Re:Bound to Fail: The Rise and Fall of the Liberal Internati... by throwawaygal7 on Friday January 07, 2022 @09:52AM (#29839714)
I never called anyone evil, but if you think we liberalized the USSR by making them a major trading partner and moving our industrial base to the communist block... well, all I can say is I don't believe that's what happened, but you can if you'd like to.

I'm not even sure it's fair to say the fall of the USSR was entirely due to external influence, I do think the pressure the west put was a factor but I think internal events like chernoybyl and the quirks of the leadership sucession in the 80s had as much to do with it.
