More From Angela Merkel

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?

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
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.

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
Back in 1956, we signed a treaty and surprisingly it was ratified both by the supreme soviet of the soviet union and the japanese parliament. but then japan refused to implement it and after that the soviet union also, so to say, nullified all the agreements reached within the framework of the treaty.
Japan Agreement Unions
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.

Occasionally, as children, we might figure out how to call somebody a name, and they would figure out how to call us. but it wasn't - it was so light. it was so fluffy. i didn't really have a strong awareness of segregation and the separation of races until i left lorain, ohio.
