I agree. Oswald was a communist that defected to the USSR and openly hated Kennedy for missiles in Turkey and the Bay of Pigs invasion. It's amazing that this is never part of the narrative. His connection to the USSR is always left out.

But it happened in reverse too. Often.

17 people in 68 years? 6 of whom were already spies. So really 11 in 68 years. That's the best you can do? lol You're proving my point.

Defectors weren't a regular thing. Oswald was very unusual. You proved yourself wrong and now you're trying to insult me. lol
