You said:
The russians build the wall to prevent people escaping to the west, but I fail to see what that has to do with the freedom of europeans in general. Most of the eastern european countries were under sovjet control. I don't see how the US made an end to it. The fall of the sovjet empire came largely from within. I don't see a particular significant US role in this whole process.You are, clearly and unequivocally, dismissing any effort on the part of the US as insignificant. And if Paul Kennedy is your only source of information for this viewpoint, then you have a LOT more reading to do.
