You'd think for that kind of money we wouldn't have to let no chinamen push us around like that
They all look the same.
My grandpa was terrified of them, said if we let them in they'd own the country in short order. Liked Mexicans, hated Chinese. Used to wag his finger at me and wax poetic...he'd say: chinky chinky chinaman sittin on a fence, tryin to make a dollar out of fifteen cents.

well usually they tell us that the 600 billion a year is how Ronnie defeated the Russians
so... you know... if it worked once lets keep doing that
Well its true
We exploited a broken economic system. Argue it wasn’t the the case, fine. But the USSR did in fact run out of cash trying to keep up
Given that our foreign policy on China since Nixon has been to bolster them economically by allowing them into world markets AND given that we have only taken the PLA seriously for just the last 10 years.... I’d say that isn’t the strategy behind the spending
But yeah... we went to Afghanistan for the minerals and we’re spending on the military to bankrupt our creditors

We didn't defeat the Russians.
The Russians were just playing Soviet.
CID is right. We merely outspent them. The Russian were able to get a little bits of freedom after Gorbechev's rise to power and from there on it was a only a matter of time. The policies of "demokratizatsiya " and "Glasnost" did so much from a liberalism perspective that coupled with the shitty economy (and rising alcohol costs! ) collapse was shortly ahead.

China effectively putting an end to “One Country, Two Systems” in Hong Kong
Did anybody really believe them in the 1990s anyway?
