>The Cold War was just massive charade with the main purpose of subjugating the remaining independent nations of the world into either Nato or into the Comintern.
Yes, it was real. The thing that destroyed the USSR was it was so utterly committed ideologically to its fight against capitalism that unlike China, it refused to alter course in any way that could have ultimately preserved them. People who act like outside forces destroyed them are post-soviet communists who can't stop coping and seething that their glorious socialist project lost. It was destroyed by its own internal contradictions.
>US just pretended that the Soviets were a threat
Let's be real, if you have 40,000 nuclear weapons, you're a threat even if you're a friend.

Because the Electric Universe model doesn't hold up to even basic scrutiny of how reality works. Not even theoretical reality but observable reality.
