So the military overspending was of of the factors, but it was definitely not enough to collapse the USSR.
P.S. The USSR has collapsed when Cold War was already over. |
you disagree because you're russian, that's cool, this isn't my opinion it's the view of a large # of cold war historians. i understand your view, the ussr collapse was merely a coincendence that it collapsed when it did (right after being spent into oblivion facing the SDI as well :-)) and that very well may be a mind-blowing coincidence eh
wouldn't that be something!
