That wasn’t upset, that was gloating!
Remember how Gorby tried at Rekyavik to persuade Reagan to give away the store on SDI? When Reagan refused, the Soviets bled themselves dry trying to catch up with the U.S. in armaments.
Gorbachev is far more popular among liberals in the West than he is in the Motherland, my point. And like most commies in search of meaning, hasn’t Gorby turned to environmentalism & saving polar bears?
Thanks for the clarification - my humor runs with the same ironic tone and I have gotten accustomed to giving hints for those who can’t fathom some of my comments. I know how a few of the minds here work - might catch on to yours too after a few more posts.
