This is why you should not take your Soviet history lessons from a self-help writer. Not only did the United States try to help Gorbachev, he wasn't in power after the Soviet collapse, and we then went all-in for Yeltsin, including getting Russia into the G-7.

Mikhail Gorbachev was a visionary leader. The refusal of the U.S. to help Russia when the Soviet Union collapsed was typical of America's arrogance and lack of visionary foreign policy. If we had helped Gorbachev then, Russia's path would probably have not been toward a Putin.

You have no idea what kind of writer I am because you have never read my books. (You should never take your advice from someone who gets their opinions secondhand from the internet.) It was Gorbachev who allowed the breakup of the Soviet Union. Of course he was in power.

So which of your books are about Russia, @marwilliamson? Is it “Illuminated Prayers,” “A Course in Weight Loss,” or “A Woman’s Worth”?

Thank you, Marianne, for gifting me with the first mouthful-of-coffee-spitting laugh I've had in a good long while. For entertainment's sake, I hope you're dumb enough to keep arguing him on the topic.

As someone who was an adult and subscribed to a newspaper when this was going on, WTF are you talking about?
Replying to @marwilliamson @RadioFreeTom
Something tells me you have no idea who Tom Nichols is. He knows more about this topic than everyone who ran for POTUS in 2020(with the possible exception of Biden), combined. He definitely knows more than you. Sit this one out.
