1627831292585775104 | @zachsdorfman Carter ordered up more covert actions than Nixon and Ford combined, most aimed at undermining the Kremlin. The first president since Truman to use CA to try to overthrow the Soviets. The ops that kept Solidarity alive started under Carter. All that and then some. (H/T to Zbig.) | 1 |

1627892594561945601 | @zachsdorfman Also deeply involved in the post-Church/Pike committee negotiations to create today's congressional oversight mechanisms. Including, for better or worse, blocking some of the more extensive reporting requirements as infringements on presidential prerogatives. | 0 |

1625317562274705411 | @zachsdorfman I’m kind of curious about the length of time the 1st “balloon” was over the US. Saw it 8 days before it was shot down-AFTER it traversed basically the entire US. There’s a LOT of govt stuff out there that the general public knows nothing about… | 0 |
1625990380092022786 | @zachsdorfman And how defeatists the Russians really are. | 0 |
1626004312290734080 | @zachsdorfman @alexzfinley Keep in mind, prior to the invasion Russia’s population growth had plummeted to unsustainable levels, and the invasion has lead to the deaths of more than 100,000 irreplaceable males https://t.co/KxLfZzP7Yy | 0 |

1627128195467149312 | @zachsdorfman At the same time, look at his initial preferred book titles. Sometimes, listen to your editor.https://t.co/bZqPYgLEwr | 2 |
1627831150902226950 | @ghelt @zachsdorfman Did "we decide" that? It was my impression that Al Qaeda had something to do with it. When "we" supported them, the enemy was the U.S.S.R. Along the way, it became us... | 2 |
1627829685546627073 | @zachsdorfman Prior to becoming President he helped save Canada 🇨🇦 https://t.co/EJwHD4IPXV | 2 |
1627827125322489858 | @zachsdorfman What amazes me is that people have forgotten that he sent Zbig there to recruit for the mujahideen, telling them their cause was just and God was on their side — then 22 years later we decided anyone who ever trained in the camps we established was Al Qaeda. | 2 |
