I personally am aware of how unlikely is this reality.  For the Soviet Union to obligingly go belly-up without any thermonuclear fireworks of any kind is literally improbable - unless, as I’ve long suspected, they’d pulled the biggest con job in human history and never had anywhere near as many nuclear warheads as we were led to believe, if indeed any!! (beyond what they set off out at Novaya Zemlya).  “Power perceived, is power achieved,” but if making nukes were anything like easy Iran would have a bunch by now - they’ve been trying for years…  That may be the breakthrough revelation of the 21st century, that the astronomical sums of money and brains burned up by the Cold War US and NATO were unnecessary.
