"They used every trick in the book. As far back as 1956, they approached the NATO powers with a proposal to put all our air and ground forces out of Europe. A big, fair and square, one-for-you-and-one-for-me, buffer zone. They would return within their own borders. It sounded good, but the boys in Wahsington and London and Paris knew it was a trick. Satellite powers would be controlled by Moscow anyway. Neutral or weak countries could be easily subverted by Kremlin hoods."
