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.

Girl you’re a joke🤣
You can't possibly be this ignorant to take on Tom on this subject
And you have no even a little bit of clue about the Soviet/Russian history.
Having read your books..You have zero experience in Russia, knowledge of the Russian people and its history. Maybe take your own advice and read on the subject. Josh is right and you are wrong. Maybe take the advice you give..Reflect & learn from this experience

Maybe you should try being a grown-up and admit you are wrong and that @RadioFreeTom is the subject matter expert on this topic. 🤷

You basically shat your pants in public, and everybody is laughing at you.
You shouldn’t get your history from reading crystals but here you are not knowing who you are talking to and oblivious to actual history. You can find it in books. I’d say I’m embarrassed for you but I’m more embarrassed for the educational system that allows such ignorance.

This should be easy to sort out. Are you a self-help writer or not? If not, what kind of writer are you?
I also allowed the breakup of the Soviet Union. And of course I was also in power.
