Leftoids are so good at rewriting history.......Amazing. I thought even you would remember someone called Mikhail Gorbachev. You know, the man who pushed through Reagan's BS and actually ended the Cold War.

*sigh*
...not much on understanding history, or the implements critical to it's unfolding are you?
Ronald Reagan should go down as one of the worst, and certainly the most overrated, Presidents in history. He more or less reconstituted Conservative doctrine to that of NeoConservatism.. which amounts to economic free market liberalism, American global imperialism and social libertarianism.
He might of been just too stupid to be blamed for it, steeped in a world of personal vain glory, movie plot fantasy and utterly in control of his NeoCon American Imperial handlers. Trump has said, somewhat mutedly because of the Reagan worship that enthralls that Republican Party, that he is a complete opponent of Reaganomics.
That is America's only hope, because the NeoCon Republicans and the NeoLib Democrats are following Reagan's economic script to the letter.
Coldstream, was that Walter who gave you a reddie? Hi Walter.
It was strikes in coal mines which then spread to industry that triggered the fall if the Soviets.
No, I think he's right. The USSR was a place of happiness and joy until those EEE-vil coal miners ruined everything!Why don't you publish a paper on the subject? I'm sure your coal mine theory on the collapse of the USSR will be widely accepted in academic circles.
Not much knowledge, eh? The circulation of illicit material, person-to-person, recorded on compact cassettes ate away at the Soviet bloc regimes. The Czech velvet Revolution was borne on cassettes and Western Rock and Punk circulated all over the Soviet Union.
"When it came to geography, not even the Iron Curtain could stop the flow of cassettes from the West to the East and vice versa. Before the cassette era, anyone in the Socialist Bloc who had a Beatles album enjoyed the status equal to that of the singers whose vinyl he had. With the first cassettes, this monopoly disappeared. The easiness with which cassettes could be copied " one only needed to have a cassette deck " spread capitalist music to the most distant regions of the Soviet Union. It could be said that cassettes made music truly international."
