Furthermore - Breslin wants to say that "containment" actually worked. Excuse me, but hadn't the Soviet Union been consistently EXPANDING from 1945 to 1980 - Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, Afghanistan, Central America...That's not containment.
Not until Reagan did the Soviets actually becomed contained, shrunken, and then crushed!

My idea. Glad you like it.
