| Rath said: The Soviet collapse was entirely inwards, their economy simply wasn't able to sustain itself and they were no longer ruled by an iron fist so the Union just broke apart. Indeed I would say the final ruler of the Soviet Union was responsible for its break up. Gorbachev I think it is? |
They were forced into an arms race they couldn't win by the USA.......
I daresay a communism-based economy WOULD have collapsed on its own eventually (thats why China is quickly developing a Capitalism-based economy), but in the Soviet Union's case, the USA certainly helped the economy on it's way to destruction.
