The US, in an arms race against the USSR, pushed the Soviets over the edge in spending but that was not the sole factor. The Berlin Wall did not collapse out of poor mainanance. Polish Independence did not come from buying new missiles.
And the left still weeps that the USSR collapsed.
THere ARE enemies of the US (including France and Soros) who seem to be actively opposing the US in partnership with the Axis of Evil. Money transfers and opposinng victory at every turn. Doesn't have to cost what we are spending, but some are against us.
I've written to him.....and I wish I had added.....Well, THANK YOU sir.....for outting yourself as one of the enemies...
