Re: Is this Cambirdge Analyitca a Russian Company?
There's also the issue that the cold war itself was arguably ended in the early 1960s
Several programs like that were instigated and later cancelled during disarmament periods. The latest Russian underwater nuke drone has the distinct smell of one of these old programs being hooked up to the electrodes and given a jolt.
I would not qualify that end as a "WIN". A "WIN" which ends up replacing King Herod with someone to the right of Atilla the Hun is not a real win. Nobody wins - the people under said Herod/Atilla/Chengiz Khan/Pol Pot/Kim Chen Ir/Stalin only suffer more as a result. We waste more resource to counter the increased threat. Most importantly, the threat of the last war for us as a species only increases.
What happened after the fall of the wall was a WIN. The people on the other side all opted for a LIBERAL society. They were definitely not throwing themselves on top of BMPs (as in Romania in 1989 or Russia in 1991) for a different version of 1984 retold by Bannon and Mogg and sprinkled by some Treasonous May Stasi re-enactment and Securitate style Dubia interrogations.
