If you search the archives you will find a thread not only about U.S. plans to invade Canada, but also Canadian plans to fight a war with the United States. That fact that plans exist in no way means that they are intended to be used. Partially they are intellectual excercises.

They are also simulations run to try and figure out if plans would work in case they were needed, if for instance, Canada was sneak attacked by the USSR, how would the U.S. respond. If the U.S. became fascist, how would Canada defend itself, etc. Are these realitic possibilities? No. But most of history is made up of things that would be considered improbable if it didn't happen.

Of course the USSR had plans to invade Western Europe. NATO also had plans to invade the USSR. You don't wait until war is likely to start making plans for it.

Like by the way, Russia, whose population has achieved a much more better level of life standards and quality of life in ten years of imperfect capitalism than in 70 years of perfect communism.

Wherever you are getting your numbers, I would find another source. The Russian GDP has been slashed as has production, unemployment has skyrocketed, crime is high (Many Russian companies are run by the mafia), Russia is in a population decline, the Russian standards of living, have fallen DRAMATICALLY since the free market revolution....
Russia was promised enourmous growth under capitalism. All Russia has gotten is poverty!
IIRC, this is why the communists still do so well. Yes, Russia may have (psuedo) freedom now, but if you can't eat then what good is it?

Hmph.

So, basically, the French brought about the downfall of the Soviet Union. Pretty impressive stuff.
