Well you won't know without knowing the difference. Just say that we've a different order but for ordinary people probably make no difference.

You born after that so did I. Is like saying that the world is better place now because Napoleon invaded Europe. Well, you won't know what would be if he didn't so your argument has no logic (and, in addition you have no idea how life was during that time)

His argument also fails with the Ukraine situation. The world may be a better place today because the USSR disbanded, but Ukraine would not be being invaded by Russia today if the USSR never disbanded.

Uhm, no? If the USSR never disbanded, hundreds of millions would still be suffering under a broken system instead of starting on the path to recovery a few decades ago.

The breakup was unquestionably a good thing for humanity.

Are you actually arguing we should’ve let the Nazis be and slaughtering every non-Aryan in sight?
