It is true that Communism, being inherently unworkable, would have collapsed eventually anyways.
But to suggest that the West had nothing to do with it is contrary to history and contrary to what the leaders of the USSR frequently complained about.
> In fact, the Cold War was ended with a series of treaties between the US and the Soviet Union.
Yes, those treaties acknowledge that the USSR lost.

And if you can survive from 1917 to 1990 you can survive a lot of stuff. > would have collapsed eventually anyways. Anything collapses 'eventually' but there is no inherent reason the Soviet Union would have had to stop existing for 100s of years. > But to suggest that the West had nothing to do with it is contrary to history and contrary to what the leaders of the USSR frequently complained about. Sure the Soviet Union was not alone on a planet. And of course the Soviet leadership action were about problems in their country but it emphatically was not the inability fight the US military. > Yes, those treaties acknowledge that the USSR lost. Please point out how they acknowledge that.
