Came across this guy who had some interesting things to say way back when
about US military and corporate support for communist regimes and that the
cold war was fought not against the spread of communism. Does fit in well
with the ghost of Vietnam in GR and corporate cooperation beneath warring
nations.

'In 1973, Sutton published a popularized, condensed version of the three
volumes called *National Suicide: Military Aid to the Soviet Union* and was
thereby* <https://military.wikia.org/wiki/Military_Wiki:Citation_needed>*forced
out of the Hoover Institution. His conclusion from his research on the
issue was that the conflicts of the Cold War were "not fought to restrain
communism", since the United States, through financing the Soviet Union
"directly or indirectly armed both sides in at least Korea and Vietnam";
rather, these wars were organised in order "to generate multibillion-dollar
armaments contracts". The update to this text, *The Best Enemy Money Can
Buy*, looked at the role of technology transfers up to the 1980s.'
