- Abstract
The article discusses the failure of American foreign policy during the leadership of Mikhail Gorbachev in the Soviet Union. It argues that the US missed an opportunity to lead and instead chose to destabilize the Soviet Union and later Russia. The article criticizes the military-industrial complex and the prioritization of military spending over investments in infrastructure and education. It also highlights the difference in economic policies between the US and China, with the US focusing on financial profits while China invests in the real economy. The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of aligning foreign policy with democratic values and honoring agreements.
