Yea well a funny thing tends to happen after funding dries up; Wars get started by those who didn't dry up their funding. If the objective is peace and security then it is achieved by preparing for war. This is because the ability to conduct a proper attack carries w/ it an effective defense, which tends to dissuade tyrants and thugs.

+degen83 US military build-up was a direct response to Soviet military build-up, not the other way around as you are suggesting. During the Brezhnev-era of the 1970's, the US was cutting down its capabilities, notably under US President Jimmy Carter. Lots of highly sophisticated US military programs were cancelled or left underfunded during this time. At the exact same time, Brezhnev had been rebuilding the Soviet armed forces into the largest force since the end of the Great Patriotic War. Before Carter, the US had the largest nuclear stockpile, but at the end of his term the USSR had built a *significantly* larger nuclear stockpile. Ronald Reagan's leadership sought to reverse all the cuts and reductions made by Jimmy Carter in order to regain parity with Soviet forces. Brezhnev's excessive military spending obviously had a lot to do with the economic issues faced by the USSR in the 1980s, and it was further compounded with disastrous results by the Soviet leadership's desire to further increase the pace of weapons development in response to Reagan's move to improve NATO's capability. Long story short, no, the US did not spark the USSR into an arms race, rather it was Brezhnev's built-up of Soviet forces which sparked NATO's build-up to regain parity. The Soviets then attempted to one-up NATO with even further military build-up, which they simply could not afford by that point, thus contributing partly to the economic collapse of the USSR. I'll concede to the fact that we in the West are not always told the entire story, but the full story isn't always as sinister as it is sometimes made out to be. :)

***** The Soviet Union kept eastern Europe under ocupation because they feared another invasion from the west, like Napolean did, like Hitler did. They wanted to stop that from happening. They were also convinced NATO meant to invade the Soviet Union, and so they kept a huge amoun of forces on active duty and built up their own domestic arms indusrtry and military forces to rival that of the USA and NATO. NATO, who didn't understand the Soviet poit of view, saw the USSR building up as a threat to NATO and thus NATO built up, which sent signals to the Soviets that NATO meant to invade and so USSR had to build up. It was a cycle because nobody had t aken the time to develop trust between the two sides. Instead the closest thing to trust was MAD, which ended up keepign the peace between the two sides.

Very cool. I remember reading somebody else’s 1986 copy that year while I was in high school. (I was actually at model UN, in the original United Nations building in The Hague.). For a high school kid who was very interested in the Cold War and the military standoff, it was pretty amazing to see the concept artists renderings of new Soviet ICBMs, boomers (Delta IV, I think), fighters (the MiG-29 had not yet been publicly revealed), etc. And this was prior to any real pullbacks or military cutbacks due to impacts of Gorby (as are discussed in this video a couple of years later).

Well someone was waaaaay off on their analysis,given today's circumstances.

This footage is very groovy

Cbristian Bale was spot on playing as Dick Cheney in The Vice

Everything that was said of the soviet Union in this documentary could have been said of the USA at the time 15 to 17 % of gdp spending in the soviet Union equated to about 5 or 6% defense spending in the USA as the American economy was so much bigger than the soviet economy some 2 and a half to 3 times per capita bigger we now know as history has proved that America was ahead both quantitive and qualative in nuclear missiles

Both sides would have had a real interest in not having it go nuclear. Nuclear war has no winners. Mutually assured destruction is mutual. So if war did break out, I think both sides would have refrained from using nukes for as long as possible. The real risk would have been ending the war conventionally. If either side felt like they were under an existential threat, they likely would have used their nukes as a last resort. That means that at some point, both sides would have to back down and agree to a negotiated peace. There couldn’t have been an unconditional total defeat of one side or the other like in WWII. If it looked like it was going to happen, the losing side would launch and that would be that for everyone.

Their current Defense Budget is under $70 Billion Dollars while the USA's Defense budget is about $700 Billion Dollars. Looking at the current Russian Air Force is like visiting a Cold War museum. Sure, they have some cool planes but in real small numbers and poorly maintained. They can't afford the fuel and upkeep to keep more than a handful of top notch pilots.

+randy109 What a shocking display of arrogance, ignorance, and naivety! Militarily, Russia remains the single greatest threat to the West, followed by China. I have no doubt that NATO maintains a clear strategic advantage over Russia and China, both in conventional and nuclear warfare, but it has always been wise to *never* underestimate your enemies, especially when they still remain ideologically at odds with the West. It is always better to perceive your enemies as stronger than they really are, rather than to be surprised to find out they are much stronger than imagined.I should remind you that ALL of the world's most powerful empires have been defeated by inferior forces because they foolishly believed in their undoubted superiority. America is the world's only proper superpower for now, but if the people running the show at the Pentagon and NATO allow themselves to believe the idea that they cannot be challenged, then that is the beginning of the end. Unfortunately, a lot of the analysts and some of the leadership involved in those organisations now seem to be thinking the way you are. They have have this dumb idea that radical Islam poses the greatest existential threat to the West, and they are ignorant to think that. Extremism is merely a nuisance, not a proper threat to existence, and making it a primary focus means tens of billions of dollars are wasted on addressing extremism rather than spending more on areas which really need it. All the most important programs are being deprived of funding; such as modernising the nuclear deterrent, aviation (billions wasted on the worthless F-35), space-based systems, directed energy weapons, cyber capabilities, etc. The Russians are consistently violating nuclear treaties with brand new nuclear weapon developments which pose an enormous existential risk because NATO *still* lacks a cohesive missile defence system. While the Russians continue breaking nuclear agreements, the Americans are sitting on their arses doing practically nothing in the way of modernisation. The US still have the greatest nuclear ballistic missile ever made, the MX / Peacekeeper ICBM, sitting in retirement due to a treaty obligation with Moscow which Putin has already broken! Instead reactivating Peacekeeper, they have artificially limited their land-based capability to 40+ year old Minuteman III missiles with an artificially limited number of MIRVs, again due to the same treaty obligations which Moscow has broken. So let's not be stupid and underestimate the realities of the world today.

We miss USSR

Dick Cheney was the best soviet propagandist! Keep the funds running, Dick! 😂

GOD Bless Mikhail Gorbachev for being a man of Peace. The 1991 end of the Soviet Union could have turned into a World-ending Apocalypse. Also, may GOD Bless the Russian Peoples during our current Crises (2024). I pray Putin either wakes up or sees the true value of World Peace. May GOD Love & Protect us All.

СССР 👍

Not a "less threatening image of Soviet military power " but a less visible recognition of defeat in Afghanistan

Richardd Plantgnt very true. East Germans would have revolted and probably many other Warsaw Pact hellholes. Problem is too many Russians would choose to fight rather than face death at the hands of rear echelon units of the Stavka

They didn't actually need to fight but to drive west and soak up NATO munitions with their machines and bodies. Like Chinese human wave.

@Ron Lynquist They are not exaggerating. The soviet army had 6 million soldiers, 55000 tanks(T 80 and T 72) which were so ahead of their times, 50,000 artillery pieces, 97000 AFVs, thousands of scud and krug ballistic missiles. The soviet airforce had more than 14,000 aircraft of which more than 9000 were combat aircraft. The soviet navy had 7 aircraft carriers, 45 destroyers, 33 cruisers, 275 submarines, 113 frigates, 124 corvettes, 41 amphibious warships, 425 patrol ships and 35 minewarfare vessels. The soviet nuclear arsenal was almost twice as large as the combined NATO arsenal( 40,000 vs 23,000). This is data from 1990, at lowest point of the soviet military might. During the 1960s, 70s and early 80s the soviets would have absolutely dominated the US and NATO without any help from their Warsaw Pact allies (puppets). The soviets also had the fearsome NVA on their side, a comparatively small army of 200,000 men which were considered to be one of the most elite armies in the world.
