I asked for examples of international sanctions which USSR & their allies couldn’t match. That book is about CIA and US crappy foreign policy. If you say that CIA actions where themselves sanctions against USSR, then surely KGB should have solved the issue.
The book is very clearly focused on US intervention directly against the USSR and other socialist regimes. Did you even glance through the table of contents?
Are you suggesting that we ignore this significant, direct interference from an abnormally advantaged superpower as a contributing factor to the USSR’s downfall? That’s simply illiterate.
I’m sure famine, sanctions, and concentrated international sabotage had nothing to do with it.
There was no famine in URSS post world war 2. What are you talking about?
Last I checked, 1946-1947 comes after 1945, double-check my math though.
And let’s circle back around to the far more important concentrated international sabotage if you please.
The Soviet Union collapsed in 1990 because of the famine in 47?
International sabotage? Do you have evidence of sanctions against USSR and their allies which weren’t matched back by USSR & their allies?
Someone else already linked ‘Killing Hope’ by William Blum. I recommend perusing it.
That doesn’t answer the question. At most, it just shows that KGB were more incompetent or not endowed with literary talent.
