It would be horrible if they won.
You do have somewhat of a point. When the USSR fell apart....look at all the problems that arose.
The civil war in the old Yugoslavia, terrorists all over the place, a dozen or so old USSR countries with nukes, suitcase nukes and plutonium for sale on the black market, etc.

first of all, the Soviets does not have invaded us. Too some distance away and too massive to occupy and govern. i detect it beautiful that adults can not fathom the logistics that such invasions might entail. you ought to argue that the U. S. couldnt efficiently occupy Iraq and Afghanistan. it particularly is a fantasy that every physique gained the chilly conflict. the two international locations had to stay to tell the story on great military business complexes that have been intricately in contact in the two international locations' economies. the U. S.'s economic device continues to be based on the army business complicated. we are overburdened by way of the charges of that complicated. The Soviets have been the 1st casuality of the so-noted as chilly conflict and it replaced into with the aid of over-spending. That replaced into unquestionably not our approach... it in basic terms befell and we benefitted. i don't now precisely what we unquestionably have been given out of it nevertheless. Nuclear weapons are nevertheless a probability, in basic terms in diverse and much less predictable gamers. Claiming we gained the chilly conflict is like asserting the guy next to Lance Armstrong in the 2d place is now the winner. It does not advise something.

If the USSR had won the Cold War, life would not be as we know it. The Christians in the United States would not have stood for a government which did not allow freedom of religion.

The CIA didn't encourage Muslim extremism, they just armed it. So did the USSR - every war Israel has ever fought, the weapons fired at them originated in the USSR.

Actually we can thank Islam for the threat since they were doing it before the CIA helped them defeat USSR. Please inform yourself of history before ranting against America.
And if the USSR had won the cold war we'd all be standing in line for toilet paper or fighting for freedoms we had long ago.

the philosophy behind al Qaeda existed long before the Bolshevisks took control in 1917.
Actually, if the USSR had sufficient economic resources to build effective military weapons, they wouldn't have abandoned Afghanistan. They were there for 10 years - suffered (what?) 50,000 casualties - and left.
US overthrew the country in a few weeks.
Then we overthrew Iraq in a few weeks.
And suffered 800 dead per year. PER YEAR.
Point to ONE successful communist country.
you can't

Well, you'd be out standing in line waiting to buy toilet paper if that had happened.
The CIA isn't perfect, but, um didn't the USSR invade Afghanistan unprovoked? Had they never done that, no CIA involvement and no al Qaeda.

Well considering that higher enlisted soldiers in the USSR pimp out the new soldiers to men, and make the young soldier give them all the money and beat them up. NO!
Considering your president kills people who speaks out against him-NO! Considering the Russian mafia is thriving-NO! Also, would it be better to have to live in cramped apartments, and have the govt. convince me their is no such thing as self, and try to kill me if I write poetry becuase there is no such think as personal thought-NO!

Not for you it wouldn't. Are you seriously suggesting that a communist military with demonstrable gobal ambitions would have been preferable to a geurilla force of religious fanatics?

Do you really think that Russia has never had to deal with terrorism from Islamic extremists? What kind of vacuum do you live in?
