Gorbachev's "Grand Bargain"
A Choice Between The
Cold War And Nuclear Blackmail
"If perestroika fails, the prospect of entering a new peaceful period in history will vanish"
. . . Mikhail Gorbechev
Even the Washington Post has begun to understand that liberalism's "Golden Boy" Gorby is a smiling predator. According to Post writer Michael Dobbs, Time magazine's Man of the decade is "seeking to confront his hosts with a stark choice: sink billions of dollars in the Soviet Union or risk the return of the Cold War".
One simple question will easily silence liberal skeptics who deny that Gorbachev's "grand bargain" multi‑billion dollar bail‑out scheme is little more than a thinly‑veiled blackmail attempt: "Would the debt‑ridden U.S. seriously consider dumping tens of billions of dollars into the black hole of the Soviet economy were it not for the Kremlin's five‑to‑one advantage in offensive nuclear weaponry?" The appointment of BOB STRAUSS (a leading bastion of the Democrat party) as Ambassador to the Soviet Union is a strong indication that the Bush Administration intends to seriously consider Gorbachev's demands for a "grand bargain." Strauss, a consummate deal‑maker respected by the leadership of both patties, is one of the few Washington insiders with enough Congressional clout to override conservative opposition to a massive "save the West from Soviet instability" aid package. Consider recent threats (unreported, of course) made by Soviet militarists that has official Washington nervously preparing a Kremlin bail‑out.
