Did we really win the Cold War?
I’ve had to rethink that in light of what has occurred.
Russia is ruled by the KGB (under a different set of letters)
The U.S. has a communist in the Rainbow House fundamentally transforming us.
Find the Communist Goals read into the Congressional record in 1963 and tell me if we won the Cold War.
Most of those goals have been met or are on their way to being met.

Good points.

We certainly THOUGHT we had won the Cold War by 1992. The seminal event that heralded victory was when the Soviet Union officially dissolved.

The counter-intuitive part is that, instead of defeat, this presented a golden OPPORTUNITY for the Marxists because we got lazy and stupid as a result of our apparent victory. It gave us the comfort level we needed to elect people like Bill Clinton.

Within 10 years of the collapse of Communism, you had people openly hawking the benefits of Marxism. This found a particularly receptive audience in young people who had no memory of the Evil Empire.

The irony is that today, even Russia seems friendlier to religion than the US does.
