Natureboi: “Sounds like the Soviets got to spend Christmas at home fucking their girlfriends while the Americans did some gay B.S. in the Arctic that must have been really important considering the Cold War lasted several more decades.”

Hawaii and American Samoa are US territory. The North Pole was not Soviet territory. Besides, it’s not like we or the Soviets got our knickers in a twist about territorial integrity back in 1969, if you could get away with it. It was a much more masculine world back then, on both our side and theirs.

“Those icy islands would be beyond the ordinary 12 mile limit is recognized by international law …”

So Hawaii and American Samoa are not US territory, being far beyond 12 miles from the Continental US??

Those icy islands would be beyond the ordinary 12 mile limit is recognized by international law so American civilian CIA personnel arriving there would not have been in violation of sovereign Soviet territory it would legally be allowed to be there

They should not have remove the listening devices they should have put false listening devices there and send out deception signals to deceive the Soviet

“The men were recovered by being snatched up into a low flying aircraft.”

You set up two poles something like 30 ft apart, and string an elastic line between them that is hooked up to a harness you are wearing. The slow-moving (100 knots?) transport aircraft tries to snag the line between the post, and reel you in.
