Other than in parts of Southeast Asia, Northern Africa and South and Central America-communism was dead.
The arms race is in part what enables myself to point out Russia is a gas station with a $2trillion economy.
I get the confusion!
In 1980 communism was dead except in S.E. Asia?!? What an idiotic remark to make. That gas station has militarily, economically and diplomatically bi+ch slapped the West all around the world for two years now. You get the award for the two stupidest comments I’ve seen in a while.
