A couple of especially interesting highlights:
Soviet officials believed right away that it was an “ultraright” coup
As of 1965, KGB claimed to have data that implicated LBJ in the plot

I was being a bit of jerk there, comrade, so sorry about that. :meow-hug:
Self-Crit:
I made the snarky comment because I was annoyed that I wasn't getting the engagement that I wanted, but it's within your right to state your beliefs without defending them in a discussion, and I need to accept that. I can recall times where I've been in your shoes and didn't have the energy to debate.
Just to be clear, I am agnostic on the question of who killed JFK. I thought that was clear in my original comment, which is why I used the "I feel" phrasing, but then went on to devote the majority of the comment to the idea that LBJ was involved in the assassination plot (an idea that I view as wholely plausible)
A large part of why I didn't want to get into a massive debate with you (too late now, haha) is that my take on who shot JFK is not a strongly held position.
I'm also in the middle of all kinds of Christmas stuff right now, so I'm not able to crack out sources that dig into individual points in detail.
Anyway, I appreciate your response here, and hope you are having a good holiday and don't spend too much of it getting worked up on Hexbear. I will try to do the same.
:comrades:
That's cool, I'm glad that you're at least open-minded/agnostic about it. Yes, your original comment was perfectly clear and fine. I can empathize with having a controversial opinion that attracts debate bros like flies to a street lamp.
Merry Christmas, comrade!
