The Soviet Union collapsed because they invaded Afghanistan, wasted all their money, destroyed their economy, and couldn’t withstand dissent from within their own country. It certainly wasn’t as much to do with anything we did.


If you were to visit anywhere in the Soviet Union, you would understand that their whole economy was one state regulated defense industry. There are whole towns in the Soviet Union that have become depopulated as a result of this. Consumer goods were not a priority and both defense and consumer goods were sub-par as a result of a centralized economy preparing for war and based on a militaristic model.

There are a lot of factors that contributed to the fall of the Soviet Union, but they were not focused on defense for shits and giggles, they were focused on securing and expanding their empire. The Soviet Union spent billions on the war in Vietnam, billions they could not afford.

Nobody did anything to stop 800,000 Tutsi from being hacked to death with machetes.

Agreed. Life long communists like Obama have always dreamed of killing capitalist America...you know....for the greater good. How do you destroy capitalism in a country?? Destroy the economy with unsustainable debt and interest. How would one do that? Double the debt and let it piss away, confident in what fate lies somewhere down the road.

Yes. In the process. The context wasn't in the scope of your short term vision.

Try to expand your understanding.

Presumably you're concerned about our current deficit spending?

Yes. I was concerned during the Bush years as well.

And I attribute a lot of the debt accumulated this century to Bush.

I guess if we’re going to track debt accumulation as a sign of communist infiltration we’re going to have to indict quite a few gov officials from the past 30 years into the present on both sides of the aisle.

Diabetic fish go into convulsions. If you haven't seen it, it's a horrible sight to behold. They just flop around gasping for air.
