There is just something so profoundly baffling, bizarre, and ... silly... about this whole business. Does the movie star Will Farrell and Milla Jovovich? Can't wait to see it when it comes out. :D

What about the children, they grew up as Americans!

Crazy. I read that some of these spies were apparently incompetent! Good for us, I suppose, but shades of Maxwell Smart!

I imagine the ones who have reached their teens anyway are resentful and angry with their parents just now.

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.

-----------

The kids will be ostracised by their peers in America because their parents were Russian spies.
If they join their parents in Russia, their peers will ostracise them because their
parents failed in their mission (whatever that was). The chilfren are the innocent
victims of this ridiculous playacting from the days of the Cold War.
What in the world were these people supposed to find out while living in comfort in
American suburbia?
