>President Ronald Reagan signed a secret order in May 1982 that authorized an array of economic, diplomatic and covert measures to _destabilize the Government of Poland_ and begin to break the Soviet Union's dominance of Eastern Europe, Time magazine reported this week.
>The secret order, National Security Decision Directive 32, set in motion aid to the Solidarity movement, more vigorous promotion of human rights, economic pressure and diplomatic isolation of the Communist Government, the article said.
>The report in Time adds many new details, particularly the role of the Central Intelligence Agency and the Roman Catholic Church in opening networks across which telephones, fax machines, printing presses, photocopiers, computers and intelligence information moved to Solidarity.

- yucky 4y agoThis is a different argument though. You're making an argument about which system is better. I'm saying that Putin was telling the truth when he complained about the US interfering in their elections first, and our intelligence agencies were lying when they claimed we don't do the same thing we accused Russia of doing to us. So when Trump said he believed Putin in that instance, he was correct.
