[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3219915, member: 58386"] When it appeared that there wasn't going to be another Czechoslovakia 1968 or another Hungary 1956 and that Gorbachev wasn't likely to invade the Warsaw Pact nations realized that this could be their best chance to make a break for it and break for it they did. Likewise Jim Baker told the Russians that NATO's only expansion would be the reunification of Germany. Check the map and you'll see that it was a lie. It really honked off Putin and is his publicly proclaimed goal to is resurrect the Warsaw Pact and the old Soviet Empire. Judging by what he's doing in Crimea and Syria there's no reason to doubt him. As far as the circumstances surrounding the collapse of the Soviet Union, the coulda woulda shoulda and the what might have happened that's a subject best left to historians and scholars. Perhaps you and I missed our true calling in life but I think that we can both agree that the centuries of bloodshed in Europe will continue long after you and I are gone. [/QUOTE]
