I am astounded every day that such a dysfunctional mess of a country managed to win the Cold War. Maybe they were less dysfunctional in the 70s and 80s and I just wasn’t alive to see it, but I doubt that. But hey, sure we lost the Cold War, but now I’ll get to watch the USA collapse, instead of reading about it in a history textbook in middle school, so that’s nice I guess. Small consolation for the loss of the Warsaw Pact and the Comintern, though.
Communist states that don’t offer meaningful support to fellow communists, really grind my gears. Especially when it loses us massive conflicts like the Cold War.
