I couldn't agree with you more..

...although I think the environmentalists and their overt communist agenda and terror tactics warranted a mention too.

" The Soviet Union never fell"

Speaking to the Politburo in 1987, Gorbachev remarked:
"Gentlemen, comrades, do not be concerned about all you hear about glasnost and perestroika and democracy in the coming years. These are primarily for outward consumption. There will be no significant internal change within the Soviet Union, other than for cosmetic purposes. Our purpose is to disarm the Americans and let them fall asleep. (page 135)"

Gorbachev is not alone in his views. There are still forces in Russia (as well as China) who would love to see America brought down, and just may. The old Communist adage of letting us implode from within was a slow prescription but seems the US is the only country short of patience in war matters. We are the Super Power with ADD (attention defiecet disorder)

Gorby quote

Hey...I came across that quote a few years and I saved it for reference as it is quite telling. If you Goggle the first line "Gentlemen, comrades, do not be concerned about all you hear about glasnost and perestroika and democracy in the coming years", you will come up all kinds of hits for it and its source.
