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.

Williamson may want to educate herself BEFORE acting as if she has a clue. But clearly, that would make sense. You go on with your foolish bad self.
Girl, you're hilariously out of touch with all kinds of reality.
You honestly have no clue what you are talking about…Tom is an expert on this…not a glorified romance novelist.
