John Doe's Cliff notes: First, the USSR occupied and controlled half of Europe. Raped the women, the land, the resources. Then they built up military in hopes of taking over USA, rest of Europe. Commies started wars in China, Korea, Vietnam, etc. After leftists in America made us give up, and then made us even stop sending weapons to S Vietnam, they lost. The north was supported by China and Russia. Tens of millions lost their lives in Vietnam, Cambodia, Russia, China, Cuba. It really looked grim for awhile as America seemed to give up and was on way to allowing Russia and China to dominate the world. Then Reagan came along and re-built up our military, forcing Russia to try to keep pace. They couldn't and basically went bankrupt.
