I think the USSR would have imploded under the
weight of imbacil burocratism, inefficiency
maffia-bribery, - a lack of openness and the
lack of democracy - even without the
outside propaganda and military pressure.
Similar causes are the making
of the US disintegration. The weakness was demonstrated
to me in the inability to take advantage economically of the
east-European disintegration. And the latest insanity is just
unbelievable.
