It's not false.

You Americans defeated the Soviets.

Vietnam was a battle in a larger war. 

If you didn’t notice, the Russians under Putin are not much better than the Soviets.  It’s not a democracy.  Russians aren’t free.  And tensions with the rest of the world are extremely high. 
 

So, what year did the Cold War actually end?

Putin is merely another Russian Tsar, like Catherine, he wants Crimea.

The Soviets -Bolsheviks, the progressive leftists- they want to change us.  And they have lost.

People in China, India and Vietnam are now free to trade.

I don't think that you Americans quite understand what you did between 1950 and 1990 or so. Reagan got the credit for the fall of the wall in Berlin but surely Kennedy deserves credit too.

The world today is a better place because of what you Americans did in Korea and Vietnam.

You Americans fought battles and won a larger war.

Why do you keep saying, "you Americans"?

Russian Tsars paved the way for the Bolshevik revolution.  Life in Russia was pretty tough/cheap before the revolution, and it remained so after.

What are you even talking about here?  This whole thread makes little/no sense to me.

We in the West won the Cold War.  Like 1815, we won the peace for a century.

Since 1945, we have largely been at peace.

Vietnam and Korea? Like 1848. Skirmishes that we won.

=====

1914? The Austrian-Hungarian Empire didn't fail because of invasion - it fell from within.

I think Toynbee said that societies die from suicide, not murder.
