Not by 1980.
The best balance of power that Russia had by my 1979 take, in other words, the best time to attack if they were ever going to I decided in 1979, was to attack in 1984.
By the time that window arrived, I was in a position to share my opinion with French and American intelligence people and found out that they had figured the same, 1984.
The Russians missed that window and never felt confident enough to attack NATO, and when that moment passed, they were heading for either finding another one at least a decade away or heading for the collapse that Reagan was driving them into.
