    I hate Dima Vorobiev with a passion. He’s a former Soviet “propagandist” who has his own website, answers questions on Quora, and generally peddles anti-communist nonsense.

    That being said, not everything he says is bullshit, and I think he provides an interesting window in regards to certain elements of the Cold War.

    I think he has a point where the Soviet Union may have had a strategy at continuing past East Germany and straight up trying to liberate all of Germany, and fighting against Europe with the help of the Soviet’s allied states.

    That being said, that would have been foolhardy and dangerous, but a non-zero chance of victory.

    The Sino-Soviet split was a disaster and alot of digital ink has been spilled rehashing the how’s and why’s. I think if the Sino-Soviet split never happened, or if China and the USSR made up relatively quickly, they could have launched a joint operation to support each other more and begin sending even more money, guns and resources to each other for practically free, and arming communist rebel groups all over the world, and eventually being able to free the world from capitalism.
