Most people in America think that all the Soviets just magically went away after the USSR “collapsed.” They do not realize that those people are still around, still very dangerous, and that they still wish ill to the USA. The USA becomes more like the USSR every day. I remain dubious that we “won” the Cold War, after all.
my understanding is:
in 1983 USSR was very close to launch a surprise attack
But USA managed to somehow avoid it. Thanks to President Reagan, Judge Clark and of course Pope John Paul 2 and all those heroic figures with them
So later USA got to achieve strategic advantage against USSR
with a price of oil and Pershing rockets to make it simple.
Soviet move in response was:
1.they went for cover up of Perestroika
2.they blew up(secretly of course) Chornobyl nuclear station
From what i heard and the source is rather serious:
Gorbachev was a stooge of Primakov,
who still runs things in Russia behind the backs of clowns like putin or that other midget ,
Gorbachev agreed to become A Man who will launch an attack later. That was a MUST for Gorbachev to be appointed.
But thing went sour for soviets when Germany after unification did not go red as they expected.
So we may say that Cold war we(USA and Christian world) did win.
Or I rather say we won that battle of the 1980s.
But now they are up for revenge
Lets embrace our selfs and find a political and military answer to this threat.
We won the cold war all right. But those people are still around, still very dangerous. The communists think in longer terms like 20-year plans to rebound, the Chinese think in thousand-year plans. Americans don’t think much past lunch or next weekend. Our enemies are willing to be patient to get what they want.
