More From Ken Livingstone

25 million of russian people suddenly turned out to be outside the borders of the russian federation. they used to live in one state; the soviet union has traditionally been called russia, the soviet russia, and it was the great russia. then the soviet union suddenly fell apart, in fact, overnight, and it turned out that in the former soviet union republics there were 25 million russians. they used to live in one country and suddenly found themselves abroad. can you imagine how many problems came out?

It is my hypothesis that the fundamental source of conflict in this new [post-cold-war] world will not be primarily ideological or primarily economic. the great divisions among humankind and the dominating source of conflict will be cultural. nation states will remain the most powerful actors in world affairs, but the principal conflicts of global politics will occur between nations and groups of different civilizations. the clash of civilizations will dominate global politics. the fault lines between civilizations will be the battle lines of the future.

Why were the europeans bothered about the soviet union at all? it was nothing to do with us. china had nothing to do with us. why were we not building, without reference to the soviet union, a good society in our own countries? but no, we were all - in one way or another - obsessed with the bloody soviet union, which was a disaster. what people were supporting was failure. and continually justifying it.
Country People Unions
I don't think we replaced the soviet union with al qaida. i think we replaced, we should have, soviet union with the merger of globalization and the it revolution. i think it's that. that is the real challenge that we face today. unlike the soviet union, it has no face, it has no missiles, but it is something that challenges every job, every city and every community.

Strong countries and strong presidents talk to their adversaries. that's what kennedy did with khrushchev. that's what reagan did with gorbachev. that's what nixon did with mao. i mean think about it. iran, cuba, venezuela - these countries are tiny compared to the soviet union. they don't pose a serious threat to us the way the soviet union posed a threat to us. and yet we were willing to talk to the soviet union at the time when they were saying we're going to wipe you off the planet.
Country Strong Mean
National defense a strong usa defense brought down the soviet union. it was ronald reagan - first in a speech at notre dame university in may 1981, then his 'evil empire' speech of march 1983 - who most eloquently declared communism's imminent demise. reagan was right. and even soviet officials attribute ronald reagan's rhetoric and foreign policy to bringing down that 'evil empire.' by christmas day, 1990, the soviet union ceased to exist. liberals wished it were other things.
