Sorry. I don't really know what the Cold War was about. But I see your
point.

Maybe it was about Weapons of Mass Destruction and freeing the Russian
people, and in the process destroying their system of government and
rebuilding a new Russia, for, by, and of the Russian people.

I find it funny that the US spent decades fighting the cold war, with an
insane amount of resources dedicated to destroying communism, then says
'See, told you it doesn't work.'

Hardly an unbiased source though, wouldn't you say?

"If there ever was in the history of humanity an enemy who was truly
universal, an enemy whose acts and moves trouble the entire world,
threaten the entire world, attack the entire world in any way or
another, that real and really universal enemy is precisely Yankee
imperialism." - Fidel Castro
