Your post is hilarious -- the USSR didn&#x27;t lose because it didn&#x27;t try, but the US lost because it didn&#x27;t try.<p>Do you see the amusing double-speak whereby the Russians are excused from &quot;losing&quot;, but the Americans are not?<p>&gt;aka self-lie regardless of facts.<p>No different than your protection of the Russian public&#x27;s desperation to not feel inferior to the capitalist West, causing them to &quot;not even try to compete&quot;.
