This is a great man, in the right place at the right time. Then some of those Chinese leaders must be right up your alley.

>>>>"He will go down in history as a person who changed the world for the better."Right Slick!
Ronald Reagan will go down in history as the person who not only won the Cold War, but ended the Soviet Union and vanquished Euro-communism in the process.

Gorby, like Slick Willie, is trying to rewrite history in search of a legacy.

"Perestroika won"
I had previously read a profile of the present day life of this man. It was,I believe in the redoubtable CANADA FREE PRESS. I hastily accessed Google. I hope I have the facts. What rankles is this. Now I did not get much time to double check. Herewith. American military bases were being closed. The area know as the PRESIDIO seemed to be doomed to oblivion.
The United Nations got in there. Huge sums of money was expended and this man-Gorbachev was ensconced there. Yes, San Francisco. Now like the International Socialist that he is, he dares flip his finger at America.
It is said that those who believe in a conspiracy of a New World Order, might be wacko. I wonder?

Better stick a HUGE barf alert on the picture of those three delusional whack jobs.
Just about blew chunks meself -- and I'm tough.
[Apart from a lifetime supply of brown nosings by the KKKling Tong Crime Family and such librium-dependant droolers as the person whose name escapes me but was once important around CNN and every other member of the hate-America gang, about all Gormless Gorby ever "won" was a one-way plane ride back from the Black Sea to oblivion, courtesy of Russia's by then already effective President, "Boozing-Boris" Yeltsen]

The US and Russia had both emerged victorious at the end of the Cold War, former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev said. "I would not be making a mistake to say that perestroika won. It succeeded," he said...
Yeah, okay Gorby, Russia 'won'.
When the soviet union collapsed everyone got a pony. Is that about it?

The Soviet Union won the Cold War!I had a college professor state in a classroom that the Russians single-handedly won World War II.
Delusion abounds.
To: Tailgunner Joe; Neophyte
Words of wisdom from our dear ex-Gensek. I'd like to ask him a question: do you think Mikhail Sergeevich that Germans also won WWII?
This level of mendacity takes my breath away.

remember very clearly visiting a bookshop and reading, quickly, through Gorbachev's book describing the need for perestroika (restructuring) of the Soviet Union. In that instant I saw the world we live in would change. It was an event like landing on the moon, AND MORE, in what it portended for the peace and safety of people living at that time.
This is a great man, in the right place at the right time.
LOL, good one!
I always took perestroika to translate roughly to, "Da, Comrade! We are still monstrous butchers, but at least the people can wear American blue jeans."
