On Sputnik and the fall of the USSR she has a huge timeline problem. Sputnik was 1957. The USSR didnt collapse until 1989 and that was Reagan that did it, not Sputnik.

Read Ann Coulters book Treason.

Ann Coulter writes some good stuff, but I don't recall seeing her labeled a "Soviet Space Expert".
