You are right in your analysis, Victor, but to one point : had the Soviets managed tu find a non mountainous corridor to some surface on the Indian ocean, to invade either Iran or Pak or parts of both(!); and even then, with excellent harbor facilities, their regime would have collapsed. In would have only taken half a dozen years or so. By the end eighties they were informed of the world real events by faxes and that changed their collective perception for good. It is a widely known fact that till the end of the sixties, most Russians believed that almost everyone in America was poor, many of them to starvation but in Hollywood and some Jews selling weapons and newspapers. How could the Russian stand still in the nineties with the satellite dishes, then the internet?
