Dawg the soviet archives are literally open, you can’t just say “the soviets were idiots and I think they’d do this, those dumb Russians”

And if anyone has proven how trustworthy they can be, it's the Russians.

Except I used the CIA doing something stupid and keeping it hidden as an example of 'don't assume it didn't happen just because it's stupid'

So...

What's weird is the implication that I somehow called Russia more stupid, and the odd moral outrage at that.
