Re: "Re USSR -- most what you assert is semi-nonsense. Or comlete nonsense." >>> But, apparently, you are totally incapable of pointing out any specific problems or complaints you have with what I wrote, so we could discuss them.... :) >>> What was it you disagreed with? >>> Me saying that Communism failed economically versus the western free market economies... and that it had been declining for DECADES? >>> Or me saying that the 40 odd years of Cold War pressure on the Soviets (spending on our militaries and our larger, ever larger economies which enabled such spending by the west) also must be credited with containing the Soviets, while their economy continued to decline. >>> Or, was it me saying that Reagan/Bush taking credit for the defeat of the 'Evil Empire' was like a relief Pitcher coming into the game during the last inning... and taking credit for the win?
