> so basically kremlinoid made enemies of the world. yes. although the soviets were in an extremely disadvantageous position vis-a-vis the united states. imagine if china was next to america instead of the soviet union, and imagine the united states had to pass through the baltic sea, or the black sea(and the bosphorus strait), or the fucking arctic circle, and with only one warm-water port. america has so many advantages it's ridiculous. the only danger to america is mexico. pic-related.   gpp_nlok > at the time even america was a decent friend to soviet monkeys no. the united states fucked the soviets every chance we could, including by supporting islamic fundamentalists(mujahideen) to fight the soviets in afghanistan and later russia's allies in yugoslavia(bosnia). we also organized with the saudis to tank the price of oil to bankrupt the soviets, and began pumping billions of dollars into eastern europe in the 1980's via the national endowment for democracy and radio free europe and other propaganda outlets, to break the soviet union apart. we also supported separatists in chechnya/dagestan. then we pushed nato expansion to russia's borders to create a security dilemma that would compel russia into another arms race that would bankrupt what is left the russian empire. including pushing color revolutions and organizing coups to install pro-american governments.
