The dirty secret is, the West didn't really do the Soviets in, not after Veitnam; held them at bay yes, defeat, not really.I hope USA manage to free itself without cyvil war.It would be shame if country which not die fighting soviets go down as bigger Venezuella.
Comrade Daytlov and plant managers at Chernobyl did more to end the USSR than NATO or the US ever could.
