By 1984 and beyond we had increased our qualitative edge and decreased the numerical differences. We also had started to develop new doctrine and weapons systems.If Red Army had made a thrust in '87 or '88 they'd have died before our guns. That was understood after Desert Storm.

What is "not true"? "I wrote "The Russians were shocked at what we did during the first gulf war." I'm not sure hat you mean because it seems you agree with me?

Which I doubt because that person is an adviser in the oval office today and has spoken personally with the Russian military commanders of that time.
