Youve gotta be kidding me... Matlock, former ambassador to USSR... - TopicsExpress



          

Youve gotta be kidding me... Matlock, former ambassador to USSR... Figures. Geriatric Cold Warrior, pardon my French. Insecurities about being a loser are of no interest here. Aggression is not the way to solve that problem - it is to make your country successful and prove others wrong. As it stands, Russian Federation IS the big loser, and will follow the path of the USSR, in all likelihood. Such revisionism and equivocation is all cute, but its not accurate and does not take into account the entire context. The fact of the matter is that nobody knows what would have happened - if the USSR hadnt fallen apart, or if the putsch in August 1991 succeeded in some way - there could have been another spiral of the Cold War. Such discussions are entirely academic and literary. But trying to blame USA for Russias behavior? Thats just outright disingenuous, if not dishonest.
