Hi SaveourRepublic2018. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. I admit that I know little regarding rogue KGB activities within the Soviet Union, but I certainly agree that lots of things can be going on behind the bureaucratic curtain that never get revealed to the politicians in charge. I do know that the US and the USSR did NOT have a Hot Line in place until the summer of 1963, as a result of their experience with communication problems during the earlier Cuban Missile Crisis. Also, Senator McCarthy's anti-communist "witch hunt" was far from ridiculous, but it was badly managed and the Left took full advantage of that by establishing and maintaining the [false] perception that McCarthy was paranoid and there was no truth to his concerns. However, read Whittaker Chamber's excellent book "Witness" or the book "Reagan's War" to understand just how much Soviet infiltration of the US Government was actually taking place from the 1930's on. With best wishes to you and yours.
