Truer words were never spoken.
It goes without saying that China does have conflicts with Taiwan,America and India,to mention a few,but it goes to the credit of its farsighted political leadership that it didn’t allow these disputes to come in the way of its economic development.The Soviet Union too,was once a super power to be reckoned with.Such gigantic was its progress that it was the first country which had sent its satellite to moon.Its downfall set in motion the day it started intervening rather unwarranted in Eastern Europe,Africa and Afghanistan,to mention a few.Moscow couldn’t maintain a balance between its economic development and military adventures and before long its economic condition was damaged beyond repair.The American CIA exploited the unrest among the common soviets due to its failing economy with the result that the mighty Soviet empire collapsed like a house of card
Jimmy Carter is a seasoned politicians.His above-mentioned statement was,in fact,an indirect reminder to the American president that in case he didn’t shun his bellicose stance on many international issues,America would be in trouble before long.
