The False Understanding of the Soviet Collapse
The role of economic development theory and geopolitical theory in implementing effective foreign policy cannot be understated. The US foreign policy planners apparently made a huge bet that the Russian economy would collapse with a modicum of pressure, reminiscent of the collapse of the old Soviet Union.
Purportedly, the US policy planner “Grand Strategists” wanted to keep the regime change-destabilization strategies in Eurasia a secret, so they never consulted a wide spectrum of comparative ideological systems theorists to thoroughly understand why the old Soviet System collapsed in the first place.
