have their plants defended by Marxist troops (in Angola); who knowingly sell technology that comes back to kill and maim Americans.

Very scholarly, very well researched, and very thought provoking book. Supports the idea that the whole concept of the "Cold War" was just a propaganda campaign and fear tactic to distract the people of all nations from the continuous big business deals that were profitable for both the USA and the USSR during that era.

Perhaps the best-informed American scholar in the field of Soviet history

and overall strategy is Prof. Richard Pipes of Harvard University. In 1984, his chilling book

appeared, Survival Is Not Enough: Soviet Realities and America's Future (Simon &

Schuster). His book tells at least part of the story of the Soviet Union's reliance on Western

technology, including the infamous Kama River truck plant, which was built by the

Pullman- Swindell company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a subsidiary of M. W. Kellogg Co.

Prof. Pipes remarks that the bulk of the Soviet merchant marine, the largest in the world,

was built in foreign shipyards. He even tells the story (related in greater detail in this book)

of the Bryant Chucking Grinder Company of Springfield, Vermont, which sold the Soviet

Union the ball-bearing machines that alone made possible the targeting mechanism of

Soviet MIRV'ed ballistic missiles.
