(Orig­i­nal­ly Broad­cast March 1991)

This pro­gram ana­lyzes the Per­sian Gulf War, U.S. covert action in the Sovi­et Union and East­ern Europe and Rea­gan-Bush defense and for­eign poli­cies as coor­di­nat­ed ele­ments of a strat­e­gy to pres­sure and desta­bi­lize Rus­sia. The broad­cast focus­es on Amer­i­can pro­mo­tion of resur­gent fas­cist ele­ments in that part of the world and the pos­si­bil­i­ty that the Amer­i­can strat­e­gy might result in a return of the Cold War or the start of a third world war.
