OK, I have a proposal:
- right now the USA will stop their policy of not delivering computers to
  the SU;
- they will offer say 50 VAXen for installation on their universities and
  highschools;
- an equal number of autodiallers will come with those machines (perhaps
  the European electronics industry may drop in here);
- Bell Labs will provide them with Unix(tm), including uucp AND news;
- as for other European countries, mcvax will act as the gateway between
  the SU net and the USA net.

After all, isn't it by virtue of computers that this whole network exists?
And drop you silly arguments that they will use them only for military
puposes. Or are you so naive to believe that they can't make weapons/
missile control systems of their own?
