Per @20committee, Soviet intel collected well but was ideologically biased, imagining US & capitalist evils that didn’t exist. The US once was better, but now is hobbled by ideology courtesy of Obama & Biden. Sovs were very good at influence operations, to our considerable cost.

My “Enemy Inside the Gates: Malign Soviet, Russian, and Chinese Influence Operations Against America” describes how the USSR & Communist Party USA penetrated 5 key parts of American society: education, press, law, family & religion. Most important are education & journalism.

My new book “Enemy Inside the Gates: Malign Soviet, Russian, and Chinese Influence Operations Against America” is published today. It examines foreign actors’ actions & those of their subversive American compatriots, starting in the 1920s. It will be controversial.
