No surprise that someone with three Communist revolutionary leaders in his sig would have had us take a soft approach with the USSR. I support the guy who has anti-Soviet Pope John Paul II in his sig, thanks.
It really wouldn't have mattered how hard you banged your drums, they were already faltering.
Does anyone honestly believe the Soviet Union could've lasted through the 90s?
That's just ignorant. Almost everyone who was alive back then or has studied the period in a serious way, not punkass college kids who wear Che shirts because they think it makes then a "revolutionary" and it gets them hippy pussy, but serious people who know what they're talking about, laugh at this notion.
The US was in a crapper in 1980, the USSR was on the move. If you really want to go debate who was stronger in 1980, go for it. There's a reason the 1980 hockey game was burned into the American psyche, and it ain't cause we thought we had the Cold War in the bag.
