Oh, here we go again. You are twisting your own words to suit a changing position. Why is it I have to constantly remind you of your own posts:
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."Significant" does not mean "direct action". No, we did not invade, assault, buy out, or otherwise directly tamper with the USSR. But that is not what you said, either.
The Soviet Union collapsed for many reasons, not the least of which was the cost of fighting the Cold War with the US. I have made that point repeatedly with my posts. It is not a theory that I pulled out of thin air. So either justify your position, or piss off.
