@Nonilex again, what was the reason for an active war with #Iran? Naval blockade and secondary sanctions could have been implemented without 3 carriers, 50k soldiers, and the lose of us bases, businesses, and personnel! So far, #russia is the absolute winner. Trump is the #gorbachev of the USA

Su-24 started development in the early 1960s and first flew in 1967. It entered service in 1974 and production ceased in 1993

Young communist #Gorbachev was really sad to see it go and replaced

Lithuania remembers the anniversary of the January Events today. Soviet tanks rolled into Vilnius in 1991 and crushed peaceful protesters at the TV tower. I spoke to some of the victims' friends and relatives for this article a few years ago: while Gorbachev is remembered fondly in the West, the Baltics can't forget the violence.

'In reality, the end of the cold war and the fall of the Soviet Union were primarily the work of Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev — two consequences of his radically reformist policies (the former intended, the latter unintended).'

Anyone alive at that time should know the truth of this. What #gorbachev achieved was incredible. He turned the tide to help loosen the rules and allow conquered USSR vassal.countries to run their own affairs.
But too many party members and officials lost their nasty little Soviet domination powers and worked towards his downfall.

It was completely ruined by his self indulgent successor #Yeltsin who was influenced by extreme pursuit of capitalist wealth, suck-up oligarchs and then developed #TrumpSyndrome, by behaving like a Tsar with authoritarian policies.
Then to cap it all, Yeltsin appointed #Putin as his successor and it all wrnt to hell again.
