Russian advisers were everywhere in the country helping the US leaderships through the transition while American militant students organized into revolutionary cells that provided the right formulae for a thriller that keep you at the edge of your seats. The irony of all ironies that nobody even dreamed about is the switching of the plot that became a reality; Russia today became what USA used to be. Although it was a fiction; nobody expected it to become a veiled reality except that there are no American patriots fighting the evils of their government. There are no thrills; only frailties in today’s USA.
