So? We did not invade and destroy them. Was the USSR so weak it was unable to be self-sufficient on the world stage?

Well, US did do a huge part in the fall of the USSR, but you're right, we did not invade them.

[–] Candelestine@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

True. I was kinda hitting back at this idea that the USSR was getting lots of credit for anything good that happened there, but when it came to their fall, well, that was all our fault.

I generally agree with your other comments as well.

Yeah. However, that doesn't mean that US is the villain. Nations are well...rather complex.
