“Its as if some sort of secret promise was made (by JFK) back in October 1962 (Cuban Missile Crisis) to protect the governnment in Cuba.”

I think you may be correct. Also, think about the “Iron Curtain”, was there a secret agreement at Yalta to divide Europe into spheres of influence for 50 years?

1945-1995? Why no Soviet tanks against Poland, East Germany etc? They did it before to Hungary and the Czecks. Why not at the end?

East Germany ended in 1990 as did the Soviet Union. The years 1989 to 1990 saw a revolution in Eastern Europe and Russia. Too bad it didn’t completely happen in China.

Interesting question as to why the USSR didn’t to it again. Maybe they were facing internal problems.

The younger generation had different ideals than the old farts in control. Perhaps believed in freedom?
