    All those things you said were correct, but you left some big things out.
    USA President at the time, Ronald Reagan, talked about how he watched the communists in Hollywood when he worked in film. He figured out during those decades how to defeat communism by studying them.
    He started the arms race. He knew that eventually they would run out of other people's money. Capitalism didn't have that same vulnerability. So he developed and built our military. The intention wasn't to invade the USSR, but to bankrupt them. They felt like they had to keep up, as President Reagan knew they would. Communism and socialism can't compete with capitalism concerning revenue generation. Constant attention must be kept on what information is released to the people so they maintain strict control over their lives. It's still illegal in today's Russia to publically criticize the leader. The people couldn't know that other people didn't have to stand in line 8 hours for a loaf of bread. Yeltsin said after visiting America .and seeing our grocery stores, that the people would revolt if they ever knew. I used to bring pantyhose every time i went to give to the ladies. They were almost impossible to get and is what they always asked for. I also brought plenty of dollars to black market to those who favored freedom. Did that in Czechoslovakia and E. Germany too; they shot anyone who tried to escape. I remember dancing with a Russian man, a Chinese man and a czechoslovakian man at a discotheque. We brought the cassette tape of the movie Dirty Dancing. They had never heard it. We ended up leaving that cassette tape.
    Once people see the deceptions of those that would keep them from their God given rights and freedoms they can't be controlled. The people wanted freedom. Once they realized power belongs to the people not the elite corrupt government, that country will make the changes needed or it will collapse.
    I stood at the Berlin wall many times before it came down, which was the year i graduated high school. I stood at it again after it fell.
    It's a sad thing to see the same things happening all over the world, without the people even understanding what's going on. fortunately we do and our forefathers had good foresight to put measures in place to provide some protection from all that crap. We were born out of rebellion and will never submit to any tyranny. It breaks my heart. It seems people haven't learned from the history or they've forgotten it.
    People better wake up. It's hella late.

      Much like The Roach Motel, those who check into the EU can never leave.
      Effectively they are captives and their sovereignty is being eroded away.
      Some are trying to get out and eventually they will. The fist ones out will be better off than the last ones still in when it finally falls apart.

    What a stupid way to frame what happened back in 1991.
    The Soviet Union didn't disintegrate as it has been put, independent countries were given back their freedom to make their own choices.
    To chose democracy or dictatorship. Friendship over fear.
    For a brief time, the promise of friendship, with all the economic and social benefits was clear. Unfortunately, Putin's greed has us all of this opportunity.
