I see conflicting arguments about the matter.

It’s about at least every quarter-year or so that I ask some kind of question about how the USSR could have gone differently in some way.

    Vietnam

    They had a chance? Weren’t they aligned with USSR, especially during the Sino-Soviet split? They would’ve treated the damn nation like MPLA Angola, at best (fund any economic, military, and media measures of sabatoging, if not destroying any post-reconstruction efforts)

    And they’ve already done worse so, as we’ve seen before, post-first war of independence, up to the end of the Soviet Union (sanctions, direct intervention via troops et mass bombing, anti-govt propaganda)
