Gorbachev - We all lost the Cold War, particularly the USA and the USSR.

"They've got it just right. It is a dangerous conclusion that the West won the Cold War. The argument that one side won the Cold War is mistaken. We all lost the Cold War, particularly the USA and the USSR. We all won by ending it. That is the scientific conclusion."--Mikhail Sergeevich Gorbachev

Truer words were never spoken. And the rotting hulks of weapons the world over, many of them each costing more than 10 fully stocked libraries, is proof.
