As the USSR, we are one of the elite countries involved in the Cold War and will do what it takes as a nation to seek our interests. I, as a spy, have acquired prestigious documents that could advance our knowledge on the foreign enemy. I was able to slip one last document to my secret contact to send to Moscow, which will allow us to be more prepared for the war. However, I must explain why I have not sent 1 of 5 other documents that could have been of value. Allow me to elaborate. I was able to gain a copy of Klaus Fuch’s mugshot which was taken on Feb 3, 1950. Fuch was a German scientist involved in the development of the development of the atomic bomb. I did not send this back because he had already shared the information with our nation …show more content…
Robert Oppenheimer opposed the development of a hydrogen bomb. He was the lead scientist involved in the Manhattan project. Although he was stripped of all political power due to his beliefs, he continued to work in his field and was awarded the Enrico Fermi Award by the president a decade later. This was important because it showed how even the developers were scared of their technology and did want it to spread to the foreign countries. I did not include it because it was just another example of how the citizens were questioning their government and did not help us with our war efforts. Shortly before this very day, I managed to gain access to a copy of Harry Truman’s statement on Korea given on June 27, 1950. It summarizes how U.S. planned to aid the Korean government and how the Soviet’s presence was spreading around Asia. In this statement, Truman exclaims his concerns with communist aggression and expansion, while also stating his loyalty to the anti-communist nations in Asia. I did not return this document because we had already established ourselves in the northern region and their policy of aid would not affect our presence in this land. Finally, the last document I acquired on my mission was the White paper on China. This was a document which justified American intervention in China in order to save their weak empire from communist forces. I did not send this paper back besides it was another document where the U.S. was criticized for their failures and did not impact our success. Our forces have taken over China and the U.S. will be at a disadvantage regardless of this document being passed
