How about the Communists realigning themselves for the next run?
We got so caught up in Reagan winning the cold war we never took something into consideration. The Communists never really went away. They just changed their modus operandi.
You don't have to conquer and hold territory to project your ideology. The Soviets needed money and a way to get out the message. It was cheaper to give up all their territory, go into business for themselves and continue with their human intelligence efforts then to send in armies. Remember, Clinton killed our humint. There was a reason for it.
Marxism is alive and well. Just look at our Democrat party. With today's information technologies, war is no longer fought on battlefields. It is fought on CNN and the Globalists own the worlds Mass media.
We can beat any army on the battlefield. Until we can win the war in the media, I am afraid that we will continue to see gains on the Marxist front that will work to weaken our ideals. Saying that, the first step is to get the UN out of the US.
I'll bt you got that idea from the media, itself.
We just simplistically assumed that with the fall of the Soviet Union, we would all live happily ever after.
