  1. Veterans signed secrecy contracts. Few know what remains secret and what could cause serious trouble, so they keep it all quiet. Hopefully some will have made voice recordings or even written memoirs.

  2. The Russian submarine that got tangled in fishing nets might have been sabotaged. More likely it was Soviet incompetence. In Ukraine today, Russian officers never admit to mistakes of any sort. Everything is always going well. Soviets were no different.

  3. Reagan’s strategy was correct. There was no working anti ballistic missile system. But he did have enough to scare Gorbachev with technology claims. Soviet hubris finished the USSR as a geopolitical power. The real mistakes came in the 1990s when Russia was left to its own devices and corruption, endemic in communist regimes, became the normal way of life. Putin trying to turn back the Soviet clock should be no surprise. But nobody wanted to know.
