As much fun as it is to wade through the semi-literate ravings of the latest crop of trolls, it might be a good idea go go back to the OP.

Well, no. The story is that the Soviet Union simply fell apart from within and the Cold War ended because one side essentially vanished. There was no "negotiation" between the East and the West to end the war.

I'll bet this "committee" was so "secret" that there's no record of it anywhere so we only have PCR's assertion that it even existed. This post is nothing more than a plug for a new book by a guy that hangs out with Alex Jones and who gets nightly visitations from the shade of Andrew Breitbart.

So as usual with these mutts, it's not actually what it's pimped to be about. It's not about Rogers or Reagan or history or anything other than...just more right-wingnut carping about Obama. ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz........
