And don't forget, this was written in 2006! No "new cold war", no long-range bomber patrols and no new arms race back then! Nor this open Russian-Chinese military cooperation (like the joint military exercise they held this year)! No hacking and poison food scandals either.

Read this too (regarding 9/11):

An interesting analysis, but it has one major flaw: of what use or to what purpose would it be to the men who dismantled the soviet Marxist state, only to re-establish a communist dictatorship years later? Most of these men would be dead or feeble with age to take advantage of a resurrected Marxist state years later.

We would need to suppose that these Marxists from the 1980s dismantled the soviet state “for the children?”

The Russian or more properly called Soviets had a secret pact in 1950 with the Chinese called the Korean War.

I did not read anything that gives evidence for the title of this article. There is no doubt that the Soviets/Russians were in league with Saddam over his oil, and Putin has sought to make himself the oil cartel god of this planet. China poked its finger in our eye right after President Bush became president. All that given this headline doesn’t fit.

Isn’t Gorbachov supposedly in the Presidio in San Francisco working on a global religion?

I have been skeptical about this collapse of the USSR thing since it started. It’s hard to see a country collapsed when it has 10,000 nuke warheads aimed in whatever direction. They have gotten by without a navy or army in the meantime and nobody has made a move on them. Not much of a collapse, more of a gambit. QBP-4
