So unsound it functioned for decade after decade. It didn't actually collapse until reforms, supposedly on the basis of a better system of markets, were implemented.

Source? Also, I would have thought the invasion part of that sentence was more important to the point than the boycott of the Olympics.
ninjahood wrote:The Soviet Union would have collapsed a year later, except that Ronald Reagan became president and started giving the Soviets wheat paid for with our tax dollars.
Except the Soviets paid for that grain (it may have been subsudised, but it wasn't free), and during the grain embargo that preceded that, the Soviets just bought grain from other countries. Which again suggests the Soviets had not run out of money.

The Soviets had been trading with the free world since the 1920s... took them a while.
ninjahood wrote:Any analysis that does not focus on the reasons why the Soviet Union did not collapse sooner is garbage.
Any analysis citing events of the 1980s as if they were unique to Soviet history is also garbage.
