Just as much as some off the deep end posters think about the US world domination plot.

Yet more proof that Reagan brought down the Evil Empire, solidifying his position as the greatest American president.

So if the Soviets were not threatening like the West made out them to be despite those lines they used, I suppose we can infer that next time Russia say such threatening things there's nothing to worry about. She's just acting like that blowfish, puffing herself up to make her look bigger and dangerous.

Perhaps the Soviet paranoia and the West's paranoia fed upon each other, giving fuel to each other's fire? The communist rheotric to have workers unite and overthrow their oppressors along with the clamping of the Iron Curtain across Europe and the attempt to communistize the rest of Europe did not exactly send friendly signals to the West. Of course the West were concerned - after all USSR is a huge and powerful country. She has provided twice that in a war against a superior enemy, she can afford to endure a war of attrition. The West had to react agains this Bear on her borders who were making those threatening noises.

Wasn't that due to a translation mistake or something?

Anyway, yeah, they sure buried us.

Thanks for admitting you're comparable to an off the deep end poster.

No. But he meant economically, not militarily. As in "capitalism will not survive economic competition with socialism".

One question that I have is whether similar actions are justified against current enemies. For instance, is it OK to sabotage the technology that the Iranians and North Koreans either buy or steal?
