<the Soviet system was doomed anyway, although no-one believed that in '79/'80. >

Actually it's 'no one in a position to do anything about it' believed it 'enough' to take the right course. The economic boondogles of Soviet government have been chronicled for decades with it's imminent demise predicted. A good portion of that Reagan defense buildup was simply a waste and many semi-mainstream political rags were calling it such.
