https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RYAN https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RYAN The East could be just as mental - e.g. they were apparently convinced the first strike was coming because the lights were on in Whitehall later than usual (As you may have already guessed it was the cleaners)
- baybal2 6y agoAnd to anybody moderately knowledgeable of how the Union worked, and I mean people who lived there, it sounds more that RYAN was Andropow selling his political clientele the idea than it being purely a delusion, but who knows. The few hawks (the army was probably the most pacifist part of the system, ironically) in the Union's army were more happy to hear that a war, and demise are coming, and be reassured of their continued usefulness to the regime, than being stated the obvious fact that the country is more likely go belly up because of Union's permanent economic crisis getting ever more severe. To such people starting a war, and a collective suicide was preferable, and a more comfortable thing to think about, than to face the reality of the need to replace the political leadership, and this is the real insanity.
