The USSR collapsed because of internal politics. The DOMINANT factor was the utter defeat of Saddam's Iraq. When that happened, the insiders, the Bolshevik elites, turned on each other. The ultimate result was the COUP, August 15th, 1991. Afghanistan was NOT a factor -- at all. What happened is that the KGB blamed the Red Army; the Party blamed both. Their ENTIRE world view of building towards overcoming the West was shattered. That shattering is recurring right now. You can bet that Putin is entirely absorbed with holding onto his throne. Else, he dies. The only thing propping him up, at this time, is his alliance with Mr. Kim. Putin will now ally with Iran. Red China is propping him up through the back door. Remember how Xi was going to gouge Putin over a Siberian gas pipeline. They are frenemies -- not allies at all. When this is all over, don't be surprised if Xi takes Siberia back from Moscow.
