If anything actually pushed the evil empire into real bankruptcy- it was prohibition under Gorbachev... The gov't lost huge part of the revenue due to very high alcohol prices .This had created a new industry (underground) and all the money remained in private hands. Eventually the state planned economy started to collapse . All the way... No doubt. But it doesn't change the fact that SDI was a red herring. It couldn't work, and wasn't supposed to. But it's creation and public presentation was a strategy to undo the Soviet Union. Whether it was successful in that may be an issue of some debate, but that was its purpose. But, what is that 60 years old car you drive? Is it a Saab car? Cannot be SAAB. More like a Volvo or a M-B. |
