-soviet summit in seven years, when the soviet delegation spent 75% of their time in very agitated nature about sdi. i remember taking aside pat buchanan who was then the director of white house communications and saying" pat, don't they understand, this is just a presidential speech. after 2 1/2 years after the president gave his speech on march 23rd, 1983, advocating sdi, the pentagon had done virtually nothing on it. it was just rhetoric. it was just presidential words. and i remember pat saying" don't tell them that. they think it's a real program that the pentagon has under way". similarly, sdi became a make or break issue at the next summit. our best summit. at reykjavik 25 years ago last month. on that historic sunday morning in october of 1986, we had negotiated -- after we had negotiated in the hofdi house from 8:00 at night until 6:20 in the morning, after i told president reagan in a secure bubble, the room within the room that for our top secret conversations at about 8:30 in the morning i said, "mr. president, we had accomplished more in the night before, previous evening, th

so paul i of the soviet sphere. there was a wonderful time when remember when brezhnev died, and they had a state funeral and then you had andropov and you had chernenko. carolyn, my wife, and i were very good friends with the italian ambassador at that time. we were over at his house, and he was telling us he was going to moscow for the funeral of i think it was chernenko. he really loved opera. i said to him, you're really going to the funeral? he says yes, ken. don't you understand? i bought tickets to the entire series. [ laughter ] >> likewise, i recall many hours wasted on cia overthinking gorbachev's economic programs. like that old story of horse meat in oklahoma, the more you chew the bigger it gets, on this the more i learned, the bigger my ignorance. with growing frustration, i decided to sit down one evening and actually read an entire gorbachev speech on the economy that was recently done. initially, i figured the translation must be awfully confused. then i realized it was gorbachev who was awfully con

bringing down the soviet system. well, as i mentioned earlier, there is a growing restoration of the soviets, i mean, not in the worst ways, systems in current russia, and this is what you have to bear in mind. the soviet intelligence have revived, and as i said earlier about the three pillars, well, of the old days, the three pillars are kgb as i said number one, russian orthodox church number two and russian business people who are willing to collaborate. if they do not, they are in london like mr. bear sovsky, mr. berezovsky, billionaire, met in washington one day years ago and he said how he picked up putin. he thought he would be, you know, kind of his sort of player, and he would manipulate, but he was wrong. putin had his own pride and dignity, and that would not work. well, another guy who would raise the voice was another man now in jail serving five or ten or seven. they always increase the number of years they are going to be in prison, and another guy, yeah, mr. guzinski who established russian independen

i mean one thousand nine percent sure that the soviet union would never have collapsed when the soviets . at the time he was appointed and through both look different from the other members of the politburo he was younger more energetic and had a high i.q. his work shuttle was filled with meetings but those closest to him knew that every day doctors used to connect to a kidney dialysis machine. but it was a cumbersome piece of equipment you know talk to colleagues were working on a miniature machine the size of a briefcase but. they did create something of that current in thing but regrettably it was too late for them to put it to use. after the collapse of the soviet union the newspaper proved to blame dr charles over and other kremlin doctors for the spate of soviet leaders deaths. when they are of treason king. it can only be surprising how many fatal contingencies the last soviet leaders had to collide with it would be interesting to know from their kind of mission chance of if the rapid health worsening of the soviet leaders would be a result of an outrageous incompetence of doctor

he said, well, you're a soviet i'm an american. i said, what's wrong, you said you're a socialist, you're a fake. i said, i'm sorry. he walked away. a week later i walk somewhere near columbia university campus. and i'm approached by a man in his late 40s or early 50s, i thought it was a p.i., he said, you are mr. kalugin. i said, yeah, what can i do for you. he said, listen don't touch my son. you tried to recruit my son. i said what are you talking about? i said, come on, leave me alone. i'll work with you. i said what do you mean? i will work for you, i know what you want. i said, okay, what can you do for us? i was young, inexperienced and later when i reported to moscow they said it was a fake, he was an fbi plant. i said, well, he looked sincere. he never had access to anything classified. but he was one of the most trusted agents in my time. he would do a lot of things. he would travel out of the country as an american. he would establish contact with lost sources, but he had a more important mission. in case the war was imm

so the first one was an analysis of the soviet system. the second was a prescription for the american system in response. so there really is two stages here both are equally important than he was influential in both. but in both cases, some of the old documents as the ones who spent the least amount of time on them that gets to the acts article, which was published anonymously. it was simply that stuff by george further purposes. the editor of foreign affairs heard him speak at the count on foreign relations or heard of him speaking more accurately at the council on foreign relations and said, do you have that in writing? george rummaged around and found something he had been writing and that became the article. all of this had not. all of us in public life at given togs and someone says you don't want to go to the trouble of writing down what she said, so you fumble around the files and send them there was the origin of the article, which became just as influential as the telegram. the to the intense frustration i've cannot come both bec

so, the first one was that analysis of the soviet system. the second one was a prescription for the american system in response, so there are two stages here and both are equally important, and he was influential in both, but in both cases some of them undocumented people read is the one that he spent the least amount of time on and that gets to the next article which was published in foreign affairs anonymously. it was simply dashed off by george for other purposes. the editor of foreign affairs to speak at the council on foreign relations heard of him speaking more accurately the council on foreign relations. and said to you have that in writing? and george rummaged around and found something that he had in writing and that became the ex article. all of us had done that. all of us who were in public life had given talks would go through the trouble of writing down what you said and the was the origin of the ex article which became just as influential as the long telegram, but to the intense frustration of kennan both because his identity w

whole existence of the soviet union in that sense. and i think it's fair to say as far as american foreign policy is concerned his ideas bracketed that whole period because it's a bundle mental idea of containment which is you can deal with this adversary without having a war and there was a third way. it seems to me that was the central idea of american foreign policy towards the soviet union throughout this period. what it meant specifically for me in this book was to explain why given the fact that his strategy was carried through by successive administrations over 45 years, why was he constantly so depressed and why was he constantly so critical of the performance of the united states and world affairs and of his own successors in policymaking positions? >> host: he does have a tendency as you document fairly extensively in your book, to personalize foreign-policy, you know for example as you write, he had a huge fondness for john f. kennedy arguably because kennedy was nice to him. he went out of his way. where is of course he's

each of the soviet union and the peoples republic of china accused the other of being bad communists and they became rivals for supremacy in the third world, for example, and so it was very unpleasant. by the end of the 1960s it was more than unpleasant, it actually had potential for a major conflict. soviets started moving troops out to the common borders and they moved bombers out which were capable of carrying nuclear warheads and there were armed clashes between soviet and chinese troops in 1969 and towards the end of 1969, the fall of 1969, there were rumors and well-founded rumors that the soviet union was contemplated a nuclear strike on china tokn a . >> did china have nuclear power? >> yes, they did. they exploded a nuclear bomb in 1964 but they didn't have nearly the means of delivery that the soviet union had. soviet union was much the greater military power, had left china very badly prepared to fight off a potential invasion. the armed forces occupied most of them in trying to keep order in the cities. and china was friendless and in a very dangerous position at the end

and that's the soviet union. and very complicated set of reasons why the soviets would want to do this. that's a whole other talk. but anyway, they're there. they send troops -- they send advisers more than troops. they send munitions. and they send an enormous kgb contingent. they help organize and train the various international brigades. this effort really impresses ernest in spain. he decides -- and he says this a few times, you can also find it in "for whom the bell tolls." he said the only way to win this war is by accepting communist or soviet discipline. he doesn't necessarily say he believes in communism or soviet russia, but he believes that the discipline that they imposed in spain was the only chance to win that war. now, ernest is wearing blinders when he is saying this because as time goes on, the spanish civil war, the soviets and the kgb are undermining the republic they're there to help. they steal all of the gold. they say, you know, give it to us for safekeeping. and we'll take the part we need

but such devices, the soviet union turned its neighboring states into satellites.s. in china, political action was cruder, but no less effective. here it was political action by congress. and so overwhelming as this political conquest had been that the communists had been able to propel red china to major influence in the eastern world. the political force method include the suppression of a cy un under communist rule. there was revolution without help from the outside. in east germany in 1953, poland in 1956. hungary in the same year. and tibet in 1959. all of them brutally suppressed. finally, there's the international communist party, dedicated to the overthrow of every still government. for the political method may not prevail, there's always the economic method. >> i'm frank mcgee. let's consider for a moment this matter of the communist use of economic methods to achieve conquest and how it's done. the present masters of the soviet union have said to us peaceful coexistence until we bury you. they propose to officiate that by catching up with us industrially

this was the soviet consulate. when i took this picture a few years ago, i was told it belonged so sinonom. i don't know who owns it now. that's where the russians had their base on west coast. and this man here was the chief target of the army and fbi counter intelligence. he introduced himself as mr. brown. his neighboring is gregory kheifeis. the russian has a great love of mythological code names. san francisco was babylon. new york was tire. washington, d.c., was karthage. if you remember your mythology, the boatman who ferried the soles across the river sticks to haiti. he had to find people that were sympathetic to the soviet cause and might be recruited. there was a recruitment effort or believed to be a recruitment effort between mr. brown and his successor. the poor individual in the mid sl martin cayman. he will later receive the award from the department of energy. but this picture basically end his career. he is fired after this picture is taken in 1944 because of his association with kheifeis. this is

, sino-soviet and it completely changed the way the dynamics of international politics went. >> and how did the drip itself, max and nick, change your minds? when you landed there, you were of one frame of mind. what frame of mind were you in when you left? >> well, when i left, i was still pinching myself. even in strange bubble that we were in, no contact with the chinese other than our own particular minders, we had spent our time talking about sort of the nuts and bos of a relationship to come, trade, travel, investment, legal issues, sports, culture, et cetera, et cetera. all of which ultimately became the relationship, after the triangular diplomacy came to an end. but my distinct memory, people ask me when i came back, what did you learn that you didn't know before? and i said, well, it's really silly for me to say this. but i came away with the impression -- strong impression that communism is a very thin veneer and that thisg with chin. i'd been dealing with chinese from hong kong, from taiwan, so on and so forth. but that these people that we were dealing with were chinese. an

and that's the soviet union. complicated reasons why the soviets didn't want to do this. that's a whole other talk. but they're there. they send advisers more than troops. they send ammunitions. and they send an enormous kgb contingent. they help organize and train the common turn, the various international brigades and this effort really impressing ernest in spain. he decides -- and he says this is few times. you can find it in for whom the bell tolls. but he says the only way we're going to win this war is by accepting communist or soviet discipline. he doesn't necessarily say he believes in communism or soviet russia, but he believes that the discipline that they imposed in spain was the only chance to win that war. now, ernest is wearing blinders when he's saying this because as time goes on in the spanish civil war, the soviets are ubds mining they're there to help. also they steal all of its gold. give it to us for safekeeping and we'll take the part we need to pay for the arms that we're sending you. but they take it all and stalin has a party when it gets to russi

had more missiles than the soviets.akes us to the moment when humankind first slipped free of earth's gravity. i believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth. 1961: u.s. scientists are in a no-holds-barred race to beat the soviet union to the moon. first, they must break free of earth's gravity. in april of 1961, the soviets launched a man into space, marking the first time that humankind has experienced complete weightlessness. but no one knows what prolonged exposure to weightlessness will do to the human body. president kennedy's promise means there's no time to lose. engineers must invent ways to overcome the challenges of living in zero-g. fifty years later, chris radus of lucas, kentucky, thinks he owns a prototype of one of the space-age inventions that helped man travel to the moon. when my dad brought this boot home from work and i asked him what it was, he told me he couldn't tell me but we'd f

i never saw it in the soviet union. if these people are turning loose, watch out. >> so mike, watching this hour, you see very early sort of the beginnings of this cat and mouse game between the press and the chinese government which continues in different ways. this must have been rather familiar territory for you. >> i first went to china in 1973. the cat and mouse part of it and the -- you get to see the show commune and the -- i went to a hospital on my 73rd trip and we saw the accupuncture and anesthesia. this was the first big exposure of that kind of very tightly controlled showcase tourism that became the main stay of what a lot of what they did. part of the story is this interaction with the system and this pushing and pushing and pushing back and in fairness in many ways it's night and day. today for all of the problems. i think the quote and they had no idea what would hit them. they never have and all the most powerful people. the collection of nixon and people like william f buckley. significant figures wan

soviet products of every distinction are awaiting delivery and reaching industrially backward areas of the noncommunist world. teams of russian technicians are available to operate this machinery. this is economic penetration, paving the way for political takeover. that band of soviet friendship which usually precedes an attempt as economic penetration has been reaching into every part of the world which shows the slightest inclination to receive it. recently we saw it extend into our own hemisphere, turbulent cuba where it was embraced as "a triumph of soviet policy." a few statistics will demonstrate how steers this threat is becoming to the free world. of the entire annual soviet economic capability, their gross national product, 70% or it may run as high as 80%, is devoted to the area of heavy industry. the u.s. and free world share of gross national product devoted to the same area is certainly not much more than 20%. in terms of volume applied to this area of gross national product, the soviet union is begibing to surge ahead. finally, the communist attempt ideological penetratio

they get soviet migs soviet ground offensive and have a dangerous air defense network against the united states. the ground war though dealing with this is the most -- arguably the most important purposes here. they have to figure out how to fight this ground war against the united states. again, the north, the generals and the political leaders in north vietnam, they don't agree about how to do this. they follow the two camps here. you have the duan ton block. they argue you have to match american escalation and fight hard the whole time. you have to do this hoping you can push the south vietnamese regime over the edge. they also wanted to increasingly commit them to the south. they wanted to go to phase 3 very, very quickly here. general jopp, he has a different view. he's the head of the army, but he wants a slower approach. he argued, stay in phase 2, protract the war, drag it out. the u.s. will get tired and leave anyway. it can be bloody. let's be a little bit more public. jopp loses the argument. in july of 1965 jopp launches an operation trying to cut south vietnam in half. he mo

they like a regime they stayed silent over the question of human rights as they have done with the soviet region so you have a regime and indeed back when we don't hear any condemnation from hillary clinton or david cameron. coming up. accommodation prices go through the roof in ukraine because european championship draws closer to looking to cash in on fans but it's fear moving the goalposts will send crowds packing instead also. one by one cities around the world go dark for global earth hour this year we've got some surprising new comers including the international space station one that happened. still to come people first china has lashed out at the u.s. over its decision to plow ahead with sanctions against countries that keep buying iranian oil beijing's as washington has no right to take it upon itself to punish other nations the west wants to strangle iranian oil trade in an attempt to make the country abandon its nuclear program under the new restrictions become a de force in june and the foreign banks doing all related deals with iran would be cut off from america's financial s

the soviets -- the russians today do not believe that. so they think that their nuclear weapons and lots of them are what allow them to maintain their security. so the single biggest practical problem i think to getting down from where we are now, several,000, down to several hundred, is overcoming the russian resistance. that due to the very symmetry between ourselves and the security today. >> phillip, bill said something very important. it's not simply the numbers. i think we pay sometimes too much attention to the numbers. we need to make nuclear weapons less relevant in our own plans and so do the russians. and we need to find ways to do that together. it's also important that whatever number you have, are secure. bill said that. you don't want to put all your weapons in one pile and have them vulnerable. you've got to have survivability. you don't want to tempt someone to go first. we need to find ways and broad concepts so neither russia nor the united states believes we're going to be subject to a decapitation attack. we don't wan

and as a result the soviets stewed. they grieved and the grumbled. and then reagan win over in 1985 to berlin where was the berlin wall. he made a great speech. he had made friends with gorbachev, he thought. he thought that they talked to each other. he still was determined, at this speech, his own state department was horrified that he would say such a thing. he got up and pointed and said, mr. gorbachev, if you want peace in the world tear down this wall . and the german-speaking, oh, mr. gorbachev, on the other side of the wall, ray is going to be gone tomorrow. everybody was stunned. but suddenly this became -- the german people on both sides of the wall. and gorbachev new committee was having truck -- cavan problems. he started easing control. these controls. the people took power. suddenly saw the whole eastern bloc of the soviet union began to crumble. reagan was out of office by this point by about a year. he started this, i think. you could make the case for one single individual who brought soviet communism in the east down it would be ron

i got new information after the collapse of the soviet union in one hundred ninety one above all how fast our country moved you know to stay and find a replacement enemy to keep the military industrial complex functioning to serve the vested interests in the cold war system i was appalled by this i believe that we should have had after the collapse of the soviet union and eliminated any basis for this global apparatus there was no further reason for it it was irrelevant. instead they moved at once to find another enemy china. terrorism. drug lords even instability anything to keep it going we need an enemy it's like we were a football team and we'll be in prophecy to play a game we learn certain plays and now we don't have any opponents no how can we play this game anymore and so they needed a new enemy and a new enemy will for a while there was drugs we had a war on drugs we then became terrorism and that was a very good substitute in the minds of our leaders sometimes her brain a big think sometimes they're afraid a very little one but not of something else about you know that i do
