of on june 8th, 1967, news spreads around the world, which wasn't easy to believe, unknown attackers target a us military ship in the mediterranean sea after world war ii, this was the first time someone had dared to attack the us military.

april 30th, 1945, when an all-out rivalry broke out between the western allies and the ussr to conquer berlin, soldiers of the red army reach the heart of nazi germany sooner than the americans, with the fall of the city and... hitler committing suicide, the flames

of the horrendous second war in europe burnt out. with all the death and destruction, as world war ii was coming to an end, the two powerful conquerors could raise their flags on the mountain. of soil and ashes and reorganize world order the way they wanted to. the eastern powerhouse was the ussr, which had the dream of spreading the ideals of communism and saving the masses of the labor force from the oppression of capitalists, and on the other side, the wealthy western powerhouse, meaning the us was... standing on

the principles of using capital to create welfare. in the post war modern era, both rivals tried very hard to win the competition and defeat their tenacious opponent. it was an all-out rivalry which wasn't very friendly at all. in arms race, the strengthening of military forces and economies and many other issues had created a battlefield between the two poles, which later became known as the cold war. it was a time when the east and west would on the surface shake the hands of friendship, but in secret point their weapons at each other. the cold war and all its fears and features took the us and ussr to the brink of war a number of occasions, but under

the shadows of a scary invention, it never turned into an actual armed conflict, it was a dark clouds of nuclear fision and the devastating shadow of the atomic bomb which kept the... of course, the ussr had to some extent succeeded, and communism was rapidly spreading around the world. many big and

small countries added the red star of communism to their flag and stood with the eastern camp. communist ideology was rapidly spreading to weaker countries and the formidable rival of the ussr had to do something to solve this problem. the us wasn't ideally sitting by either, with

truman's four-point program and kennedy's peace core, it tried to neutralize the ussr's plans. this call will be pool of trained men and women. sent overseas by the united states government or through private institutions and organizations to help foreign countries meet their urgent needs for skilled manpower. we will send americans abroad who are qualified to do a job. it will not be easy. none of the men and women will be paid a salary. they will live at the same level as the citizens of the country which they are send to, doing the same work, eating the same food. speaking the same language, we're going to put particular emphasis on those men and women who have skills in teaching, agriculture and in health. the fact is, the

us wanted to create structural transformation and elevate welfare levels in weaker countries to create a block against the propaganda of the communists. back then, the us had no bigger goal than combatting communism, so it did everything it could to win the hearts of the countries in need and remind them that the country that is truly worried about global welfare is the us, not the soviet union. but the battle of the cold war powerhouses, like any other complicated game, had hidden. layers which made the battle hotter and hotter. a time like this, the center of gravity, when it comes to global politics and energy, meaning the middle east, wasn't spared of the game of choosing sides between the east and the west.

the region has always been the battleground for global powers. the ussr got to the middle east sooner than its rival and had one over the hearts of arab leaders. the prime minister of the ussr was ally of gama abdul nasir, egypt's second president. with the help of abdul nasir's influence among arabs in the region, the soviets wanted to change the... color of the map of the middle east into the red communist star. the soviets knew that the entrance gate of the arab world was egypt and abdul nasir, by raising the ideology of pan-arabism to unite the arab race and of course his constant quarals with its unwanted neighbor israel, naser had become the hero of arabs. when egypt at the forefronts of the arab world showed communism the green light, syria also lean towards a us. syria had recently united with egypt and established the united arab republic. a short

while later, in may 1967, anwar sadat, the speaker of the national assembly of egypt went to moscow to meet with soviet prime minister alexe kosijen. that's where he was told that america's friend, meaning israel, had gathered a large number of its forces on the syrian border and the threat of. israeli attack on the united arab republic was serious. the communists were forced to give this mischievous news to egypt because they thought that military confrontation between the allies of the east and the west in the middle east would lead to the victory of the eastern block. we believed a war could bring us political gains. even a stalemate. egypt had our backing, both political and military,

we thought their forces would demonstrate the benefits of soviet support, so we were confident that the balance of power in the middle east would be altered by localized war. when received word that israel forces had a mass. on the syrian border, he wasted no time. he immediately wrote to the un and asked the organization to withdraw its peacekeeping forces which had been stationed on the border of the neighboring countries from the previous war between egypt and israel. naser wanted to fill up the entire border egypt had with this unwanted neighbor with his own military forces. it seemed the soviet's plot for. war between the ideologies the east and the west in the middle east had really worked. noser took a further step that

putting his forces on standby and shut down the strategic straights of tiran in the gulf of akaba. the straights of tiran were the only waterway access israel had with the eastern part of the world. the only passage way for the israelis to import fuel had been shut down to the zinus and with this war became inevitable.

the ussr wanted to prove its friendship to egypt and of course not be left behind from its rival, the us, in equipping its allies in the intelligence field, so it got to work and laid cables on the seabed from the ussr to egypt, the purpose was to be able to whisper in the ears of the egyptians anytime it wanted. when the ussr realized that it's too late and the war will inevitably happen, sooner or later, it ordered its naval forces in the black sea to move closer to egypt's shores. based on this order, 20 soviet warships sailed to the east of the mediterranean and were put on standby position. the ussr didn't want to leave its arab allies alone in the war against israel, but on the other... front, the us ordered its sixth fleet base in the mediterranean to pull back from at least 100 miles from the danger

zone, but one of the ships in the sixth fleet didn't receive the order, as the entire fleet was pulling back, the uss liberty had received orders to get closer to the sinai shores. the liberty was an unarmed naval ship with 45 powerful ease dropping antennas, tens of advanced data processing and information analysis devices. with language experts and professional analysis who were used to listen in on radio communications. "the liberty was getting closer to the crisis region to listen in on what was happening. if it was broadcast a radio wave, we could receive it any frequency, low frequency, high frequency, medium frequency, very low frequency. if it

was out there we could receive it. if we were listening and we we heard a signal and when we looked at it we..." couldn't understand it, it was encrypted as well, we'd send it back to nsa and let them hit it with their computers. the liberty's confidential messages were radio to the nsa, the u.s.'s top secret intelligence agency for the analysis and data processing of electric intelligence. on may 22nd, 1967 and before the beginning of new mission in the mediterranean sea, had slowly and steadily left the norfolk port in the uk for the guinney gulf and abijan port in the western shores of africa. its mission in this beautiful port in the country of the ivory coast was to listen in and find out whether things were going according to the u.s.'s liking or not.

we were sent around the world wherever there might be hot spot to see if we could determine what was going on and if the united states. desired any intervention of any sort. the liberty was leaving abijan port as israeli forces were in military position and getting ready for action. of course, the egyptians were based in the sinai desert before them. the israelis preferred for the issue to resolve without military action, because they weren't ready to fight, and on two different fronts, from the southwest with

egypt and the north and east with syria and jordan. i've been asked by my government to uh explore what these governments intend to do in order to reopen this international waterway to a situation united states to do sir, well i've come here really to find out what the united states intends. do us president lindon johnson asked israel not to start the war, this is exactly the same thing the ussr told his arab ally egypt to do, but egypt had already taken the first step by closing the straights of tidon on israeli ships, things really got bad when other arabs joined hands with abdul nasir and allied themselves with him in destroying

israel. king hussein of jordan was a... first assign a joint defensive alliance with nasir and put his army under his orders. king faisel of saudi arabia also went to meet with nasa and pledge him his support. the us wanted to know what secrets about the inevitable war in the middle east, the ussr was whispering in the ears of the egyptians any cost. all these events were happening as

the liberty was in the mediterranean and had reached the rota naval station. in spain so it could add three experts in russian and arabic to its crew. in the israeli camp, the situation was in crisis mode, egypt from the west, jordan from the east and syria from the north are on standby awaiting orders from abdul nasir to finish israel off. levikol, the israeli prime minister, thought of a surprise attack as the only way to end the crisis. and informed his new defense minister, moshed dayan of his opinion, june 5th, 1967 was chosen as the day to attack the arabs.

june 5th, 7 in the morning, 180 israeli fighter jets flew towards egypt, only 12 fighter jets were left behind to defend the israeli skies. 45 minutes later, egypt's military airport runways were bombed and 280 egyptian military jets on the ground were the targets of israeli rockets. the egyptians were so overwhelmingly surprised that they didn't even find the time to start their jet engines.
