Why the Soviet Union collapsed and what it means for the USA & the world. History LIVE
Niall Ferguson has created a stir by comparing the USA today to the late Soviet Union. In “We’re all Soviets now“ he makes the case that the US empire is at risk of imploding like the Soviet Union did in 1991. But he had misunderstood the nature of the Soviet collapse in 1991, and the history lessons it provides.
In this video I will share with you the one book you should read if you want to understand why the Soviet Union collapsed and what it means for the USA and the world today. These events in the late 1980s and early 1990s contain the seeds of the conflict in Ukraine and debate on the future of NATO.
Join me LIVE or share your comments later to discuss why the Soviet Union collapsed and what it means for the USA and the world today.
