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.

Just stop yourself. Perhaps the first thing you should look up, when you use the Internet for something other than posting your unsupported ideas, is the word “research”. It’s always good to do some before posting. Even more so before getting into a Twitter war with an expert.
He’s a lifelong scholar of Soviet and Russian affairs, idiot.
What's to know? You're the crystal woo woo lady. You say stupid shit, we all laugh about it and you fleece idiot white people to pay your bills.
He was unnecessarily insulting in his usual way, but the facts are on his side. We bent over backwards to help Yeltsin, but Russia is Russia and no amount of aid or political support can make that country function.
I see that Williamson is agin demonstrating her unfitness for public office of any kind. Cringe.
Great move..id say!! only problem.. had the coup gang.. reverting back..damn thats so familiar to the MAGA gang..wow.
Yeah Batista also allowed Castro to take over
How about you read a history book. Tom is right! We tried to help Russia, but it’s mismanagement and the growth of the Russian Mafia led to Putin’s rise. There was a time when the G-8 was a thing that included Russia! The other members kick Russia out after Crimea & now it’s G-7
You need to just stop now.
You’re sounding like a warrior, and not for peace either. I have read your books, and you’re not living up to your own message.
