Hello, I am Nikita Khrushchev, former Premier of the Soviet Union. You may remember my infamous statement: “You Americans are so gullible. We do not have to invade the United States; we will destroy you from within.” At the time, this was not merely a boast but a reflection of our strategic doctrine. It was never about direct confrontation—it was about ideological subversion, exploiting divisions, and eroding the societal fabric of our greatest rival.
In the 1950s and 60s, the world was locked in a Cold War, and the Soviet Union was committed to spreading communism not through war, but through influence. We studied your nation’s vulnerabilities: racial tensions, economic inequalities, and the growing counterculture. By targeting these divisions, our goal was to sow distrust in your institutions and weaken your resolve from the inside. We knew that a society divided against itself is easier to manipulate and control.
