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.

Are you for real? What educational background backs your wildly incorrect assertions? Please stay in your self-help lane…
You’re not even ankle deep, and yet, way out of your depth. The collapse of the Soviet Union was concurrent with Gorbachev’s resignation as premier #ChristmasDay 1991. On #BoxingDay 1991, Boris Yeltsin was President of Russian Federation.
Yeah, sorry, that is completely wrong.
You obviously have no idea who Tom is, what his career was and is now and how many books he’s written. get your facts straight!
How does this weirdly uninformed woman have 2.7 million followers. I continue to lose faith in humanity.
lol wow, please keep digging i love it.
