"Noam Homsky" LOL.

 The article states what everyone knows – that there was a "cold" war between the United States and the Soviet Union, with covert operations, spying, and proxy wars going on by both sides.

The fall of the Soviet Union has more to do with depressed oil and gas prices and an inability to develop a native information technology sector – in the 1980s, IBM alone produced more midframe  and supercomputers than the entire Soviet Union produced calculators. Beyond that was the perennial problem of Russian politics – the inability of Moscow to govern the provinces due to corruption and distorted channels of information.

As a student of Russian history, I would argue that Russia follows a cyclical pattern – intense periods of creativity and development (literature and the arts in the 19th century, aerospace and engineering in the 20th century) followed by periods of stagnation – what you refer to as "zastoi" – Brezhnyev, Nikolai II, the period after the reign of Ivan Grozny.

Like neighbor, I can say that USA it´s not my favorite country.

Abuse to latinamericans that cross the border in the search of the "american dream", wars without a real reason, intervention in countries where they don´t have to participate, excess in their way of life, but there´s only the part that the media makes us to know.

I have no doubt that between the millions of americans, most of them are good persons.

It´s a polemic forum, but you have to considered that every country has its own evil people: drug dealers, politicians, perverts, etc.

When people talking about USA…I think it's just like Britney's song about boys..

she said "boys….cant live with them, cant live without them"

now change the boys with USA

I really really think it's a take it or leave it kind of situation..if you really hate and dislike USA, stop using american products, stop export your stuff to USA, beat USA on paying the UN tax (it will be a good thing really), and instead of blaming USA for the fall of USSR…why dont you start to build your country and try to beat USA..economically maybe?

Just a suggestion…

Do I like USA?

I can only say: HOOAH
