The USSR was put to their own knees for denying themsleves a place on the global economic table. THAT is why they faultered. Having to pay in gold for US dollars to make trades with nations only willing to accept US dollars. They were doomed the moment they started the cold war. It finally took them down completely. Reagan just happened to be the dude on watch at the time.
So we let them in on the world stage and they take the computers we let them have and hack at the world with them, and they take all the dollars they get to play with now and but war hardware and let a warmonger "lead" them back... into war. Give the bully kiddies some money and they go right back to being bullies again.
We should cut their undersea cables and down all their satellites for deciding to harm others.
In fact if we played like them, they would already be vapor... dust...
